3 Healthcare in America Is a Behemoth Caregivers Organized care-delivery entities Local / State / National authorities Health Services (e.g. – freestanding labs) Public health surveillance Medical research Regional / socioeconomic care disparities Payers Employers Pharmaceutical industry HIT – vendors, infrastructure, integration, solutions, tools Electronic and paper-based information workflow Regional information sharing groups Standards & Interoperability groups

4 Understanding The Equations Patients / Consumers + Healthcare System =x x Good Outcomes Bad Outcomes = Electronic Information Paper-based Information + Patients / Consumers Healthcare System

5 Understanding The Equations=x x Good Outcomes Bad Outcomes Electronic Information Paper-based Information

6 Current National Landscape Standards Silo Interoperability Multi- stakeholder Interoperability Community Data Sharing Public Health

7 The President’s Vision Medical information follows the consumer so they are at the center of their care Consumers choose physicians and hospitals based on clinical performance results Clinicians have complete patient history, computerized ordering and electronic reminders Quality initiatives measure performance and drive quality-based competition Public health and bioterrorism surveillance are seamlessly integrated into care Clinical research is accelerated and post-marketing surveillance expanded

8 July 21, 2004 Strategic Framework Goal 1: Inform Clinical Practice –Incentivize Electronic Health Record (EHR) adoption –Reduce risk of EHR investment –Promote EHR diffusion in rural and underserved areas Goal 2: Interconnect Clinicians –Foster regional collaborations –Develop a national health information network –Coordinate federal health information systems Goal 3: Personalize Care –Encourage use of Personal Health Records (PHR) –Enhance informed consumer choice –Promote use of tele-health systems Goal 4: Improve Population Health –Unify public health surveillance architectures –Streamline quality and health status monitoring –Accelerate research and dissemination of evidence into practice

9 Envisioned National Landscape Community Data Sharing ala “RHIOs / a NHIN” Multi- community Interoperability ala a “NHIN” Standards codified in a “NHIN” Public Health utilizing a “NHIN” Incentives

10 Interoperability Considerations Technology Application Information / Data Business Technology Application Information / Data Business workflow integration competition suppression policy/statutory satisfaction interface accommodation operational feasibility switching costs & general economic feasibility assurance of success syntactic equivalence semantic equivalence data matching & integration underlying data generation function (context) custodial responsibilities (e.g. – privacy & security) functional synergy forward / backward compatibility innovation accommodation enterprise compatibility maintainability scalability / capacity upgrade strategy service levels

11 RFI – Overview Purpose: Obtain comments on how best to build, operate, and sustain the concept of a National Health Information Network for widespread interoperability and health information exchange. Questions: 24 questions in six categories: –General –Organization & Business Framework –Management & Operational Considerations –Standards & Policies to Achieve Interoperability –Financial, Regulatory Incentives & Legal Considerations –Others-Technical Architecture Response: Over 500 responses from all quarters of industry, and more than 15 federal agencies desiring to participate in analysis

12 Our Focus: The Electronic Health Record (EHR) Orchestrated Data Exchange Incentivized Adoption Good Outcomes Certified EHR Harmonized Standards Standards Other medical data (e.g. – medical devices)

13 EHRs There is no accepted definition of EHR software that informs buyers of what functionality should be expected There is little ability to switch vendors once a product has been selected Products across vendors are largely unable to exchange information

14 Certified EHRs A minimum functional set defines a baseline product Certification ensures interoperability through a NHIN Consumers have a pre- qualified set of vendors to consider for patronage Vendors may capitalize on interoperability features in products based on minimal product definition Certified EHR

15 Standards Various standards authorities are publishing standards for different elements of healthcare Adoption is varied, with vendors pledging support, but often falling short of real utility Niche market has developed in systems integration due to inconsistent implementation of standards, or disregard of them The business case for incurring switching costs is often muddled at best: short-term narrow objectives are enemy of long-term, broad interoperability goals Standard 1Standard 2

16 Harmonized Standards Appropriate and mature standards used for healthcare use cases Gaps in standards filled in by qualified groups Overlapping standards resolved by market appropriateness and resolution expressed in certification Standards

17 Data Exchange There is a recognition that standards are necessary but insufficient for interoperability There are few examples of working multi-enterprise, multi- organization data exchange models, though interest is high –There is no dominant design Several in-house debates have arisen and slowed progress on a unifying strategy (e.g., central data storage, universal identifiers) Enterprise variations in areas like security pose challenges to migration to unified operational models

18 Orchestrated Data Exchange Information flow via a nationwide health information network Product certification that includes interoperability through a NHIN Implementation and testing coordinated on a local level

19 Migration to Interoperability Vendors SDOs RHIOs Health Enterprises Harmonized Standards Standards Orchestrated Data Exchange Certified EHR NC = National Coordination NC

20 Migration to Interoperability Vendors SDOs RHIOs Health Enterprises Harmonized Standards Standards Orchestrated Data Exchange Certified EHR NC = National Coordination NC

21 Migration to Interoperability Vendors SDOs RHIOs Health Enterprises Harmonized Standards Standards Orchestrated Data Exchange Certified EHR NC = National Coordination

22 Major Tenets Public / Private ownership of the problem and the solution Leverage federal buying power, employment power, and market power to bring about change Take advantage of best practices and build upon existing foundations Focus on actions, decisions, and measurable forward progress
