Topics for Discussion Update on Progress Role of Stratis Health for advancing Goal #2 recommendations for MN-HIE

Motivation: Preparedness, Response and Electronic Health Records
HHS Secretary Leavitt …. "There may not have been an experience that demonstrates, for me or the country, more powerfully the need for electronic health records ... than Katrina." ….
(HHS - 9/13/2005).
Hurricane Katrina– Many paper health and health care records
lost permanently– Many digital records available in days
3
Motivation: “Storm” of Problems
Error rates are too high – 20 deaths due to errors in MN Hospitals in 2004
Quality is inconsistent – ~50% of adults don’t get offered recommended care
Costs are escalating – 11% average yearly cost growth over past 5 years.
Research results are not rapidly used– ~ 17 years until new innovations are widely used.
Capacity for early detection & response to threats and disasters is minimal– Katrina response– Limited Public Health Capacity
4
Motivation: Un-Linked Systems Are Resource Expensive
“we typically have to enter the same child's name again and again in 6 or more data systems and then try and keep the address and related information up to date”. It can be a nightmare and it is expensive.
- Local Public Health Department Director
5
Motivation: Information Technology Can Help Solve Real Problems Today
40% of outpatient prescriptions unnecessary
20% of lab & x-ray tests ordered because originals can not be found
18% medical errors from inadequate patient information.
Patients get only 54.9% of recommended care
49% of notifiable diseases reported
- Dr. Blackford Middleton, PHIN 2005 Meeting
6
Motivation: Minnesota Gaps** Preliminary data – Based on limited surveys
Type of Facility/ Provider Number Estimated use of HIT
Gap/
Comment
Clinics / Primary Care ~ 700 Est. 5%-15% Small & rural clinics
Long Term care-Nursing Homes
~ 402 ~ 2% - 4% Clinical support, Inter-connectivity
Emergency Departments ~ 129 ~ 10% - 12% Core data access, Connect across systems
Local Public Health Departments
~ 91 Varies Limited access to community data
No Interoperability

Opportunity: National Framework for Strategic Action*
2004 Goals 1. Inform Clinical Practice
2. Interconnect Clinicians
3. Personalize Care
4. Improve Population Health
2005 Action American Health
Information Community (AHIC)
4 - RFPs: Pilots NHIN Harmonize Health IT

What is the Minnesota e-Health Initiative?
Private-Public collaboration Guided by an advisory committee Born of need and legislation: 2004/05 “Dedicated to accelerate the use of
Health Information Technology (HIT) in all areas of the state…”
For the purpose of: – Improving health and health care quality – Increasing patient safety – Reducing health care costs– Improving public health

Stakeholder Input to date
We (MDH and Stratis Health) have started to meet with key stakeholder groups (e.g. Buyers, Health Plans, Hospitals)
General consensus:• Keep communicating• Move forward!
More meetings to come!

HIT Assessment Objectives
Inventory the major assessments and related data collection tools for measuring the status of HIT adoption in Minnesota– Identify gaps in current adoption of HIT – Identify gaps in assessments of HIT – Present the findings to the MN e-Health Advisory
Committee
Establish an ongoing assessment framework
20
HIT Assessment Domains
Hospitals Clinics Long Term Care
Facilities Emergency depts Local Pub Health depts Pharmacies Clinical Laboratories Home Care and Home
Health Agencies Health systems Health Plans
Tele-medicine Sites Persons/Consumers Physicians Registered Nurses Stand-Alone Radiology
Practices State agencies
represented by the Health Care Cabinet
MN Dept of Health MN Dept of Human
Services

Ongoing Assessment Collaboration
Working with MDH and the U of MN Health Informatics division to develop a comprehensive informatics framework for ongoing assessment on Minnesota
It will include assessment needs for all 4 Minnesota strategic goals, across all the domains
22
MN-HIE Interim Board
Recommendation: The MN e-Health Steering Committee recommended (June 23, 2005) establishing an Interim Board for the MN-HIE
Key principle for the MN-HIE Board:– MN-HIE will be operated with a multi-
stakeholder Board of Directors
23
Interim Board Composition
– Community Hospital– Consumer– Health Plan– Hospital System– Insurance Company– Pharmacy
– Physician– Public Health– Purchaser– Quality Improvement
Organization– State Government
Recommendation: The workgroup recommends that the Interim Board represents interests in the following areas:
24
Phased Approach
Recommendation: Once MN-HIE is established, composition of the Board will evolve over time as the organization moves through three phases of development
Phase I: Initialization – Establish a governance structure that will
be used to define, plan, and design the MN-HIE
25
Interim Board Next Steps
Identify candidates to represent the interests identified by the Governance Workgroup
An update on this process will be presented to the Advisory Committee as part of the November update
The objective is to finalize selection of the Interim Board and convene its first meeting in 1Q06
26
Next Steps and Challenges
Priority for the work plan Advance strategic topics for the 4 GoalsEncourage state wide coordination Assure underserved needs are metAddress population health issues Include readiness for preparedness and
response Effective communications and education
