Agenda Background  Current state  Stage 1 lessons learned Stage 2 Meaningful Use  Hospital/CAH  Eligible Professional (EP) Certification Looking Ahead

Update On EHR Incentive Programs Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive program registrations: –3,247 Hospitals –About 188,400 Physicians/EPs A growing number, but still small share, have been paid for meeting meaningful use requirements –712 Hospitals (40 CAH) –22,937 Physicians 43 states have opened Medicaid programs Data from CMS, as of January 2012

Most, but not all, states have now established Medicaid EHR incentive programs Red = Made Payments (34); Blue = Accepting Registrations (9) Data from CMS as of January 2012

Cost In 2010, the average capital IT expense per bed was over $12,000, while the average IT operating expense was over $45,000. Together, hospitals are spending $57,000 a year per bed on IT. For a 200-bed hospital, that would translate to over $11.4 million per year.

The Bottom Line Stage 1 = Getting it started Stage 2 = Getting it right

Option 1a – Linked to National Quality Strategy 83 new measures 42 measures from Stage 1 1. Menu of 125 Measures available for Stage 2 2. EPs must choose 12 measures to report, with at least one from each of six domains Efficiency Patient and Family Engagement Clinical Processes Care Coordina- tion Patient Safety Population/ Public Health

Certification Overview Certification distorts the EHR market and raises costs. Requiring health care providers to purchase certified products (or certify their self-developed systems) fundamentally changes the market dynamics in favor of the vendor.

Certification Round #1 CMS proposes 49 measures for hospitals and 125 measures for EPs Vendors must demonstrate a single CQM can be calculated CMS requires one measure from six different quality domains

Certification Round #2 CMS proposes submission of patient-level or aggregate CQM data EHRs are not required to calculate CQMs in any specific format
