Massachusetts Health IT Council and Advisory Committee Meeting

Health IT Adoption – Last Mile
The main components of Health IT Adoption – the Last Mile are connection, education and optimization.
- Connection will address the technical integration of EHRs and sub-state HIEs
with the statewide HIE backbone, to facilitate stages 1 through 3 of Meaningful Use.
- Education will be directed at providers, patients and consumers, to instruct
them on the benefits of using health IT for better health outcomes.
- Optimization will focus on ensuring that providers use the technology in an
effective manner - to maximize efficiency while delivering quality care to the patient
4
Connection
- MassHealth and the Health IT Coordinator will have responsibility for
- verseeing the efforts associated with the technical implementation of HIE
deployment across the Commonwealth.
- The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative will no longer have any
implementation responsibilities under the ONC Cooperative Agreement.
- MeHI will be solely responsible for ensuring that Last Mile activities are
implemented as planned.
- Elements of the Connection component are defined as:
- Assessment/Analysis
- Managed Vendor Selection/Service Provider Procurement
- Implementation
5
Education and Outreach
- Education, training and outreach are necessary to promote adoption of health
IT and to ensure support of statewide health care reform.
- The State will fully engage providers and patients to discover how the adoption
and optimization of health IT will be a catalyst for more effective and efficient healthcare delivery.
- MeHI will lead the Commonwealth in a statewide outreach, communication and
education campaign to: ‒ Target specific populations in the Commonwealth, with a multi-cultural and multi-lingual focus ‒ Leverage contractual relationships and partnerships with other
- rganizations/stakeholders
‒ Monitor the efficacy of social media and other MarCom efforts ‒ Address policy issues inhibiting HIT adoption.
6
Optimization
To optimize health IT adoption, Mass Technology Collaborative plans to
- Evaluate a practice’s efficiency and effectiveness in the use of health IT and
develop a path for improvement and effectiveness
- This process of improvement will be continuous, as technology and its
usefulness will be ever-evolving.
- Develop an evaluation process, based upon tools already developed by the
REC and State HIE programs, to:
- Determine how healthcare practices use health IT (EHR and HIE)
- Work with these practices to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
- Develop an annual Report Card for Health IT Adoption in MA
- The details of this report card will be defined in coordination with EOHHS, and
with input from other stakeholders, to align with the Implementation Advanced Planning Document (IAPD) performance benchmarks that will be provided regularly to CMS and ONC.
- Provide links to other information sources who measure effectiveness of
healthcare reform and resulting quality.
7
Execution
- Hospital information systems and electronic health record vendors report that
state HIEs tend to build central infrastructure assuming the endpoints will be able to connect to the HIE on their own.
- Most practices lack the technical capability and incentives to do this work, so
the value of the HIE is often not realized and sustainability is never achieved.
- Massachusetts intends to avoid this failed scenario by actively driving
connection and ensuring provider support via the Last Mile program, including:
- 1. Scope Definition
- 2. Readiness Assessment
- 3. System Integration Services
- 4. Oversight via a Last Mile Program Management Office
- 5. Education and Training
- 6. MeHI Staffing Support for Last Mile Services

WORKGROUPS: DELIVERABLES AND ROADMAP
12/12/2011
Work Group goals leading up to HIE “go live”
1. HIE Services will be designed, procured, deployed, and operated by the State Government (EOHHS/MassHealth) according to an already determined timeline a) The HIT Council is providing recommendations and advice to the State Government regarding the implementation and operations of State infrastructure b) The Advisory Committee is providing recommendations and advice to the HIT Council, informed by inputs from the Work Groups 2. In order to most efficiently and effectively provide recommendations to the State Government, Advisory Committee deliverables should aligned with key deliverables of the State’s HIE services activities 3. Work Group contributions to these Advisory Committee deliverables should be structured to have single Work Group accountability for a final deliverable, with key input from other Work Groups as appropriate a) Need lead Work Group to get the ball rolling and to synthesize cross-Work Group inputs into a final consensus document b) Lead Work Group produces final deliverable for Advisory Committee; Contributing Work Groups provide intermediate deliverables as inputs to the Lead Work Group 4. Statewide Policy Recommendations document distills and synthesizes individual WG inputs to serve as reference document and communication vehicle to stakeholders a) Created and updated separate from the activity-specific deliverables to capture “large P” policies and principles

Lead : Responsible for initiating deliverable, incorporating feedback from other workgroups, and creating final deliverable for AC and HIT Council approval. Support: Responsible for providing formal review/feedback to Lead WG
Next Steps
- Develop plan for incorporating recommendations on Last Mile Adoption
– Once SOP is approved and timelines are firmly established, can assign WG responsibilities – HIT Council has formal authority over Last Mile Adoption program, which may affect prioritization of AC and WG activities
- Refine WG-level project plans to meet Deliverables schedule
– Will likely require higher frequency of meetings/calls for all WGs
- Statewide Policy Recommendations
– Being developed in parallel as overarching document to capture high-level principles and recommendations agreed to across all WGs – Synthesizes and summarizes individual WG deliverables into a single document for future reference and communication to stakeholders – WG inputs on activities to date currently being synthesized and coordinated
