The Challenge: Silos of Information

Silos of Information Electronic Medical Record System Jane Receives Health Department Data delivered to immunization registry Jane Receives Immunizations and other care (measurements, labs, diagnoses, Clinical Practice Data delivered to EMR Immunization Registry

Silos of Information Immunization Registry Electronic Medical Record System Registry Web Interface EMR Interface ???????????

INPC - Humble Beginnings  Regenstrief tasked in 1972 to “stitch” these silos of information together -> the Regenstrief Medical Record System (RMRS/Wishard)  In 1994, began stitching together information across institutions (INPC/Indianapolis)  In 2003, working towards stitching the state together (INPC/Indiana)

INPC System Design  Separate medical record vault per institution  Each vault in separate physical files, but centrally located  Standardized data structure – All use same software and observation codes  Patient demographics linking via global registry  Combine on the fly when needed

INPC – Participants  Includes 17 hospitals from the 5 major Indianapolis hospital systems (95% of non- office care)  National and regional laboratories  Includes county and state public health departments  35% of outpatient practices  Both major cardiology referral centers  Four homeless care centers

INPC hospital participants Health Department Practice/Clinic Hospital LabCorp Quest MCHD Rx data In progress Heart Center of Indiana The Indiana Heart Hospital

A “Big” Repository by US Standards  In the system: -1.3 million patients, 5 million registration “events” -24 million orders -660 million coded results -12 million dictated reports -8.8 million radiology reports -25 million prescriptions -480,000 EKG tracings -45 million radiology images  Added Per Year: -600,000 ambulatory encounters -50,000 inpatient encounters

Docs4Docs - Links to office practices  Results delivery service (Docs4Docs)  Results flow through INPC central to Docs4Docs and are routed to MD in-boxes  All hospitals send reports through same mechanism  Improved office efficiency and convenience  Eliminates mail and (almost) fax costs

Current status  280 practices from 3 Hospital systems (about 1800 MDs)  Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE) is Regenstrief’s corporate partner  Scheduled for whole city by end of 2005 through IHIE  Uses same data streams as structured EMR – but simpler structure  Will provide links to all MDs for other purposes
