MEANINGFUL USE
 

 

Slide 2

THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY, VERY, VERY MESSY

  • In 1901, there were 2,000,000 phone users in the US
  • Cumulative public and private investment was $500M, or $13B in 2009 dollars (about $6500 per user)
  • Networks were operated by:
    • AT&T: ~1.3m
    • Independent networks: ~700k
  • Number of independent networks: 2,811

 

Slide 3

RECOVERY ACT FUNDING FLOWS

 

Slide 4

WHY DO SO MANY PHYSICIANS OFFICES LOOK LIKE THIS?

  • Courier just dropped off more envelopes
  • Prescription refill request on fax machine (Right behind the joke of the day)
  • Unopened mail
  • Printer with results from one lab
  • "Hey Sally! Where is Mrs. Jones x-ray?"
  • Unsorted results
  • About to ring with stat results
  • Web portal (from one hospital)

 

Slide 5

THE EHR MARKET IS MOVING, SLOWLY, BUT ALSO CREATING A DIGITAL DIVIDE IN THE PROCESS

HEALTH IT SPENDING IN ARRA

$45B - Direct payments to individual providers
$2B - Various studies and reports
Health information exchanges
Regional health IT resource center
Regional health IT extension centers
State implementation and planning grants
EHR loan funds
NIST certication infrastructure
$47B - TOTAL
 

 

Slide 7

US GOV'T EXPECTING TO GET 50% PAYBACK ON ARRA HEALTH IT INVESTMENTS


 

Slide 8

MEANINGFUL USE DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN, IT GETS DONE

Illustrative EHR Implementation Value Chain

Overall project management
Vendor contracting and management Readiness assessment & planning Practice transformation & workflow planning System deployment & Implementation Reporting, decision support, and performance measurement Inter-operating with internal and external systems Post- implementation support

Gaps at any point along the way will kill adoption
 

Slide 9

PAYMENTS MAY NOT COVER THE OUTLAYS AT AN INDIVIDUAL PHYSICIAN-LEVEL

Year Physician cost ($K) Medicare incentive ($K)
2009 -30 --
2010 -5 --
2011 -5 +18
2012 -5 +12
2013 -5 +8
2014 -10 +4
2015 -5 +2

Net gap:
-$21K

 

Slide 10

MEANINGFUL USE INTEROPERABILITY REQUIREMENTS COULD PUSH THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY TOWARD HIE

Meaningful Use objectives requiring health exchange  
2011
  • Lab results delivery
  • Prescribing
  • Claims and eligibility checking
  • Quality & immunization reporting, if available

Increases volume of transactions that are most commonly happening today

  • Lab to provider
  • Provider to pharmacy
 
2013
  • Registry reporting and reporting to public health
  • Electronic ordering
  • Health summaries for continuity of care
  • Receive public health alerts
  • Home monitoring
  • Populate PHRs

Substantially steps up exchange

  • Provider to lab
  • Pharmacy to provider
  • Office to hospital & vice versa
  • Office to office
  • Hospital/office to public health & vice versa
  • Hospital to patient
  • Office to patient & vice versa
  • Hospital/office to reporting entities
 
2015
  • Access comprehensive data from all available sources
  • Experience of care reporting
  • Medical device interoperability

Starts to envision routine availability of relatively rich exchange transactions

  • “Anyone to anyone”
  • Patient to reporting entities
