Introduction »The HIE project »Washington State DOH, CDC, INHS »This presentation Public Health’s role in Health Information Exchange (HIE) Meaningful Use and Public Health The scenarios demonstrated in the Interoperability Showcase Case Reporting and Decision Support Biosurveillance Immunization »Meaningful use as dem onstrated in these scenarios 4HIMSS 2010

Public Health – 10 Essential Services 5HIMSS Monitor 2. Diagnose and investigate 3. Inform, educate 4. Mobilize 5. Develop policies and plans 6. Enforce 7. Link 8. Assure 9. Evaluate 10. Research

Meaningful Use Through provisions of ARRA there will be incentives for “meaningful use” Meaningful use of EHR technology will improve health care quality, efficiency and patient safety. 6HIMSS 2010

Public Health and Meaningful Use 7HIMSS 2010 How can public health leverage electronic information? Many of the meaningful use criteria are related to public health functions These demos show examples of how public health can leverage electronic information

Population and Public Health Scenarios Demonstrated Case Reporting and Decision Support HIMSS Biosurveillance Immunization

Case Reporting and Decision Support 10HIMSS 2010 »The story - Patient with influenza-like-illness visits provider, case is reported to public health, decision support is offered »Standards used (RFD, CCD, Xforms) »Facilitates communication between PH and provider »Meaningful use Record demographics, medications, vital signs Capability to provide electronic submission of reportable lab to public health agencies Implement clinical decision support rules

Case Reporting and Decision Support For 2011 MU requirements limited to electronic submission of reportable lab results to public health agencies By 2013 and 2015 will include more interactive public health alerts and ultimately more sophisticated epidemiological uses of the data including automated real-time adverse event reporting, disease outbreaks, and bioterrorism response. Bi-directional communication (Brian Dixon from Regenstrief will present on this in detail - 12:30 Tuesday) HIMSS

Population and Public Health Scenarios Demonstrated Case Reporting and Decision Support HIMSS Biosurveillance Immunization

Biosurveillance 13HIMSS 2010 The story – patient with ILI symptoms visits PCP, lab is ordered and results recorded in the HIE’s registry and repository The standards used (XDS document sharing) PH query developed to identification of results of interest to public health Meaningful use – Capability to provide electronic syndromic surveillance data to public health agencies and actual transmission according to applicable law and practice. – Electronically record, store, receive and manage laboratory orders

18HIMSS 2010 »The Story A parent accesses her child’s immunization record using a PHR, and sees the same data as the PCP The Immunization Information System (IIS/Registry) is updated when messages from EHR systems are sent to the HIE registry repository, and are transformed to HL7 2.X messages Public health accesses the IIS for individual and population views of the data »The standards and profiles used Cross Enterprise Document Sharing (Immunization Content) Patient Demographic Query

Immunization – Meaningful Use Meaningful Use »Improve Population & Public Health Capability to submit electronic data to immunization registries and actual submission where required and accepted Demonstrates two types of immunization content submission to IIS ( HL7 2.5 and XDS-MS, IC ) »Engage patients and families in their health care Provide patients with electronic copies of their health information »Improve Care Coordination Capability to exchange key clinical information HIMSS

Demonstrating Meaningful use of EHR Often more than one way to satisfy these criteria depending on states Important to examine the way work is done now and how workflow will change if these data are made available Public Health systems designed to leverage EHR data will also need to comply with standards We have learned much and continue to learn from our demonstration and pilot projects in Washington State HIMSS

Gateway Services (PHR) Health Information Exchange - IHE Infrastructure Immunization Information System (IIS) Immunization Infrastructure Public Health Immunization Scenario Yellow Card Service Immunization Gateway The child is now getting ready to enter school. The parent double checks the immunization record to make sure the child is up-to-date. Parent uses the Immunization Gateway immunization services. Parent views the child’s records and sees that one shot is missing. 1. PHR A parent is preparing to go to a Primary Care Provider for a well-child visit. The parent views the child’s current immunizations using a Personal Health Record, which retrieves the information from the Health Information Exchange (HIE) using IHE’s XDS profile. In a rush, the parent makes an appointment for the child at a different clinic. The EHR queries the HIE using IHE’s XDS profile. The EHR retrieves the same immunization data the parent saw via PHR. The provider reviews the immunizations and administers vaccines. The provider enters the new immunizations into his EHR. EMR updates the HIE using IHE’s XDS, and simultaneously, updates the immunization registry (IIS) using HL7 Version Primary Care Provider 5. Schools and Public Health Predictions of an especially severe flu season cause the child’s school to implement a school located vaccination program School nurse accesses the child’s record in the IIS School nurse administers H1N1 vaccine and updates the IIS HIE and IIS are updated with the new immunization Population View of immunization data - Epidemiologist views individual or population-level immunization data. Immunization Decision Support Service The 5-year-old patient and the parent visit the provider, who uses an EHR system. The EHR queries the HIE using IHE’s XDS profile. The EHR retrieves the same immunization data the parent saw via PHR. The provider reviews the immunizations and administers vaccines. The provider enters the new immunizations into his EHR. EMR updates the HIE using IHE’s XDS, and simultaneously, updates the immunization registry (IIS) using HL7 Version Primary Care Provider HIMSS
