Overview of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Implications for Health Care Research Centers and National Architecture for HIE John Glaser, PhD Senior Advisor Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology September 16, 2009

President Obama’s First Weekly Address Saturday, January 24th, 2009 “ To lower health care cost, cut medical errors, and improve care, we ’ ll computerize the nation ’ s health records in five years, saving billions of dollars in health care costs and countless lives. ”

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)

Envisioning a “Tipping Point” -- Health IT as an Enabler TIME Transformational Change in Health Care Delivery & Population Health Technology Adoption ?

% 50% Size of Practice > 50 physicians Percentage physicians DesRoches CM et al., N Engl J Med 2008;359: % 13% Level of EHR Function Fully Functional Basic System Percentage EHR Adoption: Where are we now in Office Practices?

Adoption in Hospitals By panel definition: –1.5% have comprehensive system –10.9% have basic system –Installed across major clinical units Jha et al. NEJM 2009

An Overview of the National Strategy AdoptionMeaningful UseOutcomes Meaningful Use definition and incentives EHR certification criteria and process Data, exchange, and quality measure standards and process Privacy and security standards, practices and policies Provider implementation support (extension centers) Exchange implementation support (State HIE/NHIN) Workforce development Structure Implement

Federal Advisory Committees Policy Committee –Meaningful use –Certification and adoption –Health information exchange Standards Committee –Quality measurement –Clinical operations –Privacy and security

HIT-Enabled Health Reform Meaningful Use Criteria HITECH Policies 2011 Meaningful Use Criteria (Capture/share data) 2013 Meaningful Use Criteria (Advanced care processes with decision support) 2015 Meaningful Use Criteria (Improved Outcomes) Meaningful Use is Being Defined and Will Follow an “Ascension Path” Over Time* *Report of sub-committee of Health IT Policy Committee

Phasing of MU Criteria Enable health reform Focus on health outcomes, not software Feasibility –Balance urgency of health reform with calendar time needed to implement HIT –Starting from low adoption rate –Sensitive to under-resourced practices (e.g, small practices, community health centers, rural settings) –But also, HIT essential to achieving health reform in all settings Recovery Act provisions –Timelines fixed (2015, ) –Funding rules defined (front-loaded incentives)

Example of Policy Committee Recommendations for the Definition of Meaningful Use

Meaningful Use Incentives by Adoption Year Meaningful User Total Incentive 2011$ 18,000$ 12,000$ 8,000$ 4,000$ 2,000$ 44, $ 18,000$ 12,000$ 8,000$ 4,000$ 2,000$ 44, $ 15,000$ 12,000$ 8,000$ 4,000$39, $ 12,000$ 8,000$ 4,000$ 24, $ Penalties

Certification Recommendations 1.Focus Certification on Meaningful Use 2.Leverage Certification process to improve progress on Security, Privacy, and Interoperability 3.Improve objectivity and transparency of the certification process 4.Expand Certification to include a range of software sources: Open source, self-developed, etc. 5.Develop a Short-Term Certification Transition plan

Summary of Content Exchange Recommendations Primary content exchange standards: –Structured electronic documents: HL7 v.3 CDA, e.g., relevant CDA profile for consultation notes, or CCD for summary records –Clinical messaging: HL7 v.2.5.1, e.g., encounter, or lab results –Immunization queries and vaccination updates (only): HL7 v –Prescriptions: NCPDP Script v.10.x (ambulatory) and HL7 v (inpatient) –Eligibility, benefits, and referrals: ASC X12 v.4010A1, NCPDP Script v.5.1 and CAQH CORE Phase I and Phase II –Quality measure reporting: CMS PQRI Registry XML Specification

Summary of Vocabulary Recommendations Primary vocabulary standards: –Clinical problems and procedures: SNOMED CT –Drugs and Medication Allergies: RxNorm –Ingredient allergies: UNII –Laboratory tests: LOINC –Units of measure: UCUM –Administrative terminology: ASC X12 and NCPDP Script

16 Grant Programs in HITECH HHS Secretary Shall Establish Programs of: –Implementation assistance (Extension Program) –Grants to states to promote health IT (emphasizing health information exchange) –Education: building health IT workforce HHS Secretary May Establish Programs of: –Grants to states and tribes for loan programs –Education of health professionals Program of Enterprise Integration Centers shall be established through the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Health Information Technology Extension Centers Provide Critical Assistance Regional Centers will offer technical assistance, guidance and information on best practices to support and accelerate health care providers’ efforts to become meaningful users of electronic health records Priority service recipients: –Public or not for profit hospitals or critical access hospitals –Federally qualified health centers –Entities in rural and other areas that serve uninsured, underinsured, and medically underserved individuals –Individual and small group primary care practices

Health Information Technology Extension Centers Provide Critical Assistance Each center to serve an identified region; an estimated 70 centers nationally Per statute, regional centers shall be affiliated non-profit organization or group thereof Preference to proposals identifying viable source of cost- sharing funds, and those demonstrating multi- stakeholder involvement Two-year funding awards anticipated in early 2010 A Health Information Technology Research Center (HITRC) will be established to gather information on best practices and assist collaboration between extension centers

State Health Information Exchange Programs Assist states and state designated entities in developing and advancing mechanisms for information sharing across the health care system Programs are ancicipated to: –Develop and implement HIE privacy and security requirements –Develop interoperability directories and technical services –Coordinate with Medicaid and state public health programs –Remove HIE barriers –Ensure effective HIE governance and accountability –Convene health care stakeholders to develop trust in and support for HIE efforts

Key Privacy Provisions Expanding the HIPAA privacy and security rules to cover new e-health entities such as health information exchanges Adding a breach notification requirement for covered entities, business associates and personal health record vendors Along with other strengthening of enforcement provisions ARRA provides sate attorneys general with the power to enforce HIPAA HIPAA still continues to set a privacy floor for states

Be on the Lookout For CMS NPRM on meaningful use (12/09) ONC IFR on standards and certification criteria (12/09) ONC NPRM on the certification process (12/09)

Implications for Health Care Research Centers

What is the National Health Information Network? Governance Data, exchange and security standards Contractual agreements Small set of software-based services, e.g., authentication Demonstrations of advanced capabilities, e.g., consent tracking

Conclusions Interoperable electronic health records are a critical contributor to our collective efforts to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of care HITECH represents an extraordinary infusion of resources into this effort We will undergo a major transformation of the healthcare information technology landscape The states play a very important role in achieving this ambitious agenda
