Kevin W. Ryan JD, MA Associate Director – ACHI Assistant Professor – UAMS COPH Rural TeleCon ’06 10th Annual Conference of the Rural Telecommunications Congress

The coming tsunami of electronic health information exchange – important dates EHR to be widespread 2009 – e-prescribing required by MMA 2006 – ?

Where are we today in 2006? EHR usage study shows slow progress toward Bush’s 2014 goal – Healthcare IT News <10% of physicians employee an EHR system that benefits patient care <5% of hospitals use computerized physician order entry Reasons for slow progress Lack of interconnectivity / interoperability Costs Fear of legal burdens Uncertain tech support Concerns about rapid obsolescence Rural area providers least likely to adopt EHR

Rationale for an interoperable EHR Cost savings Decreased medical errors Improved public health surveillance

General issues with EHR Verification of patient consent for release of medical records information. Forwarding patient information without a signed release form. Perceived need to obtain IRB approval for release of identified patient data.

General barriers to obtaining an interoperable EHR “The way we have always done it” mentality Ownership of responsibility Discrepancy in application and interpretation of HIPAA State law regarding mandated reporting / privacy of communicable diseases “Just say no!”

Interoperability issues Lack of common platform Legal / regulatory / policy impediments to information exchange Bandwidth

US DHHS Health Information Exchange Plan Harmonize standards Create certification criteria for EHR products / technology Develop prototype network architecture Identify / address variations in state laws / business policies affecting privacy and security that impedes / facilitates exchange of health information

Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration - HISPC Funded by DHS Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research Managed by NGA / RTI 33 states and Puerto Rico

Mission Bring together broad range of stakeholders Identify legal / policy / practice barriers to electronic exchange of health information Develop through a consensus process recommended solutions Create state level report to Federal government Cooperate in establishment of NHIN
