HealtheNet & My Health Record benefits realisation in Opt-Out trial site Nepean Blue Mountains Jo-Anna Wood Change & Adoption Manager eHealth NSW Introduction ________________________________________________________________________
Introduction
________________________________________________________________________
- In October 2015, the Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District
(NBMLHD) was selected as one of two sites to trial the automatic creation
- f My Health Records for all residents. The trial commenced in March 2016
and finished on 31 October 2016
- The trial set NBMLHD on the path to embedding the process of viewing the
NSW HealtheNet Clinical Portal and My Health Record into clinical workflows
- More work to be done to drive uptake and adoption across all clinical
groups and sustain the use of these systems as part of clinical practice
- This presentation will cover lessons learned and present clinical case
studies that outline how HealtheNet and My Health Record information is being used successfully in practice, such as by hospital pharmacists and clinicians on the wards for medication reconciliation
Introduction
________________________________________________________________________
- In the Nepean Blue Mountains region 98% of patients have an eHealth
record due to less than 2% ‘opting-out’
- Clinicians view a patient’s My Health Record information through the
HealtheNet Clinical Portal, via their EMR
- HealtheNet shares a patient’s hospital discharge summary with their My
Health Record, unless the patient requests that their discharge summary is not shared with their My Health Record on admission (or throughout their stay)
- Adoption increasing as the number of documents in the system grows,
which recently expand to include pathology results
- We are now seeing patients with over 100 ‘documents’ in their combined
My Health Record and HealtheNet record
HealtheNet
________________________________________________________________________ Better information results in better patient care HealtheNet helps to improve communication between hospitals, community and private healthcare settings by sharing patient information electronically and securely with:
- Doctors, nurses and allied health providers across all NSW Health
Local Health Districts and Specialty Health Networks through the HealtheNet Clinical Portal
- General Practitioners (GPs) by sending discharge summaries directly
to a patient's nominated GP using secure electronic messaging
- Patients and their care team by sharing clinical documents with a
patient's My Health Record

How is HealtheNet and My Health Record used in practice (as pharmacists)?
- As an additional resource for medication history/reconciliation
- Useful screening tool for unusual/omitted medications to prompt further
investigation
- Useful for identifying regular pharmacy/GP/Medical Specialist
- Can indicate level of compliance through dispensing history

- Adverse Reactions
- Medications
- Medical History
- Immunisations
Prescription records
Dispense records

Benefits Realisation Pilot
- The benefits realisation pilot partnered with clinicians and together we have
identified key benefits of the (combined) systems
- We are now starting to track and measure these benefits
- The benefits are measured through either quantifiable data
- E.g. how many discharged patients had a discharge summary sent to
HealtheNet, their GP and My Health Record?
- Via case studies and stories such as asking clinicians "how much time was
saved by having access to other LHDs discharge summaries?" or "how do you use HealtheNet to support your medication reconciliation processes?
Benefits Realisation Pilot Approach
- Workshop 1: 5 key stakeholders
- Workshop 2: 30 key stakeholders including executive, health information
managers and medical records, administration managers, clinicians (Head of Renal Medicine and Head of ENT Surgery, ED Nurse Unit Manager etc)
- Presentations and in-services conducted to over 500 clinicians between
December 2016 and April 2017
- Developed relationships with key clinical groups such as pharmacists,
NUMs and junior doctors who were keen to embrace the technology
Benefits
HealtheNet Benefits – validated and prioritised by NBMLHD stakeholders on 30/3/17
- 1. Enhance integrated care by improved information sharing with primary care
- All GPs to receive an electronic discharge summary directly as well as it being sent
to My Health Record
- 2. Access to patient information contained in record on presentation to ED
- Increased viewing of HealtheNet and My Health Record for medical history, allergies
and current medications on presentation to ED
- 3a. Provide an aggregated source of relevant patient information
- Increase the number of times HealtheNet is viewed for every patient, on first
contact/encounter, across all specialties
- b. Viewing of diagnostic images
- Increased use of the imaging portal, particularly in Outpatient Services
- c. Viewing of pathology information
- Increased viewing of pathology results in HealtheNet
Benefits
HealtheNet Benefits – validated and prioritised by NBMLHD stakeholders on 30/3/17
- 4. Access to and visibility of patient medication information
- Increased viewing of record for medication reconciliation purposes on admission
and throughout patient stay.
- 5. 24/7 real-time access to past results (medications, radiology, pathology, discharge
summaries from other LHDs)
- Reduced time spent searching for information from other LHDs/labs, and reducing
time spent waiting for information to arrive (a fax, paper record, GP clinic to open)
- 6. Improved patient engagement and involvement in their healthcare
- Improve patient awareness and use of their My Health Record through viewing
information and entering OTC medicines, allergies and ACD.
- 7. Improved handover and continuity of care between acute and primary care settings
- Increased GP contribution to and viewing of the record – SHS & Prescribe uploads,
viewing DS & pathology info.
- Increased viewing by community pharmacy and other providers (dentistry,
specialists etc)

Examples in Practice– Blue Mountains Hospital
________________________________________________________________________
77yo female admitted to Blue Mountains ED for worsening heart failure eGFR 70mL/min. BSL 20.6. PMHx of diabetes - only Linagliptin charted on admission. Medication History (in relation to diabetes) Investigated using HealtheNet & My Health Record:
- GP Shared Health Summary contained Lantus and Linagliptin - both
medications dispensed
- GP prescription for Gliclazide MR 30mg BD (no record of dispensing)
Issues: documentation, issues with management of diabetes, patient compliance Benefits of eHealth: ability to track multiple behaviours over time (i.e. multiple doctors and patient)
Examples in Practice – Nepean
________________________________________________________________________
- Pt 1: Norspan (Buprenorphine) Patch removed on admission
(not documented)
- Pt describes increasing pain over following days, requiring ↑ pain relief.
- HealtheNet & My Health Record used to discover/confirm patient usually on
Norspan 10microg/hr Patch.
- Pt 2: Charted for Stelazine (Trifluoperazine) 25mg daily on
admission
- Unusual dose, no clear indication, pt presented with fall.
- HealtheNet & My Health Record used to confirm pt dispensed 5mg tablets
- Further investigated, usually dose 5mg BD
- Pt 3: Presents from Nursing Home with Hx of AF, no relevant
medications, but INR 1.8 on admission
- HealtheNet & My Health Record used to confirm pt on Warfarin.
- Confirmed with NH, warfarin on separate chart which was not faxed/lost on
admission.

Benefits of HealtheNet & My Health Record data:
- Additional source of accurate patient medical information
- Available 24 hours
Current Limitations of the data:
- Incomplete records – some of the data e.g. dispense records may be missing if a
retail Pharmacy doesn’t contribute
- There is some latency in Medicare data which means it may not be up to date
- Some medication changes occur verbally
- GP Shared Health Summary may not be up to date e.g. changes since record was
created
- Discharge summaries can be incomplete or inaccurate
- The system doesn’t track patient compliance accurately but is suggestive
- Not all medications included or traceable i.e. over the counter/complimentary
medications
Use on the wards - Nepean Hospital
Utilised HealtheNet and My Health Record as a way of double checking what scripts a patient had filled and what medications they are on. Example 65 year old gentleman on multiple medications, admitted to respiratory ward for infective exacerbation of COPD.
- He was unsure of the exact doses of medications and his wife was unable to
bring in his medications that day
- Used the system to ascertain exactly what scripts he had filled to help chart his
correct medications Kate Sandy Resident Nepean Hospital
