13 Average IHA ER Rates

14 Combined IHA ER Rates

15 Building the Infrastructure: EMR EMR –2003 - Commitment to implement EMR – right thing to do to ensure quality and safety for our patients despite cost –7/06 – 1 Internal Medicine and 1 OB/GYN office go live on EMR – major challenges

16 Time to Revisit our Options

17 Re-organize process –Designate EMR training team –Hire director of EMR training – CNP with clinical experience –Develop roll-out schedule for offices –Fine tune process –All IHA offices now live on EMR or in implementation EMR Implementation

18 EMR OUTCOMES Improved consistency of work flow around Preventive and Chronic Disease Care Allowed direct upload of quality data/ HEDIS indicators to payers Enhanced patient safety Developed disease-specific registries Cost –Overall total Capital Investment > $8,000,000 –Ongoing Costs - about $1,400,000/year

20 Registry Function Test Tracking Development of Internal Coaches Roles and Responsibilities Care Coordination  Learning Collaborative with HVPA and U of M Building the Infrastructure: LEAN

21 Make the Right Thing the Easy Thing Same Way Every Time No Double Work Increase Efficiencies and Decrease Errors

22 Planned Care Self Management Prevention Patient Portal Back Pain Care Coordination  Hospitalist Pilot Building the Infrastructure: Care Management

23 Hospitalist Pilot Program: Continuity of Care Hospitalist enters info into the Admit/ Discharge template. Hospitalist tasks the Nurse Triage group of the PCP’s location Nurse Triage accepts task Nurse Triage (or their designee) Opens PCIS Prints discharge summary Scans summary into ICS Notifies appropriate person per office workflow To provide continuity of care, Nurse Triage Reads discharge summary and contacts patient Assures patient that the IHA Hospitalist has been in touch with his/her PCP. Does med reconciliation over phone (if possible) Sets up follow-up appointment Answers any immediate questions or gives any appropriate cautions (eg: if SOB go to the ER) Activates a recall (or task appropriate person for this) Task PCP per office protocol (eg: at completion of above tasks).

24 IHA Patient Satisfaction Results – Fall 2008

25 Complete implementation of EMR with development of new templates to support clinical quality Patient Centered Medical Home designation for every IHA practice Full implementation of the Patient Portal Continue to integrate with other community groups to provide coordinated care Multi-specialty Growth Next Steps

26 Continuous improvement on Quality and HEDIS metrics Improve Access and continued reduction in ED utilization Work with hospitalist group to reduce re- admission rates through improved coordination of care work flow
