Philadelphia Department of Public Health Serves Philadelphia, which is both a City and a County Serves a population of 1.5 million Has 1,000 Employees Has 20 diverse program areas: environmental, medical examiner, animal control, restaurant inspections… Has three main areas within the PDPH that focus on current HIT initiatives: DDC, AHS, DIT

3 Division of Disease Control Has numerous programs with case management/outreach and data collection, such as Immunization, STD (including clinic), TB (including clinic), Acute Communicable Disease Is responsible for NEDSS, BioSense, HAN, the Cities Readiness Initiative including Strategic National Stockpile Works with Philadelphia EOC and eTeam Incident Management System for five-county SEPA area (one third of State population)

4 Ambulatory Health Services 8 Heath Care Centers 350,000 patient visits per year 550,000 prescriptions per year 20,000 dental visits per year Outreach programs Over 50 % of patients are uninsured

6 RHIOs PA Medical Society - PA e-Health Initiative Delaware Valley HealthCare Council (local chapter of the Hospital and Healthcare Association of Pennsylvania) TB X-ray exchange PDPH expected role

7 Electronic Health Records (EHR) Lab reporting and EHR at HCC Interface Health Care Center’s lab system with Pennsylvania Department of Health and NEDSS Critical need for EHR to improve patient services locally Relationship between Health Care Center EHR and national effort

8 HIT Initiatives: Local HD Issues Priorities: local core responsibilities vis-à-vis state and national initiatives Cross-jurisdictional (county and state) Integration of initiatives Interoperability of systems Resources/training

9 HIT Initiatives: Challenges Leadership/Governance Coordination/communication Role definition: Who is involved? Who should be involved? Planning: at local, state, and federal levels Additional and more refined standards The need to address privacy issues

10 Summary HIT initiatives need to be defined in relation to each other and the National Health Information Network (NHIN) Cooperation between the public and private sectors is essential An allowance should be made for the governance framework to develop over time A means for local HD input, oversight, and process improvement is necessary. They must have a seat at the table
