esMD OPIE LLP Pilot

Agenda• Who are we?• How did we approach the pilot?• What are our goals?• Ecosystem Review• Workflow Review• Timeline

Who are we?• Clinicians/Owners/Thought Leaders• Common Technology Platform• OPIE is EMR for O&P

Who are we?• Clinics

• Alabama Artificial Limb and Orthopedic Service• Fikes Brace and Limb• Gainesville Prosthetics• Limb Lab• Optimus Prosthetics• Syracuse Prosthetic Center• 15-20 Licensed, Certified Prosthetists• 10-20 ‘Functional Level Assessors’

• Quality Outcomes• OPIE Software

Approach• Core Problem

• Medicare Requires: Quality Documentation from Qualified Provider

• Typical ordering provider doesn’t/won’t/can’t create this quality documentation.

Approach• Relationship problem

• Establish relationship with ‘Functional Level Assessors’ (Doctor, Physical Therapist, Physiatrist, PA, LNP, Clinical Nurse Specialist)

• 2 referrals• Explain need for enhanced documentation• Explain how to complete required documentation

Approach• Technology problem

• Use ‘new’ workflow and clinical relationship in manual setting.

• Bring in technology ‘low hanging fruit’• 3rd party HIH for connection to esMD Gateway

• Consider a portal proof of concept for document exchange between concerned parties.

• Beyond Scope: Provider Directory, Digital Signatures, Direct integration with Functional Level Assessor EMR

Goals (Primary)• Demonstrate usage of LLP eClinical

Template in manual workflow• Effectively find and coordinate with functional level

assessors?• Documentation meets CMS requirements?

• Bundle documents as PDF and communicate with esMD Gateway

Goals (Secondary)• Create a portal proof of concept to

facilate exchange of documents between functional level assessor and prosthetist.• Create a “closed network” system where

all actors are known and validated through appropriate mechanism

Ecosystem Review

Workflow Review (Highlevel)• Establish Relationship With Functional

Assessors• Get 2nd referral from Ordering Provider

where applicable• Conduct evaluations, compare results,
