2Clinical Information System
- Computer-based system that is designed for
collecting, storing, manipulating, and making
available clinical information for healthcare
delivery process. - May be limited to a single area (laboratory
system, pharmacy system, imaging system, etc.) or
they may be widespread and include virtually all
aspects of clinical records (e.g. electronic
medical records) - Provide a clinical data repository that stores
clinical data such as patients history of
illness and interactions with care providers. - Includes service functions such as Hospital
Information Systems (HIS), functional systems
(ADT, scheduling), departmental systems (LIS,
RIS, PIS), Computerized Physician Order Entry
systems (CPOE), ePrescribing systems
3HIT Stimulus target
- Inclusion of 36.5 b to create nationwide network
of EHRs - Can HIT improve health and health care?
- Can HIT save 77.8 b each year through universal
use of HIT? - What enables this dream?
- What is meaningful use of EHR?
- What are the components?
4Why is HIT a high priority?
- Patient safety
- Increased concerns related to safety of
prescription drugs - New emphasis on eliminating Healthcare Affiliated
Infections - Demand for quality pay related to performance
and outcomes - Cost containment in face of increasing costs of
healthcare - Efficient and effective health care delivery a
must - Health surveillance, biodefense and natural
disaster increased mandatory reporting
requirements - Accommodating an aging and mobile population
- Effective management of chronic disease
- Equal access to care - uninsured
- Consumer sophistication and knowledge in health
mobility - Increasing importance of multiple uses of data
translational medicine - Movement from illness care to wellness care
- Practice of medicine that is predictive,
personalized and pre-emptive
5Why is HIT a high priority?
- Resources are becoming limited
- Decreasing number of providers
- Smaller hospitals disappearing
- Long waits for appointments
- Few walk-in appointments available
- Changing models for healthcare
- Consumer driven health care
- Health savings accounts
- Shopping mall clinics, Doc in Box clinics
- Wal-Mart, Google and Microsoft movement into
healthcare - Changes in doctors information gathering skills
- Increase in options for testing and treatment
- Limited connectivity among providers with
multiple providers involved in care - The Healthcare Gamble who calls the play?
6Why is HIT a high priority?
- Volume of data about a patient has increased
tremendously over the past decades - Increasing number of diagnostic tests
- Increasing numbers and modality of images
- Genetic testing
- Access to data at place and time of decision
making is critical - Informed decision requires data
- Reusable data is a must
- From bytes to kilobytes to megabytes to gigabytes
to terabytes to
7Why is HIT a high priority?
- Sources and amount of knowledge have increased
exponentially over the past decades - Amount of new knowledge introduced each year
would take more than 200 years to assimilate into
ones practice reading and understanding two
papers each night - Undergraduate and graduate education is based on
out of date concepts - Continuing medical education is inadequate
- We cant learn fast enough to be effective
- New knowledge requires new skills and new
understanding - Current model is evidence-based medicine, so we
need evidence
8In the past
- Patients went to their doctors only when they
were sick. - Patients were not permitted to see their own
records, and most did not want to. - Doctors thought patients were not able to
understand their diseases or treatments, which
were often not even revealed to the patient. - Doctors made all the decisions, usually not
sharing options for treatment.
9Now
- Focus is changing from illness care to wellness,
prevention, and preemptive care - Patient has access to record by law
- Patient involved in decision-making about
treatment - Google and Internet source of knowledge
- Patients arrive at doctors office with stack of
paper - TV commercials suggest drugs and say ask your
provider encouraging consumerism - Personal Health Records are becoming more common
10A Bit of History
- After almost 50 years of development of the
electronic medical record, we seem to be
struggling with many of the same problems today. - During that same period, technology has made
unbelievable progress new drugs, new
treatments, new tests, communication satellites
with almost instant world communication,
transportation advances with rapid and easy world
travel, creation of a global community. - Applications in healthcare have not kept pace
with the technology.
11What have we missed?
- We have designed a system that mimics the paper
based system we have not taken advantage of
technology we have not stated or understood the
problems we want to solve. - We have yet to answer the simple question What
is the purpose of the Electronic Health Record,
and how can it most effectively be used? - Legacy is overpowering. We are dominated by the
past we have not been bold enough to tempt the
marketplace with new vision.
12A meaningful use vision
- A ubiquitous infrastructure that permits the
creation of an Electronic Health Record in which
all relevant data about an individual is
aggregated across regional, state and national
boundaries. - This EHR serves all sites, views, presentations
and purposes relating to health and health care. - With a single data entry, the EHR meets all data
reporting requirements as well as health care.
Its every thing for every body. - The EHR becomes an active partner, not just a
passive data repository.
13A meaningful use vision
- Comprehensive data for patient care
- Integrates data with knowledge for cognitive
support of both providers and patients - Accommodate heterogeneity of many sites of care
- Empower persons to become involved in the
healthcare - Provide operational value through aggressive
interaction with patient and provider - The vision depends on understanding what problems
you are trying to solve at the moment and at that
location.
14CIS is about
- Data and data management
- The right data and only the right data
- Complete, aggregated, timely, trustworthy,
unambiguous, reusable, logically accessible - Event driven displays, logically driven
- Knowledge and knowledge management
- Evidence-based, up-to-date, appropriate,
integrated into work flow, human and computer
useable - Processes and work flow
- Effectively and efficiently combines data with
knowledge to enable optimum human decision-making - Monitor decisions and outcomes and provide safety
checks, feedback and recommendations - Integrate data collection, presentation and
decision support transparently into care delivery
process
15Value
- Data is reusable provides value for multiple
secondary uses - Analysis of patient conditions, treatments,
outcomes, demographics and environment produce
new knowledge that is automatically fed back into
the care process. - Models of care are produced that permit
projections for improved outcomes, reduced costs,
higher quality.

sites of care? How do we effectively put this
package together?

17The Current EHR
- Fragmented patient records
- Incomplete and unreliable data
- Record is unstructured location of data varies
across records - Poor user interfaces and inadequate data capture
- Passive participant in care process
- Data recorded after the fact
- Data storage reflects particular application and
cannot easily be used independently - Retrieval similar to paper record
responsibility is on user to find critical data.
The needle remains hidden in the hay stack!
18The Electronic Health Record
- Architecture designed for fast and varied
retrieval and presentation independent of
collection modality anticipates query - Purpose is to enhance and enable the care of the
individual reusability of data is also a goal - Content focused on informational value contains
only data contributing to current and future
health of person store only what varies with
patient data warehouse satisfies complete and
permanent storage for legal, other purposes - Structured for unambiguous clarity, understanding
and interoperability - Support common core throughout varied sites of
care - Patient-centric one person, one EHR
- Rich in functionality varies with site
- Includes workflow and process management
19So the EHRS must
- Support multiple clinical domains and therapeutic
areas - Contain imbedded Decision Support
- Filter and screen superfluous data present data
appropriate for circumstances - Support both push and pull data interchange
- Provide data that is reusable
- Enhance belief of data integrity, sound decision
support, competent workflow management, and
provide adequate privacy and security - Become a part of the patient care team and
provide data and give advice supported by
literature when and where appropriate
20What we must have
- Architecture of EHR that can support a variety of
users and uses. - Requires independence of data from application
set - Data must be interoperable it must be
automatically reusable it must be capable of
integrating with new data to produce new value
and understanding. - Granularity of data must start at lowest levels
to permit effective computer analyses and
understanding - Reevaluate patient care and treatment as new data
enters incorporating old data
21And more
- Effective and timely disease management with a
personalized approach - Knowledge driven filters for presentation and
exchange of data - Proactive recommendation of actions for both
providers and patients - Determine factors that impact health including
social, economic, and environmental situation.
Focus on reducing impact of negative factors. - Influence the way providers practice medicine it
must change.
22Structured Data Storage
- Demographics (including living situation,
occupation, ) - Summary Problem List
- Procedures
- Studies (laboratory, radiology, diagnostic tests,
) - Therapies (prescription drugs, immunizations,
blood products, alternative medicines,
over-the-counter drugs, ) - Allergies, adverse events, drug reactions
- Subjective Physical Findings (history, physical
exam) - Encounter (place, date_time, providers, problems,
procedures, studies, therapies, SP, supplies,
disposition) - Providers involved in care
- Scheduling
- Protocols and disease management, trigger event
flags - Patient education record
23A Mistake to Avoid

- Why important?
- Includes demographics, living environment,
occupation, family history, preferences, quality
and nature of life, stress and pain, geocoding - Clinical Data
- Why important and what content?
- Includes laboratory tests, diagnostic tests,
diagnostic images, subjective and physical
findings, diseases, behavior
25EHR
- Treatments
- Why important?
- Understand why choices made define expected
results - Outcomes
- Why important?
- Feed back to influence treatment and enhance
knowledge and understanding of disease and
related factors - The EHR must contain everything anyone might need
as part of the healthcare process.

What is required to provide the interoperable
connectivity?
Query
A suite of standards!
Other Systems
27How do we know what we want?
- Start with defining use cases, story boards or
scenarios in order to understand actors,
interactions, required data elements, data flow,
trigger events, work flow, and decision support
required. - Use cases are created by many groups including
HITSP, HL7, IHE, CDISC, caBIG, VA, DOD, FDA, CDC,
- Package as Domain Analysis Model
28Establish a common base
- Start with a common Reference Information Model
on which all data items, entities, acts, roles
and relationships are defined. ISO/HL7 RIM is a
global standard. CEN 13606 - Data models BRIDG, CDISC, caBIG
29Data elements
- Fundamental component for data interchange
- Key attributes include
- Unique persistent identifier code ISO OIDs,
UMLS, other ? - Precise definition validated by domain experts
- Single terminology assigned to data element
derived from controlled vocabulary - Data types (HL7/CEN/ISO)
- Standard units (ISO/HL7)
- Classifications
- Defined value set
- Synonyms
- Other attributes
- Centrally maintained globally distributed free
to users dynamically maintained appropriate
tools - ISO 11179 underlying standard
30The Terminology Dilemma
- SNOMED CT (clinical terminology)
- LOINC (laboratory tests)
- RxNorm (orderable clinical drug codes and
formulations, mapped in UMLS) - Structured Product Labeling dosing, potential
interactions, etc. - VA NDF-RT (therapeutic classification,
components, mechanism of action, physiologic
effect, diseases treated) - FDA terminology sets (dosage form, packaging,
routes, application methods) - MedDRA adverse events
- ICD-9 or ICD-10 for reimbursement and clinical
- CPT procedures
- ICPC primary care
- MEDCIN clinical terminology
- IEEE medical devices
- Local terminologies
- Over 200 different terminologies to choose from.
Mapping is a workable solution but costs extra,
is never synchronized, and loses information.
31An approach to semantic interoperability
32Compound data elements
- Attributes similar to data elements
- Examples include blood pressure, heart murmur,
titers - Expressed as

- Institutional view
- Site specific (inpatient, outpatient, emergency,
long term, home) - Data contained is defined by institutional
requirements but derived from common source - Provider centric
- Shared view The Essential EHR
- Aggregated and complete view of patient
- Supports push and pull scenarios
- Data centric
- Personal view
- Appropriate clinical data organized around
personal health plan - Management of persons health
- Supports a personal health plan and provides
decision support specific to person - Patient centric

54What is behind this model?
- Standards
- Infrastructure to support aggregation of data
into a single patient record which requires - Infrastructure to support a regional network
- Infrastructure and linkage of regional networks
to provide a virtual national network - A business case based on supported facts and
includes a financial model that balances rewards
with costs - A workable process that permits us to reach the
destination in doable chunks - Understanding and creating the necessary linkages
among stakeholders - State efforts blended into a common process that
will support interoperability among states
55These views must serve
- Real-time connectivity to provide appropriate and
controlled access to aggregated patient data. - Disease registries permit the monitoring and
assurance of high quality care. - Research databases are derived for specific
purposes and for specific periods of time. - Reimbursement is derived from clinical data,
ideally in real time. - Accreditation, credentialing and statistical
reporting are derived products. - The data warehouse contains all data for legal
and archiving purposes. - Support consumer driven healthcare
- Mandatory reporting such as immunizations, HAI,
etc.

57Institutional EHR
- Presents a provider-centric view of the patients
record - Record contains patient data as well as
intellectual content from provider of care
serves multiple purposes may contain notes of
provider only. - Patient should have access to data and be able to
identify errors and require correction of errors - Content is driven by the institutional needs and
varies from site to site - Should contain all data important for patients
care plus other data required by the institution - Constitutes the billing record
- There is a need to interchange data with other
sites at which patient receives care - EHRS support full functionality for site care and
management
58The Inpatient View
- Deals with acute events and data has mostly
immediate value for decision making and
intervention. After intervention occurs, data
has less value. (Short persistence) - Required functionality deals primarily with
service activities ordering, results review,
admission and discharge - CPOE systems particularly valuable to support
services - Real-time decision support valuable
- Inpatient version of ePrescribing, unit dose
- Patient monitoring, medical device component of
IT support - More tolerance for additional time required for
IT activities - Administrative support provides value to
physicians rounding data - Intensive care even more acute. High payoffs for
decision support very short persistence of data
59The Inpatient View
- Presentation of data for direct patient care
- Ease documentation requirements
- Evidence-based clinical pathways/guidelines/protoc
ols - Multiple views of data, usually time-oriented
- Automatic creation of discharge summaries
- Task and workflow management
- Automatic linkage to task management
- Coupled to scheduling for radiology and
diagnostic tests, e.g. - Patient location, patient status
- Asynchronous communication among healthcare
providers and workers
60Outpatient view
- Data vary over a longer period of time. Data
have a longer persistence. - Trend analyses are important.
- Outpatient ePrescribing valuable medication
history key. - Focus on prevention and management of chronic
disease. - Primary responsibility, with patient, for the
patients overall health, i.e., medical home - Educational and behavioral modification
- Depends on integration of data from multiple
sources - Provider overhead for IT critical
61Shared or Population View
- A summary record (essential EHR) from all sites
and sources of care RHIO EHR - Linkage of data for new sites of care as well as
base for population surveillance, research,
quality, analysis - Data arrives as identified data, available as
de-identified - Data source for authorized providers provides
connectivity - Provides
- Utilization data
- Accurate and timely statistics about health and
disease in population - Accurate reporting of events, disease and
outcomes - Early discovery of outbreaks, new diseases,
bioterrorist attacks - Immunizations, infectious disease tracking
- Creation of on-the-fly randomized clinical
trials - With geocodes, permits understanding statistics

- Permitting the patient to view an institutions
EHR is NOT a PHR - PHR has three components
- Clinical data that will be similar to the summary
health record plus data that is entered directly
or by sensor into the PHR. Clinical data is
downloaded from sites of care. Data may be
uploaded to site EHRs. - Management of a persons health including prompts
for appointments, medication refills, screening
tests, immunizations, etc. Decision support
algorithms suggest what provider should be doing
in terms of frequency of visit, tests, etc. - Access to knowledge that is tailored to a
persons needs and is driven by clinical data. - May be located at a site of care, at a PHR
provider or on the persons personal computer.
Backup issues are important.

64Regional Center
- Accommodates 3 to 5 million persons
- Contains summary, aggregated data
- Is a local database
- Available 24/7
- Contains linkages to other centers so patients
crossing boundaries of regions can be aggregated - De-identified data available for local or global
queries and analysis
65Regional Healthcare Information Organizations
Estimate approximately 100 such centers at
implementation cost of 3m each and operational
cost of 1 M.
RHIO
- Each RHIO provides backup for other RHIOs.
- MPI identifies home RHIO
66Regional Health Information Organizations
- Regional collaboration of multi-stakeholder
organizations working together to connect
healthcare communities with the goal of improving
quality of care, safety and efficiency - Typical objectives
- Develop community-wide health information
exchange - Create healthcare portal with interoperable
applications - Create a training and support infrastructure to
ensure adoption of applications - Engaging payers in programs that align incentives
appropriately
67National Healthcare Information Networks (NHIN)
- To provide a secure, nationwide, interoperable
health information infrastructure that will
connect providers, consumers, and others involved
in supporting health and healthcare. - E-health information to follow the consumer, be
available for clinical decision making, and
support appropriate use of healthcare information
beyond direct patient care so as to improve
health - De-identified regional data can be analyzed
nationally in aggregate. There is a national MPI
which permits authenticated and authorized access
to RHIOs for legal health-related purposes. - Security and privacy are top priorities.
68A minimal EHR system
- Simple design. Minimum system supports
demographics, lab, meds, brief history and
physical, appointments, encounters, reimbursement
and limited decision support. - Component design so enhancements can be added as
desired. - EHR contents are interoperable with larger, more
complex systems. - Make systems maintenance free and simple to use.
69An EHR For All The World
- Use Service Oriented Architecture approach
design components that can be easily connected. - Determine immediate problems to be solved then
implement those components to meet those goals. - Keep it simple do in manageable chunks grow
systems as needs expand and new problems can be
engaged
70Moving into the future
The Vision
The Centerpiece of HIT EHR
Data CreationData Collection Data
Interchange Data Aggregation
Proactive interpretation of data to direct
behavior to enable quality care.
Real-time integration of knowledge to direct and
control collection of data.
Includes the service functions HIS, CPOE,
ePrescribing, billing
71Creative vision
- Rather than using technology to identify medical
errors, use technology to prevent medical errors. - Real time analysis of data to direct safe and
quality care. - Dashboard displays at each level to focus on
priority interventions. - Stop errors before they happen
- Order timely and effective testing for disease
- Proactive presentation of data with understanding
of next event.
72What else do we want?
- A system that helps not hinders
- A system that assures patient safety and insures
quality care - A system that supports public health
- Health surveillance
- Epidemiology data in my area of care
- Disease prevalence by region, age , gender, race,
social status - A system that enables transitional medicine
shorten time from bench top to bedside
73Why Global?
- Maximize use of available resources common
effort and share amplification of productivity - Enhances understanding of the problems
- Share in creation and use of knowledge clinical
trials should be ubiquitous - Funding for research should be global and shared
cost should not limit availability - Mobility of disease disease knows no borders
- Mobility of people
- Preserve culture
- It just makes sense the world is one!
74What the future must bring
- An EHR designed to take full advantage of
technology and embraces new concepts - Push technology that delivers what the provider
needs in form, time, content, and based on the
next event - Dashboard presentations based on closed loop
systems. Heads-up displays instant awareness. - Providers not only accept EHR but change the way
they practice medicine (a necessity) - Connectivity and completeness
- Enables accessibility wherever the patient is
- Reusability
- Establish and track metrics for health outcomes,
quality of care, performance, access,
disparities, and efficiency - Permits projection for resource requirements for
health care
75What does HIT have to do with world health and
world peace?
- HIT contributes to higher quality of life
- HIT enables equality of life
- HIT provides equal access to care and treatment
based on current knowledge - HIT enables education, provides jobs and
contributes to ability to work thus contributing
to society - Solving health problems involves solving food
problems - Good hygiene, healthy behavior, immunizations
- Focus on problems in health then solve them
