Meaningful Use and PH Informatics • Participate in national standards organizations such as HL7, LOINC, develop use cases, ballot standards, produce implementation guides, ONC S&I initiative • Develop use cases for Integrated Health Enterprise (IHE), emergency preparedness and response, immunizations, newborn screening, early hearing detection scheduled for HIMSS Connectethon 2011. • Develop Testing criteria for public health components of meaningful use for Certification • Develop education and other tools for Regional Extension Centers to advise and encourage providers to choose and implement public health meaningful use components 27 KALHD 6-19-12

Regional Extension Centers (RECs) • RECs were created last year under the HITECH Act, part of the ARRA Act of 2009.  HITECH provided approximately $2 billion in new programs to provide training and technical assistance and to demonstrate the effectiveness of health information technology in supporting improvement in care.  Under the HITECH Act, $677 million is allocated for the next two years to support a nationwide system of RECs. • KS REC- KS Foundation for Medical Care, Inc -(KFMC) is the federally designated HITREC for the state of Kansas. http://www.kfmc.org/rec/  Accelerate Health Information Technology (a-HIT) in Kansas! 
 KFMC’s services are designed to take your organization from its current state – whether you are starting with a paper-based system or just need to optimize your current EHR – to MU in order to qualify for the Medicare or Medicaid Incentives.  target their assistance to eligible primary care providers in smaller practices as well as small and rural hospitals and public health clinics.  will also serve as a resource for all providers in an area, giving assistance, as feasible, to any doctor, hospital or clinic making the request. 28 KALHD 6-19-12

Health Information Exchange (HIE) • Health information exchange (HIE) -transmission of healthcare- related data among facilities, health information organizations (HIO) and government agencies according to national standards. • The State Alliance for e-Health, 2006 NGA ONC-approved models:  Government-Led Electronic HIE : Direct government provision of the electronic HIE infrastructure and oversight of its use. (ME, VT)  Public Utility with Strong Government Oversight : Public sector serves an oversight role and regulates private-sector provision of electronic HIE. (TN, UT)  Private-Sector-Led Electronic HIE with Government Collaboration : Government collaborates and advises as a stakeholder in the private-sector provision of electronic HIE. ( DE, NE) 29 KALHD 6-19-12

Office of the National Coordinator- HIE Support • State Health Information (State HIE) Exchange Cooperative Agreement Program.  In total, 56 states, eligible territories, and qualified State Designated Entities (SDE) received awards. • The Beacon Community Cooperative Agreement Program  provides funding to 17 selected communities throughout the United States that have already made inroads in the development of secure, private, and accurate systems of electronic health record (EHR) adoption and health information exchange. Many include public health. 30 KALHD 6-19-12

Role of Public Health in Health Information Exchange (HIE) • Source of clinical and other health information on clients seen by public health, or on specimens tested by public health. • Source of information on emergent issues in a community that could assist a clinician in diagnostic and treatment decisions. • Source of population based analysis of individual disease data to provide improved trends to providers. • Recipient of reportable disease information. • Recipient of biosurveillance data reporting streams • Provider of expert knowledge in population health improvement, and in clinical and treatment guidelines.

IIS, Interoperability and Meaningful Use CDC releases (ARRA) Funding Enhancing the Interoperability of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Immunization Information Systems (IIS) 35 Grantees receive funding to develop interfaces between their IIS and provider EHR systems. 18 KALHD 6-19-12

KS WebIz Immunization Information System-IIS • KSWebIZ-the statewide immunization registry, is a web-based centralized birth to death database that maintains complete, accurate, and secure immunization records for all Kansas residents. • Various methods of connection are enabled:  Data entry via web interface into native application-ability to access all functionality on a record by record basis  Bi-directional access via KIPHS, Insight for LHDs  Uni-directional or bi-directional interface to selected provider EHRs- Office Practicum, for example.  Bi-directional interface to 14 FQHCs through KHIN (enabled by grant)  Developing one-off interfaces is time consuming, expensive  Providers now being encouraged to report via HIE- moratorium on further individual interface development 19 KALHD 6-19-12

KS WebIz Immunization Information System-IIS • Meaningful Use-Stage 1 • Some already connected providers have attested • Exclusion letter to postpone attestation without penalty is posted for use by all providers • Providers will benefit by reporting MU via HIE as standardized formats and use of appropriate standards will be supported • Reporting by MU eligible providers will be helpful but not sufficient by itself to greatly increase number of immunization records in KSWebIZ • Use of DIRECT not recommended for reporting to KSWebIZ  Not bidirectional  Will not support other KSWebIZ functions 20 KALHD 6-19-12

KS WebIz Immunization Information System-IIS • Provider Participation in KSWebIZ  No legislative requirement for providers to report  Provider participation is voluntary  Participation of an individual may be opted out even if provider is reporting • Potential impact of reporting via HIE  Reduce need for individual interfaces- HIE will parse and translate messages to send to KSWebIZ  Will support provider Meaningful Use reporting (if applicable)  Will increase the volume and accuracy of the immunization information  Will populate reports by county and zip code level for greater local immunization program support and community assessment • Future Issues  HIE is opt in or opt out- not selective opt out. May reduce IZ records which the patient does not otherwise object to  HIE may wish to support other IIS functions such as decision support, reminder recall instead of KDHE or  Providers might decide the MU reporting is enough and not use other functions  Incremental roll out of HIE may extend period of provider non-participation 21 KALHD 6-19-12

Lab Interface Improvement There is a lack of harmonized specifications standards and code sets to enable the exchange of lab results. The cost and time to initiate new electronic laboratory results interfaces hampers broad adoption of such interfaces. The field by field details of HL7 v2 implementation Challenge guides used by clinical labs and EHRs vary, creating a need for mapping or configuration per interface, and the prevalence of core subsets of LOINC codes for common tests and analyses also varies, causing downstream issues in decision support and quality reporting. Limited to address this challenge for the subset of lab reporting to primary care (internal medicine, Scope Statement family practice, pediatrics) • Achieve cost savings of up to 90% due to lab interface development improvements by 2015 Target Outcomes • Reduce total lab interface implementation time by up to 20% by 2013 Meaningful Use Incorporate lab results into EHR as structured data Alignment • EHR Lab Scenarios (ONC/AHIC) • Electronic Health Record (Laboratory Related Use • Laboratory sends lab results to ordering provider Cases/Stories Result Reporting) (ONC/AHIC) (NHIN Direct) 22 KALHD 6-19-12

Surveillance at KDHE • Moving to Epi-Trax from EDRS  Will be able to accept laboratory reports electronically- previous system required manual data entry • Currently testing Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR)  Exploring hospital labs, then reference labs  Providers do not perform ELR, only Hospitals 23 KALHD 6-19-12

Electronic Laboratory Records • More problems with lab standards, vocabulary, coding in KS and nationally  ONC working to get ELRs on board  No incentives to exchange  Some states piloting using Surescripts  Utility of DIRECT for lab results not known- KDHE looking at other states 24 KALHD 6-19-12

Electronic Laboratory Records • KHIN and LACIE certified to do business in KS • Currently in 30 day patient notification for July 1 start date. • HIEs are engaging partners themselves. • Some labs do not have the ability to exchange • LHDs want to get the results sooner but need to support the state infrastructure 25 KALHD 6-19-12

Syndromic Surveillance The overall adoption rate for syndromic surveillance is extremely low, yet meaningful use requirements demand an increased level of surveillance reporting. There is a direct need for a simplified way of reporting standardized data to appropriate public health authorities that will Challenge enable meaningful use requirements associated with surveillance to be fulfilled. It is debatable as to whether providers can meet existing and future surveillance requirements with the current implementation guidance available. Develop a syndromic surveillance service specification to be used by vendors to deploy a standardized syndromic surveillance service within their infrastructure Scope NOTE: This initiative would complement the work conducted by ISDS and CDC to develop Stage 1 Statement meaningful use recommendations for syndromic surveillance. The ISDS recommendations are available for public comment and review at : http://www.syndromic.org/uploads/files/ISDSRecommendation-PROVISIONAL_vFINAL.pdf • Increase syndromic surveillance reporting by 10% by 2013 Target • Increase syndromic surveillance data collection response times for at least 2 conditions by 20% Outcomes Meaningful Use Provide electronic syndromic surveillance data to public health agencies Alignment • Public Health Case Reporting (ONC/AHIC) • Laboratory reports test results for some Related Use • Hospital or provider send chief complaint data to specific conditions to public health (NHIN Cases/Stories public health (NHIN Direct) Direct) 26 KALHD 6-19-12

Syndromic Surveillance at KDHE • BioSense now in Open Source • KDHE participating at CDC • Working on decision support • Syndromic data reporting by providers • Information is available to LHDs, but seems to be of low value • Priority on Syndromic surveillance- an effect of Bioterrorism 27 KALHD 6-19-12

Role of HIE in Surveillance/ELR • Meaningful use reporting does not change the legal reporting requirements of notifiable diseases/events, etc. • KDHE will provide the infrastructure for MU reporting whether directly from LHDs, providers and hospitals or via the HIE. • KDHE is working with KHIN to establish the portals, security to interact with the HIE • The HIE will act to simplify provider reporting and make it more efficient which will increase the frequency and volume of reports and provide a more robust data base for state and local use. 28 KALHD 6-19-12

Other KDHE Data Assets • Population Health Data  KIC web tool based on MO system- updating to 2 nd generation  KS Health Matters- vendor supported  Vital Records • Analytical team • PH assessment- tied to county health assessment • Diabetes program track  Tracks eye exams using CDEMS based in provider offices • BRFS surveys  Health promotion  Awareness  Prenatal 29 KALHD 6-19-12

Other KDHE Data Assets • Medicaid now located in KDHE • Managed care being updated • KEES- New eligibility and enforcement system  Will provide EMPI capability • Challenges:  Managing core system roll out, testing and implementation  Working with timetable of KHIN deployment  Staff and budgetary issues  Competing priorities 30 KALHD 6-19-12

Public Health Role in HIE • KHIN- extensive information on website • KDHE Public Health Role in HIE  KDHE = public health infrastructure of HIE  Portals for bi-directional reporting for surveillance, immunizations  Support for meaningful use public health measures • LHD options for connecting  Point to point bidirectional to KDHE Portal(s)  Via interface to LHD system- KIPHS or Insight (FQHCs via interface with Success EDS)  Via Emdeon EHR Lite to HIE 31 KALHD 6-19-12

LHDs and KHIN 32 KALHD 6-19-12

LHD Challenges • KIPHS, Insight, Emdeon- choices to make- • Upgrade, replace, supplement • Which applications to move and with what priority • Resource constraints • Budgetary • Staff- skills, training, capacity • Leadership- commitment • Community partners • Priorities/ Strategic planning 33 KALHD 6-19-12

LHD Challenges • What is value proposition for your department to connect to KHIN? • Can you identify “Use cases”?  What is the “low hanging fruit” -  (note:- a critical success factor for the learning health system is “a galvanizing health concern”)  Smoking is still a problem in KS- (17% , 22 ND rank) • Who would be your community partners?  Are there any health coalitions- Izs, Diabetes, etc?  Do you have a Medical Home or Medical Neighborhood project in your jurisdiction? 34 KALHD 6-19-12
