UC San Diego Health led by informatics team

  • Use data analytics to target areas of impact (“hot spotting”)
  • “Home for Dinner” program
  • Physician Informatics service owners!
  • Voice recognition tools

UC San Diego Health led by ambulatory operations

  • Practice transformation! Workflow redesign, supported by IS team, to ensure all roles

functioning at the top of their license

  • Center for Medicare Services (CMS) Administrator Seema Verma announced “patients over

paperwork” initiative “At CMS, our top priority is putting patients first. CMS Administrator Seema Verma launched the “Patients over Paperwork” initiative, which is in accord with President Trump’s Executive Order that directs federal agencies to “cut the red tape” to reduce burdensome regulations. Through “Patients over Paperwork,”

  • CMS established an internal process to evaluate and streamline regulations with a goal to

reduce unnecessary burden, to increase efficiencies, and to improve the beneficiary

  • experience. In carrying out this internal process, CMS is moving the needle and removing

regulatory obstacles that get in the way of providers spending time with patients.”

What is the documentation in a note for?

Australia Clinical care

At RCH – no staff other than clinicians look at the outpatient

  • notes. Patients and families can

view. There are no drivers for clinicians to document anything other than what is needed for good clinical care

USA The documentation seems to serve many non-clinical purposes. Clinical care often seems to be a secondary purpose

Many non-clinicians are reviewing the notes There are strong drivers for clinicians to document +++

Ordering Inbasket Messages

It’s not just documentation

slide-42

We also do much less

  • Ordering
  • Co-signing orders
  • Attesting trainees notes
  • Marking things as “reviewed”
  • Alerting – drug and other warnings

It’s not just documentation
