Overview Brief Review of Meaningful Use (MU) and the Immunization Requirements NYC IIS: Citywide Immunization Registry NYC Process NYC Participants and Progress to Date

Brief Review of Meaningful Use and the Immunization Requirements

Background: Meaningful Use In July 2010, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) published final rules for Meaningful Use Stage I Authorized incentive payments to healthcare providers and hospitals that demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health records (EHRs) One objective of Meaningful Use is the use of an EHR system to report to the state/local immunization registry

Immunization Registry Objective & Measure (Stage 1) CMS Objective “Capability to submit electronic data to immunization registries or Immunization Information Systems and actual submission in accordance with applicable law and practice.” Measure “Performed at least one test of certified EHR technology's capacity to submit electronic data to immunization registries and follow up submission if the test is successful (unless none of the immunization registries to which the EP, eligible hospital or CAH submits such information have the capacity to receive the information electronically).”

Immunization Objective & Measure Not mandatory--one of three Public Health measures Information must be sent in HL7 format (version 2.3.1 or 2.5.1) in order to satisfy MU requirements

NYC IIS: Citywide Immunization Registry (CIR)

Benefits of the CIR to Clinicians Consolidated Immunization Histories 4.4 million patient records 51+ million immunization records 1,815 active provider sites Clinical Decision Support Evaluations (e.g., was the immunization valid?) Recommendations (e.g., when is next dose due?) Updated for new vaccines, changing guidelines

Benefits of Interoperability to Clinicians Allows clinicians to send and receive immunization data without leaving their EHR Eliminates double data entry Delivers decision support Reduces missed opportunities and extra immunizations Improves practice coverage rates In NYC, 805 provider sites are currently using EHRs, covering 455,000 children < 6 years of age

CIR’s Interoperability Technology: SOAP Web Service Simple Object Access Protocol—information transport method Ease of integration with EHRs using Microsoft’s .NET framework or Java Free, Open Source Apache Axis (web service infrastructure) fits with other NYC CIR technologies (ex. online registry) Recent vote by CDC expert panel selected SOAP as the recommended standard for immunization data exchange

NYC Process

CIR HL7 Web Service and MU timeline = 1 vendor July 2010 CMS announces MU final rule July 2009 Columbia Presbyterian begins querying 2009 2010 2011 Each red block represents a vendor or large NYC hospital that began working with us to connect to the web service. I only labeled the ones that we mentioned as the “major players” either because they have a lot of sites or they are one of the REC preferred vendors. I put all the vendor stuff on the top of the timeline, and all the other relevant dates below. I’m not sure if this makes it clearer… Jun 2009 HL7 web service implemented Sep 2010 CIR awarded ARRA CDC Interoperability Grant Today

Implementation Process Send CIR HL7 integration guide and implementation checklist to vendor Development, regular conference calls Timeline varies from 2-6 months, depending on vendor capacity Testing and Quality Assurance with Enhanced QA tool 30 days of real patient data Certification Roll-out Ongoing Data Monitoring (Enhanced QA Tool)

Encourage EHR Vendors to: Include important fields —e.g. VFC eligibility, vaccine manufacturer, lot number Validate messages before sending to CIR Develop an effective error handling process that is convenient for the provider

Testing Process EHR vendors send one month of real patient data to web service test environment from pilot site CIR staff use Enhanced QA tool to: Search for messages coming from a particular facility Quantify the number of successful, partially successful, and failed messages, and identify common errors List messages for each statistic List parsed field values for each message Display errors and warnings at field level Vendors repeat test with new data until all issues have been resolved

NYC Participants: Progress to Date

Work with Regional Extension Center (NYC REACH) NYC REACH has four preferred vendors/meaningful use partners: eCW, MDLand, Greenway and NextGen Have contractual obligations to develop bi-directional communication with CIR Input from all three parties on development decisions, design document

Market Share of EHR Vendors Among CIR Providers 15 sites 158 sites 52 sites 405 sites 26 sites 100 sites 49 sites N=805 provider sites with EHRs (out of 1,815 CIR providers)

Successes 19 providers in production for bi-directional communication thus far; 22,910 VXU (immunization report) messages received 26 sites (Columbia Presbyterian) in production for query messages only, in final testing phase for reporting 26 EHR vendors working to connect to the web service- one currently in production Involvement of most large hospital networks NYC schools developing capability to query CIR

Challenges Resistance on the part of EHR vendors to develop bi-directional communication Some resistance to developing a web service interface Limited leverage to keep vendors to a timeline Multiple hospitals may be using the same EHR vendor, but have different development teams, different development requirements Working with small vendors with few provider sites

Next Steps By August 2011: 200 sites interoperable Complete testing with: Columbia Presbyterian (for reporting) eCW MDLand Quadramed Allscripts Measure increases in reporting volume, timeliness, completeness, and coverage as more sites connect
