Decision-Making and Health IT
• 4 Habits of High Performing Health Care Systems (NEJM, Dec. 2011)
1. Specification and Planning → Use data to trigger an “advanced plan”
2. Infrastructure Design → Workflows that: Deliver timely information at the right decision point
Simplify the process
Match the proper skills, resources to process
3. Measurement & Oversight → Realtime, Data-driven Operations
4. Self-Study → Apply measurements for ongoing learning and improvement
www.SuccessEHS.com • 888.879.7302
Data Impact Potential
• 5 Potential Areas of Impact → Quality, Patient Engagement, Efficiency / Revenue, Clinical Research, Risk / Liability
• Today, Market Remains … o Fragmented o Transaction-based o Acute Care / Reactive Care Delivery
• Reform Goal: Morph into agile, responsive system that is … o Proactive with a focus on prevention o Engaging the patient for wellness lifestyles o Managing complex patient populations
• Industry is Young → Health IT Hype Cycle

MU Cultural Shift
• 4 V’s of Health Care Data o Volume – Large data stores for research o Variety – Multiple approaches o Velocity
Info to Provider when with the Patient Info to Patient when they can still make a
behavior change
o Value – Data that drives a cultural shift and ongoing process improvement
www.SuccessEHS.com • 888.879.7302
Incremental Approach
• Incremental approach today positions for Incredible Future
• Call to Action … o What do market and regulatory changes mean? o Evaluate the Must Do vs. the Must Do o Collaborate with stakeholders
Align goals with public health, hospitals, payers, patients, clinicians, vendors
Identify potential barriers and formulate solutions o Primary Care Health IT Application
New approaches to managing patient populations for prevention
Use of data for purpose-driven performance improvement

CDS Workflow
• Great place to start! • MU1 → Implement 1 CDS Intervention
and Track Adherence • MU2 → Implement 5 CDS
Interventions, align with 4+ CQMs • MU3 → Implement 15 CDS
Interventions

Text to Code Translation • Guidelines are Narrative → Human Readable • AHRQ eRecommendation for Technical Specification →
Machine Readable • Consistency in coded logic statements aligns:
o Development Costs o Implementation Timelines o Uniformity of data for comparative effectiveness
• AHRQ 5-Rights of CDS o Get the Right Information o To the Right Person o In the Right CDS Format o In the Right Technology Channel o At the Right time in the Patient Workflow

CDS Workflow eMeasure NQF 0059; CMS CQM 122 → Hemoglobin A1c screenings of Poorly Controlled Diabetic Patients
Report the percentage of patients age 18-75 with diabetes who had hemoglobin A1c > 9.0% during the measurement period
The “Right” The Answer Redesign
• Initial assessment of DM; target A1c value of ≤ 7%
• A1c at least 2x/year for stable patients.
• More frequently for poorly controlled.
Get the Right Information
1.Rule-logic pre-built? 2.Available in EHR? 3.If pt. presents for
unrelated issue, will system alert?
4.Can EHR generate list of non-compliant pts. for outreach based on pt. communication preference?
www.SuccessEHS.com • 888.879.7302
CDS Workflow
The “Right” The Answer Redesign
• Monitor and treat hyperglycemia with a target A1c of 7%
To the Right Person
1.Who needs this information during clinic workflows?
2.Who needs this information for non-compliance tracking and outreach?
www.SuccessEHS.com • 888.879.7302
CDS Workflow
The “Right” The Answer Redesign
In the Right CDS Format
1.What is the proper CDS Format(s) to manage DM A1c?
2.What can my EHR provide?
3.Can alerts, order sets and documentation templates be customized?
• Alerts / Reminders • Reference Guidelines • Condition-focused
Order Sets • Pt. Reports • Flowsheets • Documentation
Templates • Other
www.SuccessEHS.com • 888.879.7302
CDS Workflow
The “Right” The Answer Redesign
1.Will the alert be a pop-up note or will the user have to prompt?
2.Can communication for outreach be done via secure email?
3.Should an alert be sent to the Patient Portal?
In the Right Technology Channel
Alert!
• Mobile Device • Internet Patient Portal • EHR • PHR • Other
www.SuccessEHS.com • 888.879.7302
CDS Workflow
The “Right” The Answer Redesign
1.Can and should CDS information be provided at more than one time of the patient workflow?
2.Can alerting be configured (E.g., based upon severity)?
3.Can patient education / information be customized?
At the Right Time in the Patient Workflow
• Pt. Registration • Assessment / Triage • Exam Room / PE • Treatment / Plan Dev. • Performing Orders • Check-out • Remote / After Hours

Do’s and Don’ts Don’t Do
Practice “Cookie-Cutter” Medicine → Same Tests to all Patients with Similar Symptoms
Efficient, but not necessarily Effective
Practice Evidence-Based Medicine • Use HIE to look beyond 4-walls • Use Standardized Vocabularies
E.g., Sys. 1→ High BP; Sys. 2 → Elev. BP; Sys. 3 → HTN; Instead use SNOMED CT
Seek all answers from a Data Warehouse • Big, powerful but … • Expensive and not suitable for many day-to-
day needs
Leverage MU2 CCDA/CCD to support patient-specific tasks • Use coded data to standardize terminology • Supports HIE • Helps with predictive modeling • Can fill-in record gaps
Approach Data as a Hunter, Gatherer • Time consuming, expensive • Data is often not compatible
Domesticate Data by “Normalizing,” if possible • Map/Document using structured vocabularies
(E.g., SNOMED, LOINC) • Meets MU and other regs • Strive for consistent Data Capture
www.SuccessEHS.com • 888.879.7302
Do’s and Don’ts Don’t Do
Wait to consider new ways to use your data • Don’t wait for Big Data to knock on your
door • You have a wealth of enterprise data
today
E.g., Financial, Operational and Clinical
Aggregate data wherever you can afford to do so • Does your vendor have a Service-
Oriented Architecture (SOA) strategy? • Where can data come from?
E.g., Medical devices, Labs, Questionnaires
Limit your vision to your Health Care Organization; you will only be able to react to the market for competitiveness
Use free Public Health Data for Strategic Planning
E.g., Univ. of FL merged health data with Google Maps to create “heat” sensitivity for chronic dz. Found 3 counties underserved for breast screening and sent mobile units.

• What do you accomplish?
• 4 → 1
Patient Scenario
www.SuccessEHS.com • 888.879.7302
Consistent Data Capture
• Consistent Data Capture = Strong Reporting • Data Reporting Drives Performance for VBP • Data Reporting Provides Credit for treat the
“Miss West” Patient • Three Ways to Capture Data
o Performed (Here or Elsewhere)
o Not Performed (Medical Reason)
o Not Performed (Patient Refusal)

Health plans use claims data to build patient
complexity profiles
The patient complexity profile
must be repopulated
annually using calendar-year
claims data (i.e., patient
complexity starts at baseline every year).
Diagnosis Codes (ICD-9 and ICD-10) are
used to calculate patient
complexity.
