Interfaces/Conversions High Level Plan
12/12/2012
Definitions/Assumptions
• CE – Centricity Enterprise (formerly known as Carecast) provided by GE.
• McKesson – refers to the suite of systems in use at PHSW.
• All statements throughout the presentation are specific to all of PHMG including PHSW unless specifically called out.
• A number of specific use systems will be interfaced but are not called out in this presentation as they are grouped under the section of the data that they need to receive from Epic or are sending to Epic (i.e. – Muse, Provation, etc.)
• Focus primarily on interfaces that affect provider workflow and experience.
• Manual abstraction conversions from PHSW non-McKesson clinic systems.
• Conversions from EMR used by the Cardiovascular groups in Eugene and Bellingham are still being investigated
Continuity of Care (CCD)
The Continuity of Care Document (CCD) is an electronic document exchange standard for sharing patient summary information. Summaries include the
most commonly needed pertinent information about current and past health status in a form that can be shared by all computer applications,
including web browsers, electronic medical record (EMR) and electronic health record (EHR) software systems.
• Epic is able to send a CCD and incorporate data from a CCD directly into the Epic
• McKesson is sending a CCD and will be able to incorporate data in a future release
Functionality to incorporate data in a future release is not yet known
• GE is not able at this time to send a CCD but will be able to send and also incorporate data in a future release
Custom CCD being created at this time prior to Epic implementation Functionality to incorporate data in a future release is not yet known
Patient Registration
• Registration will occur in Epic, CE or McKesson
• Interfaces will keep patient information in synch across the systems at the patient level
• No visit level or insurance information will be interfaced or converted
• Visit level refers to episode level such as ED visit, hospital census and previous clinic visit info
• Some visit numbers may be interfaced to improve grouping of hospital results in Epic
• Full conversion of patients from McKesson and CE proposed
• Patient level data will not be electronically converted from the non-McKesson and non-GE clinic systems used throughout PeaceHealth
• Epic schedules will be transmitted to designated downstream systems such as Provation
• Provider schedules will no longer flow to CE
• Future Appointments from CB will be converted thru the Boston Software abstraction process. SW systems are being evaluated.
• No inbound schedules into Epic from other systems is planned
Appointment/ Patient Scheduling Data
Allergies1
• Allergies will be documented in Epic, CE or McKesson
• Allergies entered into CE or McKesson will be available in Epic via CCD
• Allergies entered into Epic • will be available via CCD in McKesson• May be interfaced into CE
• Currently being tested as part of a different project• Functionality limitations may limit the feasibility of
usage • Allergies are planned to be converted from CE and
McKesson into Epic.• Workflow to require verification when first
reviewed by a caregiver may be necessary.• Free Text Allergies in CE will be converted thru the
Boston Software abstraction process
1. Bi-directional allergies may be possible but is strongly not recommended by Epic
• Epic recommendation: Epic retrieves medication history directly from Surescripts and medications are added to the patient’s Epic chart as they are reviewed and confirmed by caregiver.
• Medications prescribed in Epic would be available in McKesson and GE via CCD inquiry.
• 2 years of Medications in CE will be converted thru the Boston Software abstraction process for active patients. PHSW currently being investigated.
Medications
Immunizations
• Epic is able to retrieve data directly from the state registries• Initial retrieval would populate Epic in lieu of conversions for a number
of clinics• Immunization history from CE will be loaded into Epic
• Providers stated that CE is more complete record than state registries
• Immunizations documented in Epic will be interface to state registries
• Immunizations documented in Epic will be viewed via CCD in McKesson and CE
• Immunizations documented in McKesson and GE will be viewed via CCD in Epic
• Immunizations given in the inpatient environment may be interfaced into Epic
CE documentation processes may need to change
Problem List
• Problem lists documented in Epic available in McKesson and CE via CCD
• Problem lists documented in Epic potential to be interfaced into CE
• Is this clinically valuable? Untested CE interface Coding in Epic to occur in ICD10 but interfaced in ICD9 until undetermined date
prior to ICD10 Go-Live in October 2014
• Problem List, Surgical and Medical History all currently found in CE Problem List will be converted via the Boston Software abstraction process. Looking into PHSW solutions.
Lab, Imaging, Pathology and Ancillary Orders
• Orders placed in Epic will flow to lab, imaging and other ancillary systems
• Order updates and additions will be transmitted to Epic
• No inpatient orders will be placed in Epic or viewable in Epic
• No orders conversion planned
Lab, Imaging, Pathology and Ancillary Results
• Lab, imaging, pathology and ancillary results will flow
to Epic on orders placed in Epic• Epic initiated results will be available in CE and
McKesson
• Lab, imaging, pathology and ancillary results ordered in the inpatient environment or sent as copy-to will flow into Epic
In-box functionality for these results to be determined Current CE FYI alert functionality being investigated for similar
functionality in Epic
• PACS link included in Epic to launch images when needed
• Conversions in planning from the following key systems:
• Laboratory and pathology • Imaging, digital echo• Exact system list to be developed and shared
• Additional details in later slide
Transcribed Documents (dictations)
• Transcribed clinic documents and desired hospital documents will be available in Epic
• McKesson documents likely to be links to documents in Horizon Patient Folders
• Desired clinic documents created or edited in Epic will be sent to McKesson, GE and any other downstream systems such as referring provider’s EMR
• Epic application project team will determine scope of documents to be converted
Scanned Documents
• Scanned clinic documents and key hospital documents will be available in Epic via integration with Streamline Health
• Streamline Health will be interfaced to both CE and Epic
• Historical data currently in Streamline Health will be available in Epic
• Link to McKesson Patient Folder (HPF) will be available at the patient level
• Discovery underway to determine if it will be possible to have direct links at the document level.
• New interface being developed as part of a different project

Ambulatory Medications 2 Years for active patients**
None Recommend using Surescripts option – 2 years via BSS Abstraction Process
* Still needs to be verified **active patients = seen in two years prior to local go-live or scheduled for visit after local go-live
Manual Conversions/Data Abstraction
• There are significant limits to the discrete data that can be electronically uploaded from McKesson or CE thru the interfaces.
• Number of reasons to convert discrete data:• To reduce go-live impact on productivity.• To quickly ramp-up EP’s to meet MU requirements• To quickly ramp up the value of the tools in Epic.
• Ex. Health Maintenance Alerts
• Types of discrete data to consider loading:• Problem list (with conversion to ICD-10), Past Medical, Surgical and Family
History, Immunizations, Allergies, Medications, Health maintenance data, MU,
PQRS, DWAP and data for other PH initiatives.
• Boston Software has been contracted with to help PeaceHealth with these abstraction efforts. This scripting tool will allow for the above discrete data elements to be loaded into the patient record prior to each regions implementation.
• Team in place to determine transitions of care and what is impacted– Lead by Kathy Skipper and Marcy McKey
• Definition of team’s work– PHMG and PH hospitals currently utilize CE for inpatient and outpatient and share
data within that environment. Implementing Epic Ambulatory will split this shared
clinical data and disrupt workflows between inpatient and outpatient. At PHSW
caregivers utilize McKesson for inpatient and multiple EHR in the ambulatory
environment. Implementation Epic at PHSW will similarly split clinical data exchange
and disrupt workflows between inpatient and outpatient.
• Purpose– Identify and analyze breakages, design solutions, and implement new processes,
tools, and education to ensure patient safety and efficient workflow.
Assessment:– Online survey for PHMG Clinic and PH Hospitals (see hand-out)
– Face-to-face interviews for selected clinics
– Interviews with Collaboratives
– Data review; interface gap analysis
Design:– Identify solutions
– Obtain approval
Build & Implement:– Workflows, interfaces, other tools
– Change management, communication, education
