Presenters:    Marilyn  Sanli  and  Liza  Zeljeznjak  Organization:    Hamilton  Health  Sciences  Corporation,  Hamilton,  Ontario  Scheduled:    Wednesday  May  29  at  1:30  pm    Abstract:    Hamilton  Health  Sciences,  an  academic  hospital,  continues  to  successfully  implement  an  inter-­‐professional  electronic  health  record  across  five  sites.    Lessons  learned  over  the  last  three  years  have  led  to  the  development  of  a  four  phased  implementation  plan.  Our  iterative  approach  combines  integration  of  clinical  standards,  quality  improvement,  project  management,  and  change  management  methodologies.  Emphasis  on  the  initiation  and  evaluation  phases  has  resulted  in  more  engaged  leadership  and  clinician  participation  in  adoption  of  electronic  documentation.    Creating  inter-­‐professional  working  groups  of  front-­‐line  clinicians,  clinical  leadership  and  practice  specialists  enabled  the  groups  to  evaluate,  change  and  re-­‐evaluate    their  clinical  practice  (documentation  and  processes)    based  on  best  practice  and  documentation  standards,  prior  to  the  conversion    to  electronic  documentation.  Inclusion  of  Deming’s  quality  cycle  (PDSA)  and  change  management  strategies  has  been  crucial  in  helping  clinicians  transition  these  significant  changes  into  their  practice.  Realizing  these  initiatives  before  implementation  and  continually  assessing  and  reviewing  the  requirements  after  the  implementation  has  maximized  adoption  and  streamlined  processes  to  integrate  into  nursing  and  allied  professional  best  practices  and  documentation  standards.          Converting  a  multi-­‐site  MEDITECH  hospital  from  paper  to  electronic  documentation  is  more  than  just  flipping  a  switch.    The  presentation  will  detail  the  key  components  of  the  implementation  –  clinical  documentation  standards  and  practices,  project  management  methodology,  quality  improvement  initiatives,  and  change  management  strategies  incorporated  in  the  early  and  post-­‐live  phases  of  implementation  which  have  resulted  in  greater  positive  outcomes  at  Hamilton  Health  Sciences.    Marilyn  Sanli,  BSc,  PMP  is  the  Project  Manager,  Clinical  Informatics  Projects.  Prior  to  moving  into  the  project  management  field,  Marilyn  was  a  systems  analyst  supporting  MEDITECH  and  other  vendor  applications.  In  additional  to  electronic  clinical  documentation,  Marilyn  is  currently  the  project  manager  for  a  variety  of  MEDITECH  initiatives  including  the  implementation  of  POM,  PCM,  NUR,  TAR,  BMV,  and  the  electronic  MAR.    Liza  Zeljeznjak,  RN,  BScN,  CNCC(C)  is  a  Clinical  Informatics  Specialist.  Lisa  is  a  Registered  Nurse  currently  working  in  Clinical  Informatics.  She  is  part  of  the  inter-­‐professional  team  that  is  converting  the  hospital  from  paper  to  electronic.  She  is  responsible  for  the  planning,  implementation  and  maintenance  of  MEDITECH  NUR  application.  Prior  to  Clinical  Informatics,  Lisa  was  a  front  line  clinician  specializing  in  Neuro/Trauma  Critical  Care.      Learner  Outcomes:      

• To  understand  the  necessity  of  documentation  standards  and  impact  of  documentation  workflow  processes  on  the  implementation  of  an  electronic  health  record  

• To  understand  the  importance  of  project,  quality  and  change  management  strategies  in  the  successful  conversion  of  paper  to  electronic  documentation.  

• To  understand  the  four  key  components  to  implementation  and  how  to  utilize  them  for  the  implementation  of  the  electronic  health  record.  

 1005  -­‐  Using  What  You've  Got  to  Get  What  You  Want  Presenter:    Tammy  Burke  

Page 5: April 2 9 muse conference   educational presentations

Organization:    Rapid  City  Regional  Hospital,  Rapid  City,  South  Dakota  Scheduled:    Wednesday  May  29  at  2:30  pm    Abstract:    Under-­‐utilization  of  available  information  resulting  in  follow  up  phone  calls  and  pages  to  physicians  for  clarification  of  orders  by  ancillary  departments  has  led  to  opportunities  for  improvement.  Providing  intelligent  rules  within  a  system  at  the  time  of  order  entry  for  physicians  is  key  to  helping  users  work  smarter  not  harder.  Increasing  the  functionality  (using  what  is  available  or  creating  new  functionality)  to  impact  patient  care  decisions  is  one  key  to  enhancing  the  processes  that  are  in  place  and  helps  to  allow  the  patient  to  get  the  very  best  quality  consistent  care.      Implementing  clinical  decision  smart  rules  improves  efficacy  of  Computerized  Provider  Order  Entry,  time  management,  workflow,  and  order  to  report  turn-­‐around  time.  In  addition,  this  improves  clinician  and  staff  experience  by  fully  using  the  resources  available  to  all  players  involved  in  patient  care.  The  patient  experience  is  improved  by  keeping  them  safe  and  expediting  diagnosis  to  treatment  time.      This  session  will  provide  attendees  with  proof  and  testimonials  that  have  been  successful  in  improving  the  ordering  process  and  the  ultimate  care  of  the  patient.  We  hope  this  information  will  entice  new  thoughts  and  ideas  of  how  CPOE  intelligent  rules  can  help  you  use  what  you've  got  to  get  what  you  want!    Tammy  Burke  is  a  Clinical  Informatics  Specialist  and  Registered  Respiratory  Therapist  that  has  been  assisting  physicians  with  Computerized  Order  Entry  for  three  years.  Tammy  was  a  Respiratory  Therapist  at  the  bedside  for  18  years  when  she  decided  to  try  to  affect  patient  care  on  a  more  global  level.  She  has  realized  that  taking  care  of  the  whole  patient  is  not  just  dependent  upon  care  at  the  bedside.  Tammy  believes  “To  truly  do  what  is  best  for  the  patient,  requires  evidence  based  and  quality  measures  in  patient  care.  Hardwiring  excellence  in  patient  care  takes  an  incredible  amount  of  ‘behind  the  scenes’  work.”    Learner  Outcomes:      

• Creating  effective  smart  rules  for  accurate  results  by  utilizing  multi-­‐disciplinary  participants  to  evaluate  each  rule.  

• Creating  meaningful  rules  that  will  impact  the  care  of  the  patient  by  assisting  the  physicians  and  users  at  the  time  of  order.  

• Avoid  excessive  rules  to  eliminate  pop  up  fatigue  and  avoidance  of  alerts.                      1006  -­‐  To  Boldly  Go  Where  No  Documentation  Has  Gone  Before  Presenters:    Chris  Burke  and  Diane  Folsom  Organization:    Boulder  Community  Hospital,  Boulder,  Colorado  Scheduled:    Thursday  May  30  at  3:30  pm

Abstract:    Accurately  managing  employee  access  within  MEDITECH  alone  can  be  resource  intensive,  but  when  you  add  all  of  the  other  software  used  in  an  organization  and  throw  in  non-­‐employed  users  the  issue  becomes  very  complex,  and  full  of  risk.    At  this  presentation  you  will  learn  some  of  the  tricks  that  Citizens  Memorial  uses  to  manage  users  and  minimize  risk  in  an  ever  changing  environment  including  the  following:  profiles  access  assigned  based  upon  an  employee’s  contract  in  the  HR  module,  expiration  dates,  and  use  of  the  credential  field  to  validate  that  a  Business  Associate  Agreement  (BAA)  is  on  file  for  non-­‐employed  users,  review  of  reports  used  for  monitoring  compliance  and  account  management  procedures.    Citizens  Memorial  will  also  share  the  vision  and  current  state  of  automated,  centralized  account  management  procedures.    Kim  Tilley  serves  as  the  Healthcare  Information  Systems  Manager  and  HIPAA  Security  Officer  for  Citizens  Memorial  Hospital,  CMH.    In  1997  she  began  her  career  at  CMH  in  the  revenue  cycle  arena,  and  in  2004  she  joined  the  Information  Systems  team  and  supported  the  revenue  cycle  applications.    In  2007  she  assumed  her  current  role.    Kim  earned  a  Bachelor  of  Social  Work  from  Missouri  State  University  in  2002,  a  Master  of  Business  Administration  from  Southwest  Baptist  University  in  2006,  and  became  a  Certified  Professional  in  Healthcare  Information  and  Management  Systems,  CPHIMS,  in  2010.        1021  -­‐  Cherry  Pick  Your  PDOC  Starting  Point  –  PDOC  in  the  Family  Birth  Place  Unit  Presenter:    Ruth  Swanson  Organization:    Swedish  American  Health  System,  Rockford,  Illinois  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  11:00  am    Abstract:    This  session  will  focus  on  our  initial  PDOC  rollout  to  the  Family  Birth  Place  Unit.  Learn  how  we  engaged  our  OB  and  Peds  providers  to  develop  content  for  nine  templates.  See  the  process  we  followed  for  building  the  templates,  and  working  with  the  Quality,  HIMS,  Clinical  Informatics,  and  Coding  departments  to  get  their  input.  See  if  our  on-­‐line  training  module  and  support  process  could  be  helpful  in  your  institution.    Ruth  Swanson  RN  MS  is  an  Application  Analyst  at  Swedish  American  Health  System  in  Rockford  IL.  She  has  been  with  the  Information  Systems  department  for  18  years  and  has  supported  a  variety  of  systems  including  iDX,  Epic  and  most  recently,  MEDITECH,  for  the  past  three  years.  Ruth  is  the  Project  Manager  for  the  PDOC  implementation.    Learner  Outcomes:      

• The  learner  will  identify  tips  and  tricks  to  engage  physicians  so  they  want  to  be  a  part  of  the  PDOC  project.  They  will  learn  how  effective  physician  meetings  can  be  facilitated  for  gathering  PDOC  content.  

• The  learner  will  identify  key  departments  to  involve  during  PDOC  development.  Hospital  departments  such  as  Clinical  Informatics,  Nursing,  Quality,  HIMS,  and  Coding  offer  valuable  input  that  strengthens  the  provider  documentation  tool.  

• The  learner  will  learn  how  on-­‐line  training  can  be  beneficial  to  getting  providers  to  attend  training  sessions  as  well  as  make  the  classroom  trainer's  job  easier.  Using  the  existing  health  system  on-­‐line  training  program  to  gain  access  to  the  Capture  Point  and  Content  Point  software  provides  familiarity  and  consistency  for  provider  training.

Organization:    Ephraim  McDowell  Regional  Hospital,  Danville,  Kentucky  Scheduled:    Wednesday  May  29  at  1:30  pm    Abstract:    Our  road  with  documentation  started  with  inpatient  online  documentation.  We  learned  many  lessons  throughout  that  process  and  were  able  to  roll  out  the  ED  online  documentation  process  very  smoothly.  From  training  to  implementation,  the  physicians  were  on  board  building  templates  in  Dragon  for  ease  of  use.  This  presentation  will  outline  steps  to  take  in  order  to  make  this  a  smooth  transition.    Michelle  Cochran  has  been  at  Ephraim  McDowell  Regional  Medical  Center  for  almost  12  years.  She  started  her  journey  in  the  Medical  Records  department  and  slowly  discovered  her  true  passion  was  IT  and  working  with  physicians.  She  is  currently  working  with  some  clinical  projects  within  MEDITECH  as  well  as  ADM/MRI/PWM.  Michelle  is  a  mother  to  two  beautiful  children,  a  son  age  7  months  and  a  daughter  age  12.    Learner  Outcomes:  

• Training  the  Dragon  program  in  a  very  noisy  environment  is  key  to  the  success  of  this  program.  Learn  the  best  practice  to  accomplish  this.  

• Hotkeys  and  microphone  functionality  is  essential  in  making  the  process  a  quick  one.  Dragon  has  many  key  items  that  can  make  life  easier,  but  the  discovery  of  those  takes  time.  Get  those  on  the  spot.  

• Physician  input.  Receive  the  words  and  templates  in  order  to  get  their  physicians  on  board;  key  ideas  to  bring  their  attention  to  what  is  important;  better  documentation.  

       1041  -­‐  Improving  Hospital  Consumer  Assessment  of  Healthcare  Providers  and  Systems  (HCAHPS)  Scores  with  Nursing  Electronic  Alerts  Presenters:    Joshua  Schmees  and  John  Moore  Organization:    Hospital  Sisters  Health  System,  Springfield,  Illinois  Scheduled:    Thursday  May  30  at  3:30  pm    Abstract:    Healthcare  institutions  are  currently  searching  for  new  ways  to  improve  patient  satisfaction  scores  at  their  facilities.  One  way  to  impact  patient  satisfaction  scores  is  by  scripting  the  education  patients  receive  before  each  medication  is  administered.  The  purpose  of  this  project  was  to  improve  medication  education  utilizing  a  pop-­‐up  box  reminder  at  the  point  of  care  to  efficiently  and  effectively  communicate  to  the  patient  about  medication  uses  and  side  effects.      The  community  hospital’s  electronic  medication  administration  record  was  used  to  trigger  a  rule  for  each  drug  or  drug  class  to  create  a  pop-­‐up  box  reminder.  The  alert  trigger  is  generated  at  the  patient  beside  so  that  nurses  can  provide  efficient  medication  education  to  every  patient  before  giving  each  medication.  The  pop-­‐up  box  template  includes  the  most  common  uses  of  the  drug  and  the  top  side  effects  of  the  drug.  The  nurse  then  has  one  of  the  following  ways  to  document  the  education:    

• Patient  given  education  • Patient  not  responsive/sedated  and  family  educated  • Patient  not  responsive/sedated  no  family  present  • Patient  not  cooperative  

Page 28: April 2 9 muse conference   educational presentations

• Patient  previously  educated  in  this  hospital  stay    The  primary  objective  of  the  project  is  to  increase  the  percent  of  “Always”  responses  for  the  two  questions  in  the  HCAHPS  survey  that  ask  how  often  the  patient  was  educated  about  new  medications  and  the  side  effects  of  their  medications.  The  secondary  objective  of  the  project  will  be  to  track  the  “Usually”,  “Sometimes”,  and  “Never”  responses  to  see  the  difference  in  “non-­‐Always”  responses.    The  project  was  implemented  on  September  4th  and  data  will  be  collected  over  the  next  six  months  following  implementation.    Josh  Schmees,  PharmD,  is  the  HSHS  Southern  Illinois  Division  System  Pharmacist  of  Informatics  and  Automation  Services.  Dr.  Schmees  received  his  Doctor  of  Pharmacy  from  the  Ohio  Northern  University-­‐  Raabe  College  of  Pharmacy.  Prior  to  joining  HSHS,  Dr.  Schmees  served  as  the  St.  Elizabeth  Hospital-­‐  Belleville  Pharmacy  Manager  of  Operations  and  Technology.    John  Moore  is  the  HSHS  Clinical  System  Team  Lead  for  MEDITECH  PHA/RXM  &  PYXIS.  John  has  working  in  healthcare  IT  at  HSHS  for  25  years.  Prior  to  that,  he  was  a  pharmacy  technician  at  St.  Johns  Hospital  in  Springfield  IL.  He  holds  a  Bachelor’s  in  Arts  Degree  in  Healthcare  Administration  from  the  University  of  Illinois  Springfield.      Learner  Outcomes:  

• In  a  community  hospital,  we  can't  get  to  every  patient  on  every  medication.    Pharmacists  can  create  unique  patient  friendly  terms  for  each  education.  

• Often  we  are  already  doing  the  education  but  aren't  saying  it  the  same  way  everytime.    By  educating  multiple  times  in  the  same  way  we  are  re-­‐enforcing  the  education  key  words.  

• Important  to  not  just  build  rule  but  also  educate  nursing.            1042  -­‐  The  Outage  Cliff  Presenter:    David  Tilley  Organization:    Citizens  Memorial  Hospital,  Bolivar,  Missouri  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  1:30  pm    Abstract:    Downtime  planned  or  unplanned  can  be  difficult  to  manage  especially  in  an  electronic  environment.  Learn  how  Citizens  Memorial  Healthcare  handles  downtime  and  avoids  the  Outage  Cliff  by  using  Report  Scheduler,  a  read  only  EMR,  and  scripting  tools  to  ensure  vital  clinical  and  operational  data  is  available  during  an  outage.    David  Tilley,  BSCS,  serves  as  the  IT  Supervisor  for  Citizens  Memorial  Healthcare  in  Bolivar,  Missouri.    While  working  in  healthcare  IT  over  the  last  11  years,  David  has  served  in  a  variety  of  roles  and  has  been  involved  with  numerous  projects  and  IT  initiatives  at  CMH.    David  is  one  of  the  key  leaders  for  business  continuance  planning,  SAN,  and  Network  planning.        1043  -­‐  Improving  Implementation  of  CPOE  through  Effective  Reporting  Presenter:    David  Pruitt

The  Department’s  intention  was  to  purchase  an  off  the  shelf  solution,  the  cost  of  which  would  be  approximately  £300K  ($500K)  to  implement  and  £30K  ($50K)  annual  maintenance  fee.    Prior  to  this  project,  users  were  faced  with  the  following:  

• Poor  data  quality  • Non-­‐cohesive  work  flow  process  • Lack  of  reporting  • Patient  data  fragmented  across  multiple  databases  • No  ability  to  print  forms  and  patient  pacing  information  cards  • Protracted  processes  to  submit  data  to  Central  Cardiac  Audit  Database  (CCAD)  

 Under  the  National  Health  Service  (NHS)  in  the  UK,  all  hospitals  are  expected  to  provide  Heart  Disease  Audit  Data  to  the  CCAD,  as  part  of  the  National  Clinical  Audit  Support  Programme  (NCASP).  IT&S  Applications  were  approached  to  review  the  possibility  of  implementing  this  proposed  solution.  The  question  was  put  forward  “Why  is  MEDITECH  not  being  considered  as  a  solution?”    After  initial  scoping  what  began  as  a  straight  forward  data  collection,  utilising  a  Customer  Defined  Screen  became  an  in-­‐depth,  cross  module  solution  that  would  streamline  and  standardise  work  processes  across  all  facilities.      This  presentation  looks  at  the  journey  taken  to  provide  a  fully  MEDITECH-­‐based  solution  for  storing,  reporting  and  exporting  data.    Nissar  Hussain  has  been  with  HCA  International  since  2010,  employed  as  an  application  analyst  in  the  clinical  team  within  the  IT&S  department.  Prior  to  this  Nissar  worked  for  the  NHS  as  an  Application  Support  Analyst.    Vigneshwaran  Cumareshan  has  been  with  HCA  International  since  2007,  working  as  an  Application  Analyst  in  firstly  the  Financial  Team  and  presently  the  Clinical  Team,  gaining  experience  in  both  sets  of  applications.  Prior  to  this,  Vignesh  comes  from  a  Biomedical  Science  Background  and  graduated  in  Biomedical  Engineering.                1048  -­‐  ORM  101  Presenter:    Carole  Weinstein  Organization:    The  Valley  Hospital,  Ridgewood,  New  Jersey  Scheduled:    Thursday  May  30  at  3:30  pm    Abstract:    Join  us  for  an  entry  level  review  of  the  Operating  Room  module,  including  ORM  scheduling,  big  board,  preference  cards,  and  case  records.    Some  advanced-­‐beginner  topics,  such  as  a  look  at  Time  Charge  Rules  and  some  tips  on  inventory/MM  items,  will  also  be  covered.

• Data  Sharing  Pathways/Planning  -­‐  Nursing  documentation  structure  and  specificity  can  differ  significantly  from  the  structure  and  specificity  needed  with  PCM/PDOC.  A  key  outcome  of  this  presentation  will  be  to  help  attendees  understand  some  of  the  common  areas  for  developing  standards  to  promote  data  sharing  between  Clinical  and  Medical  staff  and  reduce  redundant  documentation  and  how  to  stage  development/re-­‐development  with  various  clinical  disciplines  (NUR/RT/PT/etc.)  

• MPL  Strategies  -­‐  Optimizing  development  of  the  medical  problem  routines  and  how  to  utilize  standard  functionality  to  incorporate  medical  problems  into  physician  documentation  can  be  challenging.    A  key  takeaway  for  attendees  will  be  methods  for  development,  ways  to  get  physician  by-­‐in  for  migration  to  MPL  documentation,  and  how  to  use  augmentation  tools  (such  as  IMO)  versus  manual  methods  to  map/link  together  variable  clinical  nomenclatures  such  as  ICD9,  ICD10,  SNOMED,  or  DSM-­‐IV  to  promote  easier  utilization.  

• CPOE/MedREC  -­‐  Navigating  optimization  of  CPOE  and  the  Medication  Reconciliation  process  can  be  challenging,  especially  with  focus  on  meeting  Meaningful  Use  criteria.    Key  takeaways  for  attendees  will  be  to  understand  options/pros&cons  for  quality  measure  capture  in  PDOC  versus  CPOE,  or  combination  of  the  two,  reporting  considerations  (NPR  vs  DR  vs  third  party  vendor),  variations  in  process  for  MedRec,  options  for  outputs/reporting  of  key  stages  of  MedRec  and  also  options  for  patient  outputs  (standard  vs  custom  NPR).    Also  how  staging  the  roll  out  of  various  components  of  PCM  can  lead  to  success  as  opposed  to  a  "Big  Bang"  approach.

 1110  -­‐  Business  Continuity  and  Disaster  Recovery  for  MEDITECH  Client  Server  Environments  Presenter:    Stephen  Cellini,  CISSP  Organization:    Versaworks  Scheduled:    Wednesday  May  29  at  11:00  am    Abstract:    As  the  healthcare  industry  continues  its  rapid  adoption  of  EHR  technology,  hospitals  are  relying  on  their  health  care  information  system  (HCIS)  to  perform  their  day  to  day  operations  and  deliver  quality  patient  care  services.  The  mission  to  maintain  the  availability  of  MEDITECH  and  to  implement  disaster  recovery  has  never  been  more  critical  to  the  hospital  operation  and  patient  safety.    Traditional  downtime  procedures  that  rely  heavily  on  paper-­‐based  workflow  and  patient  record  retrieval  can  no  longer  meet  the  needs  of  hospital.  The  most  effective  solution  for  your  downtime  procedure  is  to  make  your  MEDITECH  system  highly  available  to  reduce  downtime  risk  and  implement  the  proper  disaster  recovery  mechanism  to  minimize  downtime  and  rapidly  return  to  normal  operation.      The  objectives  of  implementing  MEDITECH  disaster  recovery  and  business  continuity  measure  can  be  a  significant  effort  and  often  requires  intense  resource  and  capital  investment.  This  session  will  provide  an  overview  of  how  these  objectives  can  be  met  while  maintaining  a  higher  level  of  flexibility  and  agility  without  over-­‐provisioning  your  MEDITECH  infrastructure  and  heavily  burdening  your  IT  resources.    Topics  covered  in  this  session:  

• How  to  present  MEDITECH  Business  Continuity  planning  to  senior  leadership  • How  to  plan  and  conduct  a  test  MEDITECH  recovery  without  impacting  operations  • Maximizing  your  Storage  Area  Network  investment  • Using  Business  Continuity  environments  for  testing  upgrades  • We  initiated  our  Business  Continuity  Plan  –  now  what?    How  to  return  to  normal  operations?  

 Stephen  Cellini  is  the  Vice  President  of  Operations  at  Versaworks.  Steve  has  over  15  years  of  experience  in  Information  Security,  infrastructure  management  and  data  center  operations.  He  has  been  leading  the  Health  IT  Consulting  practice  at  Versaworks  centered  on  MEDITECH  infrastructure  optimization  and  disaster  recovery.  Steve  is  a  Certified  Information  Systems  Security  Professional  (CISSP)  accredited  by  the  International  Information  Systems  Security  Certification  Consortium  (ISC).        1111  -­‐  For  Your  Eyes  Only:    Best  Practices  for  Balancing  Privacy  and  Productivity  at  Memorial  Healthcare  Presenter:    Frank  Fear  Organization:    Memorial  Healthcare,  Owosso,  Michigan  Scheduled:    Thursday  May  30  at  11:00  am    Abstract:    When  it  comes  to  patient  data,  availability  inherently  conflicts  with  security.    Care  providers  need  fast  and  easy  access,  yet  HIPAA  and  other  privacy  measures  require  layers  of  protection.    Now  HIEs  present  further  challenges  by  asking  hospitals  to  share  data  that  has  been  safeguarded  with  a  passion  for  years.  Memorial  Healthcare,  a  HIMSS  Analytics  Stage  6  hospital,  has  taken  many  approaches  to  striking  that  balance  between  user  convenience  and  data  security.  In  this  session,  we  will  share  our

experience  with  solutions  and  techniques  that  have  satisfied  our  physicians  and  nurses,  and  allowed  us  to  sleep  at  night.      Topics:  

• Virtualized  personal  desktops  that  appear  and  disappear  with  the  tap  of  a  badge  • Walk-­‐away-­‐security  technologies  such  as  facial  recognition  and  fading  screen  locks  • 2-­‐factor  authentication,  when  a  password  is  not  strong  enough  • Fast  user  switching  at  shared  workstations  • Protecting  data  on  personal  devices  • Change  Management  techniques  for  a  diverse  base  of  technology  users  

 Frank  Fear  is  the  VP  IS  at  Memorial  Healthcare.        1112  -­‐  MEDITECH  Disaster  Recovery:    Real  World  Disasters  and  Key  Lessons  Learned  Presenter:    Chris  Welch  Organization:    BridgeHead  Software,  Inc.  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  10:00  am    Abstract:    As  healthcare  organizations  depend  more  and  more  on  applications  and  data  for  patient  care  and  day-­‐to-­‐day  operations,  backup  and  disaster  recovery  becomes  more  important.  In  this  presentation,  we  will  discuss  several  real  world  disasters  involving  healthcare  organizations  -­‐  what  led  to  them,  what  the  results  were,  and  how  the  customers  recovered  -­‐  or  didn't  recover.  We  will  discuss  key  lessons  learned-­‐  including  some  surprising  ones.  We  will  also  present  some  "best  practices"  for  protecting  healthcare  data  and  some  customer  designs  which  make  recovery  from  disasters  simpler  and  more  predictable.    Chris  Welch  is  an  expert  in  MEDITECH  Backup,  Archiving,  and  Disaster  Recovery/Business  Continuity.  In  his  visits  to  hundreds  of  MEDITECH  hospitals  throughout  North  America,  he  has  worked  with  all  of  the  recent  versions  of  MEDITECH  and  implemented  all  of  BridgeHead's  MEDITECH  solutions.  His  deep  familiarity  with  the  MEDITECH  ISB,  IDR,  and  MBF  processes  and  understanding  of  the  challenges  hospitals  face  has  added  value  at  hospitals  around  the  country.  Chris  also  architected  and  implemented  the  first  FileStore  for  MEDITECH  Scanning  and  Archiving  (SCA)  customers,  and  he  has  been  called  on  many  times  to  speak  about  SCA  in  front  of  hospitals  and  partner  organizations,  including  several  times  to  MEDITECH  staff  groups.  Chris  is  a  private  pilot  and  resides  with  his  wife  in  upstate  New  York.        1113  -­‐  R  UR  DOCS  TXTING?  Presenter:    Ed  Ricks  Organization:    Beaufort  Memorial  Hospital,  Beaufort,  South  Carolina  Scheduled:    Thursday  May  30  at  1:30  pm    Abstract:    Doctors  are  gravitating  towards  text  messaging  at  work  for  the  same  reasons  that  they  use  text  in  other  facets  of  our  lives  –  it  is  simply  faster  and  more  efficient  than  the  old  way  of  communicating.  Texting  allows  them  to  quickly  collaborate  with  the  care  team,  consult  with  specialists,  

Page 70: April 2 9 muse conference   educational presentations

receive  notifications  on  lab  reports,  check  patient  status,  and  more.  Texting  can  improve  the  speed  at  which  they  treat  their  patients,  raise  patient  satisfaction  and  increase  the  quality  of  care.    Yet,  traditional  texting  poses  a  serious  security  risk,  using  text  messaging  to  send  protected  health  information  (PHI)  violates  the  security  regulations  of  the  HIPAA  because  texts  are  sent  and  stored  in  clear  text  rather  than  encrypted.    HIPAA  requires  that  PHI  at  rest  and  in  transit  be  encrypted.    So,  often  hospitals  are  faced  with  either  forbidding  the  practice  of  texting,  or  turning  a  blind  eye.        Understanding  that  the  benefits  of  texting  were  far  too  attractive  to  hold  doctors  at  bay,  Beaufort  Memorial  Hospital  decided  to  face  the  challenge  head-­‐on.  They  began  piloting  a  secure  texting  solution  in  the  summer  of  2011  and  by  year-­‐end,  doctors  and  nurses  in  Cardiology,  Radiology,  Anesthesiology  were  communicating  and  collaborating  via  HIPAA  compliant  text  messaging.  In  this  session,  we  will  describe  the  progress  that  has  been  made  since  then,  explain  the  path  that  Beaufort  took  to  replace  pagers  with  text  messaging,  and  outline  the  processes  and  policies  that  worked  for  care  providers  and  IT  at  Beaufort  Memorial  Hospital.        Edward  D.  Ricks,  MHA,  is  the  Vice  President  of  Information  Services  and  Chief  Information  Officer  for  Beaufort  Memorial  Hospital  in  Beaufort,  SC.  Ed  has  over  20  years  of  health  care  information  systems  experience  working  for  four  health  systems,  with  more  than  ten  years  at  a  senior  level.      Ed  earned  a  Bachelor  of  Science  degree  in  computer  science  from  Central  Michigan  University  in  Mt.  Pleasant,  Michigan  and  a  Master  of  Health  Administration  degree  from  the  University  of  North  Carolina  in  Chapel  Hill.    Ed  was  selected  as  a  Premier  100  IT  Leader  by  Computerworld  magazine  in  2011.  He  was  selected  as  a  winner  of  the  “Game  Changer”  award  by  Health  Data  Management  magazine  in  December,  2011.  He  is  a  member  of  HIMSS  and  CHIME,  and  also  a  member  of  the  MEDITECH  6.X  Service  Advisory  Board,  Centurylink  Customer  Advisory  Board,  Imprivata  Customer  Advisory  Board,  and  the  Technical  College  of  the  Lowcountry  CPT  Advisory  Committee.          1116  -­‐  Equipping  Your  EHR  with  Integrated  Patient  Education  Resources  to  Achieve  Quality  Initiatives    Presenters:    Kathryn  Wohnoutka  and  Laura  Harter  Organization:    Citizens  Memorial  Healthcare,  Bolivar,  Missouri;  Truven  Health  Analytics  Scheduled:    Thursday  May  30  at  2:30  pm    Abstract:    Equipping  your  EHR  with  high-­‐quality  resources  to  deliver  effective  patient  education  is  essential  to  achieve  Meaningful  Use  (MU).    This  presentation  will  review  the  MU  objectives  related  to  patient  education  as  well  as  highlight  considerations  when  choosing  a  patient  education  vendor.    We  will  discuss  the  benefits  of  integrated  patient  education  as  it  relates  to  clinical  consistency,  time  savings,  decreased  risk  and  liability  and  enhanced  patient  engagement.  Finally,  we  will  share  implementation  best  practices  and  observations  from  an  acute  care  setting.    Kathryn  Wohnoutka  RN,  LAB/ITS/EDM/PD  Clinical  Systems  Analyst,  has  been  employed  by  Citizens  Memorial  Healthcare,  since  1995  and  has  been  involved  with  their  electronic  health  record  implementation,  as  well  as  CMH’s  2005  Davies  Award  and  HIMSS  Analytics  Stage  7  process.  Katie  has

1140  -­‐  Achieving  Patient  Privacy:  Lessons  Learned  from  the  Ongoing  Implementation  of  a  Provincial  Auditing  Solution  Presenter:    Linda  Levesque  Organization:    Guysborough  Antigonish  Strait  Health  Authority,  Antigonish,  Nova  Scotia  Scheduled:    Wednesday  May  29  at  1:30  pm    Abstract:      In  2008,  Nova  Scotia's  Department  of  Health  and  Wellness  (DHW)  and  10  District  Health  Authorities  (DHW/IWK)  identified  the  need  for  a  standardized  electronic  privacy  auditing  tool  that  would  improve  the  ability  to  audit  user  access  not  only  for  their  MEDITECH  Magic  &  CS  systems  but  across  all  their  applications  that  contained  electronic  health  information  in  order  to  protect  patient  privacy  and  maintain  public  trust.  In  seeking  to  implement  the  tool  across  different  health  care  organizations  and  clinical  applications  and  satisfy  various  legislative,  policy  and  funding  requirements,  it  became  increasingly  apparent  that  enhancing  privacy  auditing  capacity  involved  educating  people  and  enhancing  processes  as  much  as  delivering  the  technology  solution  itself.      In  this  educational  session,  we  will  discuss  the  lessons  learned  and  the  strategies  that  were  put  in  place,  before,  during  and  after  the  implementation  in  the  areas  of  people,  processes  and  technology  in  their  efforts  to  protect  patient  privacy.  Areas  we  will  address  include  determining  where  privacy  risk  management  expertise  exists  in  the  organization  to  determine  what  to  audit,  be  it  for  a  given  system  or  as  part  of  an  organization-­‐wide  privacy  risk  mitigation  strategy;  what  education  is  needed  for  system  users  and  auditors;  what  policies  need  to  be  put  in  place  and  processes  need  to  be  built  and  resourced  in  moving  from  a  purely  reactive  complaints-­‐based  auditing  model  to  a  model  that  now  includes  a  proactive  auditing  component.  Most  importantly  is  the  need  to  maximize  accountability  to  patients  and  the  Board  given  available  resources  and  legislative  or  policy  requirements.      Linda  Levesque  is  the  Manager  of  Health  Information  Services  and  Privacy  Lead  at  St.  Martha's  Regional  Hospital  and  the  Privacy  Lead  at  Guysborough  Antigonish  Strait  Health  Authority.  Her  career  began  in  accounting,  budget  analysis,  payroll,  and  management  in  the  seafood  and  manufacturing  sector.  After  approximately  15  years  in  the  accounting  field,  Linda  changed  careers  to  what  was  known  back  then  as  Health  Record  Science.    From  there,  she  relocated  to  New  Brunswick,  supervised  a  small  staff  and  had  her  introduction  to  MEDITECH  -­‐  Magic  -­‐  and  lawyers  and  patients.  Later,  she  accepted  a  position  as  a  Health  Data  Analyst  with  the  regional  hospital  in  Fredericton.    An  opportunity  presented  a  move  back  to  Nova  Scotia  after  nine  years  where  she  remains  today  with  the  Guysborough  Antigonish  Strait  Health  Authority  that  contains  five  hospital  facilities.  Linda  was  hired  as  the  Manager  of  Health  Information  Management  for  the  regional  site,  St  Martha's  Regional  Hospital  which  evolved  to  include,  Privacy  Lead  for  the  District  and  Decision  Support.  Privacy  is  a  complex  web  of  legislation,  policy  and  best  practice  and  compels  us  to  be  vigilant  and  accountable  in  the  security  and  protection  of  personal  health  information.    Learner  Outcomes:  

• Share  lessons  learned  from  the  experience  of  implementing  an  auditing  solution  across  a  District  Health  Authority  and  for  a  provincial  EHR    

• Enhance  awareness  of  the  role  that  user  access  auditing  plays  in  protecting  patient  privacy  in  healthcare  organizations    

• Ongoing  focus  on  a  privacy  risk  mitigation  strategy  involving  the  people,  processes,  and  technology  within  your  healthcare  organization

 1142  -­‐  Project  Management  Methodology  Smorgasbord  Presenter:    Terri  Cahill  Organization:    Healthtech  Consultants  Scheduled:    Wednesday  May  29  at  11:00  am    Abstract:    How  many  times  have  you  heard  “we’re  different”.  Well,  really,  we  are  all  different.  Every  organization  is  a  little  bit  different.  Every  department  is  a  little  bit  different.  In  that  same  way,  every  project  is  a  little  bit  different  and  every  project  manager  is  a  little  bit  different.  So,  doesn’t  it  stand  to  reason  that  project  management  tools,  techniques,  methodologies  are  a  little  bit  different  for  every  project?  Then  which  methodology  is  right?  Agile?  PMBOK?  PRINCE2?  I  propose  that  it  makes  sense  that  we  pull  a  mix  of  tools  and  techniques  from  various  methodologies  to  best  fit  the  differences  we  deal  with  on  every  project?      In  order  to  successfully  manage  eHealth  projects  into  the  future,  project  managers  need  to  expand  their  toolkit  and  embrace  these  differences  and  drive  change.  This  presentation  examines  the  various  sources  of  project  management  tools,  techniques  and  methodologies,  and  the  opportunity  to  pick  and  choose  to  build  the  best  toolkit  for  your  project.      Examples  of  projects  benefiting  from  the  application  of  specific  niche  project  management  techniques  will  be  examined  including  what  was  different,  the  techniques  applied  and  the  results  achieved.  Healthcare  project  managers  need  to  embrace  differences,  broaden  their  project  management  toolkit  and  combine  ideas  from  various  methodologies  and  bodies  of  knowledge  to  positively  impact  the  success  of  eHealth  projects.    Terri  Cahill  is  a  seasoned  information  technology  consultant  with  over  20  years  of  experience  in  the  health  care  sector.  Terri’s  areas  of  expertise  include  project  management,  performance  management,  and  application  consulting.  Terri  has  presented  internationally  on  strategies  for  successful  project  management.  Terri  is  certified  as  a  CPHIMS-­‐CA,  PMP  and  PRINCE2  Practitioner.  Terri  is  currently  providing  leadership  to  a  variety  of  client  projects  as  well  as  Healthtech’s  Project  Management  Office.          1143  -­‐  Is  My  Project  Red?  I  Think  it  Feels  Yellow?  Let’s  Put  Some  Science  in  Project  Status  Reporting  Presenter:    Terri  Cahill  Organization:    Healthtech  Consultants  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  11:00  am    Abstract:    We’ve  all  become  accustomed  to  interpreting  stoplight  coloured  status  reporting.  We  all  know  Green  is  good,  Red  is  bad,  and  Yellow  is  somewhere  in  between.  Wow,  doesn’t  that  tell  you  a  lot!    What  happens  in  your  organization  if  you  report  on  a  project  as  Red?  Do  you  just  get  a  whole  lot  more  work  to  do?      In  order  to  make  project  reporting  meaningful,  we  need  to:  

Page 90: April 2 9 muse conference   educational presentations

• Put  some  science  behind  the  colour.  We  need  to  clearly  define  and  agree  on  project  indicators  that  related  to  the  change  we  are  making  and  how  we  should  measure  them;  and    

• Teach  that  science  to  our  audience  so  we  can  communicate  project  status  effectively  and  encourage  the  kind  of  support  we  really  need.    

 This  presentation  will  examine  a  variety  of  project  indicators.  It  will  look  at  how  to  define  your  indicators  up  front,  how  to  measure  them  throughout  your  project,  and  report  on  so  the  process  is  easy  for  you  and  clear  for  your  audience.  In  short,  we’re  going  to  talk  about  meaningful  project  reporting.      That’s  just  one  side  of  it.  This  presentation  will  also  take  a  look  at  how  to  read  and  evaluate  project  status  reporting.  We’ll  take  a  look  at  some  real  life  examples  to  illustrate  how  various  project  status  reporting  methods  (science)  and  formats  (art)  can  support  delivery  of  meaningful  project  information,  and  help  get  the  support  a  project  needs.      I’m  sure  is  Green  ...  very  Green!    Terri  Cahill  is  a  seasoned  information  technology  consultant  with  over  20  years  of  experience  in  the  health  care  sector.  Terri’s  areas  of  expertise  include  project  management,  performance  management,  and  application  consulting.  Terri  has  presented  internationally  on  strategies  for  successful  project  management.  Terri  is  certified  as  a  CPHIMS-­‐CA,  PMP  and  PRINCE2  Practitioner.  Terri  is  currently  providing  leadership  to  a  variety  of  client  projects  as  well  as  Healthtech’s  Project  Management  Office.        1144  -­‐  The  Trouble  with  Normal:  Rethinking  IT  Services  Management  in  the  Cloud  Era  Presenter:    James  Fitzgerald  Organization:    Park  Place  International  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  11:00  am    Abstract:    IT  models  in  healthcare  are  historically  complex  hybrids  with  reactive  management:  I  need  this  for  that  system,  that  for  this  system,  and  oh,  and  don’t  forget  that  other  application  that  IT  is  only  allowed  to  “help”  with  when  it  breaks.  One,  two,  or  three  year  technology  management  plans  attempt  to  create  themes  and  some  semblance  of  order  underneath  the  chaos  but  are  subject  to  the  vicissitudes  of  government  regulation,  varying  user  adoption  rates,  and  unpredictable  growth.  Sometimes  the  technology  vendors  and  outsourcers  are  the  only  winners,  and  when  the  smoke  clears,  the  hospital  IT  staff  is  left  with  severe  systems  and  application  management  challenges.      Join  us  for  a  discussion  of  how  flexible  provisioning  models  that  view  applications  as  an  interconnected  set  of  services  offer  hope  to  stabilize  performance,  budgeting  and  daily  operations.  Move  away  from  static  models  of  cloud  as  an  “all  or  nothing”  proposition  to  thinking  of  the  hybrid  cloud  as  an  integral  extension  of  your  own  IT  services  platform.      Jim  Fitzgerald  is  Executive  Vice-­‐President  and  CTO  of  Park  Place  International  where  he  is  responsible  for  technology  solutions  strategy,  development,  and  quality  spanning  the  entire  Park  Place  portfolio  of  Technology  Integration,  Technical  Consulting,  and  Cloud  Services.    Jim  has  been  working  with  Information  Systems  since  he  crashed  the  Digital  Equipment  PDP-­‐8  at  The  Roxbury  Latin  School  as  a  Junior  in  1977  and  had  to  reload  the  binary  bootstrap  code  one  byte  at  a  time  from  the  front  panel  switches.  In  a  28  year  career  spanning  Microcom,  Internetwork  Systems,  JJWild,  Perot  Systems,  and  Dell,

Page 92: April 2 9 muse conference   educational presentations

• 6  -­‐  Provide  patients  the  ability  to  view  online,  download,  and  transmit  information  about  a  hospital  admission.  

• 12  -­‐  The  eligible  hospital  or  CAH  who  transitions  their  patient  to  another  setting  of  care  or  provider  of  care  or  refers  their  patient  to  another  provider  of  care  provides  a  summary  care  record  for  each  transition  of  care  or  referral.  

 Implementing  a  patient  portal  can  provide  the  ability  to  patients  to  access  their  chart  online,  but  also  provide  the  ability  to  download  a  summary  of  care  record.  It  sifts  through  the  various  requirements  and  explains  in  simple  language  what  a  hospital  must  do  to  implement  a  portal  that  is  easy  and  intuitive  for  patients  to  use  and  adopt.    Suma  Krishnaprasad  is  the  Director  of  Software  Development  at  The  Shams  Group  Inc.  As  the  Director  of  research  and  development,  she  is  responsible  for  the  entire  development  team  at  TSG.  Suma  works  closely  with  software  architects,  product  technical  leads,  product  managers  and  developers  both  off-­‐shore  and  on-­‐shore  to  manage  projects,  resources,  timelines  and  budgets.  She  has  lead  all  major  projects  for  this  organization  where  her  team  has  built  several  applications  on  various  platforms  starting  from  VB5/VB6,  Microsoft  SQL  server  6.5,  7.0  and  2000  and  now  the  team  currently  builds  web  applications  on  DotNetNuke  (DNN)  platform.    Suma  is  a  talented  Senior  Executive  with  comprehensive  experience  delivering  high  technology  solution  to  the  healthcare  industry.  She  is  able  to  mobilize  and  lead  technical  teams  of  engineers,  IT  specialist,  and  quality  assurance  experts  to  develop  new  software  programs.    Suma  holds  a  B.S.  degree  in  Computer  Science  and  Engineering  from  Bangalore  University,  India  (1996)  and  MBA  in  Healthcare  and  IT  from  the  University  of  Dallas  (2010).            1147  -­‐  MEDITECH  DR  –  Maintenance,  Data  Verification,  Resources  and  Usability  Presenter:    Zia  Shams  Organization:    The  Shams  Groups  (TSG)  Scheduled:    Thursday  May  30  at  1:30  pm    Abstract:    Hospitals  that  have  Data  Repository  (DR)  from  MEDITECH  will  require  policies  and  procedures  to  maintain  the  health  and  performance  of  the  repository  as  well  as  need  processes  or  software  to  verify  that  the  data  in  DR  is  accurate.  Many  hospitals  also  have  plans  to  upscale  and  enhance  their  DR  to  become  an  enterprise-­‐wide  DR  by  adding  data  from  other  vendor  Physician  Practice  Management  (PPM)  and  EMR  software  and  on  any  other  vendor  solutions.      MEDITECH  Data  Repository  or  the  enterprise-­‐wide  DR  can  further  add  tremendous  value  and  knowledge  for  the  hospital  when  it  is  used  to  introduce  dashboards,  Key  Performance  Indicators,  departmental  Data  Marts  and  analysis  cubes,  and  other  simple  to  complex  workflow  desktop  and  mobile  applications.    All  this  is  achievable  with  a  well  performing  DR  system.  This  will  require  the  hospital  to  acquire  appropriate  resources  and  skills  to  build  and  maintain  the  system  optimally.    The  following  presentation  will  address  these  questions  and  requirements  in  detail  by  reviewing  and  discussing:

   1156  -­‐  Strategies  to  Achieve  Stage  2  Meaningful  Use  Attestation  using  the  Emergency  Department  Presenter:    Robert  Hitchcock,  M.D.,  FACEP  Organization:    T-­‐System  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  1:30  pm    Abstract:    Only  47  percent  of  hospital  and  health  system  business  leaders  are  “somewhat  confident”  they  will  meet  stage  2  meaningful  use  (MU)  requirements,  according  to  a  recent  poll  by  consultancy  KPMG  LLP.  Thirty-­‐six  percent  said  they  were  confident,  4  percent  said  they  were  not  confident  at  all  and  11  percent  said  they  didn't  know  what  their  level  of  readiness  was.      Against  this  backdrop  of  industry  unrest,  the  speaker  will  explain  why  hospitals  should  consider  the  emergency  department  (ED)  an  important  part  of  their  enterprise  MU  strategy.  He  will  delineate  strategies  on  how  to  use  the  ED  to  achieve  compliance  thresholds  more  easily  and  quickly.    As  previously  done  with  stage  1,  many  hospitals  plan  to  comply  with  stage  2  using  their  enterprise  EHR,  believing  that  MU  is  singularly  an  inpatient  issue  and  thus  should  be  the  focus  of  their  MU  strategy.  However,  that  compliance  path  represents  the  more  challenging  and  time-­‐consuming  for  three  primary  reasons.  First,  adoption  rates  of  computerized  provider  order  entry  (CPOE)  in  the  inpatient  setting  from  40  to  70  percent  are  far  less  than  compared  to  the  nearly  100  percent  CPOE  adoption  in  the  ED.  Second,  the  inpatient  setting  generates  fewer  patient  visits  and  discharges,  making  it  more  difficult  for  the  hospital  to  meet  thresholds.  Whereas  the  ED’s  patient  volume,  albeit  fluctuating  depending  on  location,  incurs  the  majority  of  patient  visits  and  discharges,  which  eases  the  compliance  for  the  entire  organization  to  meet  the  higher  percentage  thresholds  of  stage  2.  Third,  the  ED  setting’s  singular  workflow,  dedicated  physician  staff  and  relatively  small  numbers  of  employees  and  contracted  physicians  can  lead  to  easier  change  management  and  monitoring  for  enterprise-­‐wide  compliance.    MU  allows  hospitals  to  choose  which  ED  patients  to  count  in  their  MU  data  through  one  of  two  ways:  1)  the  “all  ED  patients”  method  that  counts  all  ED  patients  and  all  patients  discharged  from  the  ED  for  which  follow-­‐up  care  is  expected  in  MU  denominators,  and  2)  the  observation  method  which  only  ED  patients  admitted  or  placed  in  observation  are  counted  in  denominators.  We  will  demonstrate  that  by  choosing  the  “all  ED  patients”  method  hospitals  have  documentation  for  85  to  95  percent  of  their  patients  in  their  EDIS.      As  opposed  to  a  standalone  hospital  system,  facilities  that  deploy  an  emergency  department  information  system  (EDIS)  equipped  with  CPOE  and  embed  discharge  instructions  into  their  ED  workflow  will  more  easily  meet  many  of  the  clinical  MU  requirements  that  concern  them  the  most.  Some  of  those  requirements  are  routinely  capture  electronically  by  EDs,  deemed  critical  to  patient  care  and  outcomes:  

• Using  CPOE  for  at  least  60  percent  of  all  medication  orders  and  for  at  least  30  percent  of  laboratory  and  radiology  orders.  

• Making  information  of  more  than  50  percent  of  patients  available  online  within  36  hours  of  discharge.  

• Providing  a  summary  of  care  record  for  more  than  50  percent  of  transitions  of  care  and  referral.  

Page 99: April 2 9 muse conference   educational presentations

• Recording  blood  pressure  (for  patients  age  3  and  over  only)  and  height  and  weight  (for  all  ages)  as  structured  data  for  more  than  80  percent  of  all  unique  patients  admitted  to  the  eligible  hospital's  or  critical  access  hospital’s  inpatient  or  ED.  

• Documenting  smoking  status  as  structured  data  for  more  than  80  percent  of  all  unique  patients  13  years  old  or  older  admitted  to  the  eligible  hospital's  or  critical  access  hospital's  inpatient  or  ED.    

• Performing  medication  reconciliation  on  50  percent  of  patient  visits    Another  benefit  of  focusing  on  emergency  department  patients  –  and  a  benefit  of  stage  2  in  general  −  is  that  it  offers  hospitals  additional  opportunities  to  address  interoperability  of  shared  clinical  information  between  best-­‐of-­‐breed  and  enterprise  EHR  systems.  Today,  for  example,  facilities  using  an  EDIS  to  share  information  in  a  discrete,  codified  fashion  with  the  inpatient  EHR  must  implement  costly  Health  Level  Seven  (HL7)  interfaces.    To  gain  stage  2  certification,  EHR  vendors  are  required  to  use  a  single  standard  for  electronic  data  sharing,  the  consolidated  Clinical  Document  Architecture  (C-­‐CDA).  They  also  must  reconcile  medications,  allergies  and  problem  list  elements  as  structured  data  from  C-­‐CDAs  received.  Equally  important,  transmission  standards  for  the  C-­‐CDA  are  well  defined  and  do  not  include  HL7.  Instead,  XDM  and  XDR  web-­‐based  standards  will  require  vendors  to  support  point-­‐to-­‐point  transmission  of  electronic  documents  without  requiring  unique  and  costly  interface  development  and  maintenance.  In  short,  EHR  solutions  certified  for  data  sharing  will  produce,  transmit,  receive  and  reconcile  data  contained  in  a  single  e-­‐document.      All  of  this  points  to  stage  2,  as  it  progresses,  as  marking  the  industry’s  first  real  foray  into  true  interoperability  and  a  truly  connected  healthcare  environment-­‐-­‐the  ultimate  goal.    Moreover,  the  impact  of  interoperability  mechanisms  will  reduce  and  eventually  eliminate  vendor  influence.  Decreased  technical  integration  difficulties,  declining  interface  build  costs  and  changes  to  the  vendor  certification  process  will  further  enable  hospitals  to  choose  specialty  systems  to  meet  their  clinical  and  business  needs.    As  T-­‐System’s  Vice  President  and  Chief  Medical  Informatics  Officer,  Robert  Hitchcock,  M.D.,  FACEP,  is  committed  to  advancing  EHR  adoption  and  healthcare  IT  public  policy  to  improve  the  quality,  safety  and  efficiency  of  emergency  medicine.  In  addition,  he  provides  counsel  and  guidance  to  clients  for  defining  strategies  to  address  these  issues  with  T-­‐System  services  and  solutions.  Dr.  Hitchcock  is  a  frequent  contributor  to  highly  regarded  industry  print  and  online  publications,  and  he  was  the  reader’s  choice  #3  pick  for  ONC  National  Coordinator  in  a  poll  conducted  by  Modern  Healthcare.  He  has  more  than  20  years  of  experience  in  healthcare  and  has  been  a  practicing  emergency  physician  for  more  than  a  decade.  Dr.  Hitchcock  serves  on  the  board  of  the  Emergency  Department  Practice  Management  Association.  In  2011,  he  earned  recognition  for  excellence  in  teaching  from  internal  medicine  residents,  and  in  the  early  2000s,  he  trained  basic  and  advanced  life-­‐support  EMS  providers.  Throughout  his  two-­‐decade  old  medical  career,  Dr.  Hitchcock  has  held  rising  physician  management  positions  at  many  institutions  leading  complex  IT  projects.  Dr.  Hitchcock’s  goal  is  to  advance  system  adoption  and  usability  skills  to  improve  the  quality  and  efficiency  of  ED  delivery.    Learner  Outcomes:  

• Understand  the  reasons  why  hospitals  should  consider  the  emergency  department  an  important  part  of  their  enterprise  MU  strategy.    

Page 100: April 2 9 muse conference   educational presentations

Building  interoperability  among  healthcare  systems  to  seamlessly  and  easily  exchange  information  in  near  real  time  is  critical  to  making  meaningful  improvements  in  healthcare  delivery.  The  combination  of  a  community  patient  index,  consolidated  medical  records,  network  connectivity  and  record  locator  capabilities  helps  achieve  this  goal  by  providing  the  ability  to  query  the  location  of  a  patient’s  health  records  and  retrieve  them  for  coordinated  patient  care.    This  approach  also  supports  the  aggregation  and  analysis  of  data  for  population  health  management,  medical  research  and  public  health  surveillance.  These  will  be  critical  elements  in  increasing  the  effectiveness,  quality  and  efficiency  of  health  care  delivery  in  support  of  Meaningful  Use  objectives.  For  Stage  2  Meaningful  Use,  eligible  hospitals  and  critical  access  hospitals  should  provide  a  summary  of  care  record  for  each  transition  of  care  or  referral.  The  target  objective  is  to  provide  these  for  over  65%  of  all  transitions  of  care  and  referrals.  More  than  10%  of  these  must  be  transmitted  electronically  using  Certified  EHR  Technology  to  a  recipient  with  no  organizational  affiliation  and  using  a  different  Certified  EHR  Technology  vendor  than  the  sender.  This  will  require  implementation  or  upgrades  of  existing  health  information  systems  in  many  cases  to  meet  these  requirements.  The  first  requirement  can  be  fulfilled  by  a  paper/fax  process.  However,  there  will  be  a  need  to  track  the  actual  nominator  and  denominator  for  reporting  the  MU  measures.  The  second  requirement  can  be  fulfilled  by  Direct,  a  point-­‐to-­‐point  interface  or  a  comprehensive  HIE.  Again,  statistics  on  actual  electronic  transmissions  must  be  collected  and  reported  for  MU  compliance.  In  both  cases,  patient  care  coordination  and  health  outcomes  can  be  significantly  enhanced  through  health  information  exchange.    Mike  Murphy  is  Director  of  HIE  for  Forward  Advantage  Inc.,  and  has  more  than  25  years  of  experience  in  information  technology  and  telecommunications.  Over  the  past  seven  years,  he  has  focused  on  the  application  of  these  tools  to  the  health  care  domain.        1172  -­‐  Successfully  Navigating  the  HIE  Landscape  Presenter:    Rick  Edwards  Organization:    Iatric  Systems,  Inc.  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  2:30  pm    Abstract:    Are  you  having  difficulty  figuring  out  which  way  is  up  or  down  when  it  comes  to  determining  how  to  proceed  with  participating  in  a  state  or  regional  HIE,  implementing  an  enterprise  HIE,  or  even  figuring  out  if  you  need  one?  There  are  so  many  different  definitions  and  types  of  HIEs.  For  example:    What  is  the  difference  between  a  public  and  private  HIE?  What  is  a  community  HIE?  Enterprise  HIE?  Is  HIE  a  noun  or  a  verb?  What  about  ACOs?  How  do  they  fit  in  with  an  HIE  strategy?  There  are  so  many  terms  and  descriptions  and  conflicting  information  about  what  an  HIE  is  and  why  you  may  need  one.      This  session  will  make  sense  out  of  the  confusion  and  give  you  tools  to  help  you  determine  what  kind  of  HIE  is  right  for  you.      We  will  show  you:    

• Comparisons  between  Public  and  Private  HIEs  • Differences  between  a  centralized,  federated,  and  hybrid  HIE  • How  an  HIE  can  help  with  an  ACO    

 Learn  how  to  navigate  this  complex  sea  of  HIEs  and  get  the  tools  to  start  you  in  the  right  direction.

 Rick  Edwards  is  the  Director,  Integration  Strategy  at  Iatric  Systems.  In  this  capacity,  his  primary  role  and  responsibility  is  to  formulate  and  oversee  the  company’s  strategy  in  regards  to  products  and  services  for  Health  Information  Exchange  (HIE).  Before,  joining  Iatric  Systems,  Rick  has  been  in  the  healthcare  IT  industry  for  nearly  30  years  –  mostly  in  CIO  or  IT  Director  roles  in  hospitals  or  health  systems.  Most  recently,  Rick  was  the  CIO  at  an  acute  care  community  hospital  in  Maryland.          1173  -­‐  How  Your  Peers  Reduced  Patient  Privacy  Breaches  Presenter:    James  Lawson    Organization:    Iatric  Systems,  Inc.  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  2:30  pm    Abstract:    Healthcare  institutions  are  at  greater  risk  of  falling  short  on  patient  privacy  compliance  than  ever  before.  HIPAA  has  the  requirement  for  organizations  to  map  where  their  Protected  Health  Information  (PHI)  is  located,  but  the  requirements  and  enforcements  under  the  HITECH  rules  are  getting  more  and  more  specific.  Greater  emphasis  is  being  placed  on  the  government  term  “reasonable  effort,”  knowing  whether  a  hospital  truly  assessed  the  risk  to  the  information  properly  and  is  taking  appropriate  measures  to  protect  PHI.        Implementing  a  successful  patient  privacy  program  requires  a  commitment.  Failing  to  implement  one  has  a  huge  cost.  Hospitals  face  severe  penalties  for  breaches,  including  financial,  criminal,  and  harm  to  reputation.  This  session  will  discuss  challenges  hospitals  are  facing  in  implementing  a  successful  patient  privacy  monitoring  program  and  how  your  peers  have  overcome  hurdles  by  using  industry  best  practices.    Case  study  discussions  will  include  how  hospitals  have  reduced  patient  privacy  breaches  such  as  reducing  medical  identity  theft;  eliminating  snooping  and  inappropriate  behavior,  and  protecting  their  hospital’s  reputation.      We  will  discuss  challenges  hospitals  are  facing:  

• Catching  inappropriate  behavior  such  as  snooping  and  medical  identity  theft  with  random  and  audits  that  are  not  comprehensive  

• Managing  the  increased  number  of  privacy  breaches  that  damage  a  hospital’s  bottom  line  and  reputation    

• Keeping  up  with  the  changing  HIPAA/ARRA  regulations  (breach  notification  rules,  penalties,  Meaningful  Use  rules)  

 We  will  discuss  success  stories  highlighting  how  hospitals  are:

Paulette  Di  Angi,  PhD,  RN,  CPHQ  is  the  Chief  Clinical  Information  Officer  and  Vice  President,  Product  for  the  Institute  for  Health  Metrics.  She  migrated  into  Nursing  Informatics  from  a  strong  clinical  care  and  quality  measurement  background.  She  has  served  as  the  Director  of  Health  Care  Quality  at  Newton  Wellesley  Hospital,  a  member  of  the  Partners  Healthcare  System,  and  the  Executive  Director  of  Psychiatric  and  Mental  Health  Services  for  Cape  Cod  Healthcare.  She  has  also  served  as  an  AVP  of  Provider  Relationships  and  Contracting  with  CIGNA  Healthcare,  an  AVP  of  Nursing  at  Valley  Hospital  and  Director  at  Hamot  Medical  Center.    Dr.  Di  Angi  received  her  PhD  in  Nursing  from  Case  Western  Reserve  University,  her  Masters  in  Psychiatric  Nursing  from  the  University  of  Iowa  and  her  BSN  from  Villa  Maria  College.  She  has  a  Certificate  in  Management  from  Smith  College  and  has  been  a  Malcolm  Baldrige  Examiner  with  the  Mass  Excellence  Center.    For  entertainment  she  has  a  spice  and  rubs  business  on  Cape  Cod,  is  an  international  award-­‐winning  vintner  and  is  chef  and  host  of  two  Cape  Cod  TV  Channel  99  cooking  shows.  Her  website  contains  updates,  hints  and  all  the  recipes  prepared  on  the  show.    Learner  Outcomes:  

• Objective:  Understand  the  subtle  career  move  for  the  quality  professional  from  quality  measurement/performance  improvement  to  informatics.  Take  Away:  Stage  2  delivers  more  standards  and  more  data  elements  than  Stage  1.    The  quality  professional  must  manage  and  leverage  technology  more  than  ever  before  in  order  to  succeed  in  compliance  with  Meaningful  Use  Stage  2.    This  shift  begins  to  move  the  quality  professional  directly  into  the  field  of  informatics,  whether  he/she  is  aware  of  it  or  not.  

• Objective:  Evaluate  the  changes  that  Stage  2  will  precipitate  in  their  organization.  Take  Away:  Stage  1  and  the  CEHRT  pushed  technology  first  followed  by  workflow.  If  the  technology  was  there,  at  times  the  workflow  didn't  always  have  to  be.  However,  Stage  2  demands  an  expanded  use  of  technology  that  is  built  upon  effective  workflows.    In  this  case  if  the  workflow  isn't  in  place,  the  technology  will  not  be  able  to  support  compliance.  

• Objective:  Calculate  next  steps  in  planning  for  Stage  2  implementation  at  their  hospital.  Take  Away:  A  key  to  success  in  Stage  2  is  planning  for  implementation  given  all  the  changes  in  the  requirements.  Estimating  the  planning  steps  for  their  organization  given  an  overview  of  Stage  2  is  a  critical  next  step  in  preparation  for  Oct,  2013  implementation.

1184  -­‐  CMS  and  Standardization  –  Better  Together  Presenters:    Kelly  Moxon  and  Cindy  Willis  Organization:    Santa  Rosa  Consulting  Scheduled:    Thursday  May  30  at  1:30  pm    Abstract:    You  are  faced  with  the  task  of  telling  your  physicians  that  they  have  to  give  up  their  way  of  documenting  and  they  will  conform  to  the  “IT”  way  of  doing  it.    You  are  telling  the  MD’s  how  to  do  their  jobs,  how  to  practice  medicine,  how  to  deliver  care  AND  that  they  now  have  to  do  a  secretary’s  job  and  enter  the  orders  in  the  computer.  To  top  it  all  off  you  have  multi-­‐facility  and  multi-­‐state  sites  to  standardize.  Well,  good  luck  with  that.  We  will  share  our  experience  with  utilizing  Corporate  Management  Software  (CMS)  to  implement  your  next  MEDITECH  release.    Bring  your  players  to  the  tables  to  develop  a  charter  that  includes  the  scope  of  the  project,  define  an  approval  process,  escalation  process,  and  work  out  process  and  design.  The  challenge  is  to  standardize.    Many  facilities  feel  that  they  have  defined  the  best  process  for  order  sets  and  documentation,  whether  it  is  online  or  on  paper  templates.  To  ask  them  to  undo  what  they  have  defined  and  rework  their  current  process  is  frustrating  to  those  involved  in  the  project.    80%  CMS  standardization  and  20%  site  customization  allows  for  flexibility  and  physician  ownership  of  the  system.    Developing  this  balance  is  the  key  to  success.  The  defined  custom  dictionaries  can  be  either  region  or  site  specific.    Change  management  will  be  a  challenge  for  the  customized  dictionaries  as  the  sites  may  not  follow  the  regulations  defined  by  the  project  approval  process    Training  the  physicians  will  always  be  complicated  because  physicians  have  greatly  varying  computer  skills.  Some  feel  that  entering  orders  is  a  meningeal  task  that  may  be  beneath  them.  More  importantly  studies  have  shown  that  it  is  more  difficult  to  bring  about  change  to  the  educated  professional,  especially  those  in  the  health  profession.  It  is  thought  that  the  heath  care  professional  truly  believes  that  they  are  doing  the  very  best  for  their  patient.  To  suggest  such  radical  change  suggest  that  they  are  indeed  not  do  the  best  for  their  patient;  therefore  they  resist  the  change.  It  is  your  task  to  teach  physicians  to  recognize  the  benefits  of  the  system  and  to  understand  the  positive  impact  of  change.    Provide  them  with  the  support  needed  as  they  adjust  during  training  and  implementation.    If  you  have  successfully  given  your  champions  the  ownership  they  need  and  if  you  have  a  support  system  for  your  physicians  your  project  will  be  a  huge  success!    Kelly  Moxon,  RN  is  a  licensed  nurse  in  the  state  of  Texas  for  15  years.    She  has  worked  in  Med/Surg,  Telemetry  and  ICU.    She  has  been  in  health  care  IT  for  11  years  and  has  supported  several  MEDITECH  implementations/optimizations  as  an  applications  analyst  and  process  analyst.    She  has  completed  a  CMS  standards  implementation  with  6  regional  implementations  and  is  currently  working  on  another  multi-­‐facility/multi-­‐state  CMS  implementation.    Cindy  Willis,  RN  is  a  licensed  nurse  in  the  state  of  Texas  for  over  20  years.    She  has  been  in  health  care  IT  for  16  years  and  10  years  of  MEDITECH  consulting.  She  has  successfully  implemented  magic,  C/S  and  6.0  advance  clinical  module  applications.  She  has  presented  in  MUSE,  HIMMS  and  written  various  articles  for  Dell:  Inside  Perspective.

1192  -­‐  What's  Up  Front  Counts  Presenter:    Karla  Gebo  Organization:    Cornerstone  Advisors  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  2:30  pm    Abstract:    Learn  how  to  identify  problem  areas  within  the  Patient  Revenue  Cycle  process,  what  to  do  with  this  information,  and  how  to  proceed  with  implementing  change  within  the  organization.    Often  there  are  sufficient  resources  to  optimize  the  Revenue  Cycle  process,  but  the  resources  are  not  in  the  optimal  positions  in  order  to  be  successful.  Often  all  of  the  work  effort  is  focused  in  the  Billing  Office  to  "try"  and  collect  money  for  services  already  rendered  rather  than  working  the  process  from  the  beginning  and  assuring  that  there  will  be  a  high  percentage  of  clean  claims  that  will  go  out  that  will  be  paid  without  additional  work  effort.    The  more  the  rules  change  around  healthcare  reimbursement,  the  more  it  will  become  critical  for  healthcare  providers  and  organizations  to  review  how  they  run  their  business.  The  Patient  Revenue  Cycle  "life"  within  an  organization  provides  great  insight  as  to  how  prepared  that  organization  is  to  look  closely  at  itself  and  implement  change  where  it  is  needed  in  order  to  maximize  the  revenue  generated.    How  can  you  make  your  Patient  Revenue  process  the  best  in  the  business,  and  actually  collect  the  revenue  from  services  that  you  are  already  providing  for  free?  What  does  true  Revenue  Cycle  optimization  involve  and  how  can  reallocating  resources  make  your  organization  more  money?  Where  to  start,  who  to  involve,  and  where  to  look  for  the  money?    What  tools  does  MEDITECH  provide  to  assist  with  this  optimization,  from  Magic  to  6.0?  Anyone  involved  in  Scheduling,  Admissions,  Charge  Entry,  Coding,  Billing  and  Collections,  Revenue  Cycle,  strategy  or  planning  will  benefit  from  this  presentation.      Karla  Gebo  has  over  20  years  of  experience  in  the  healthcare  industry  with  Revenue  Cycle  Management  with  12  of  those  years  in  Information  Services.  She  has  extensive  experience  with  managing  teams  of  varying  skill  sets,  software  implementation,  training,  process  analysis  and  redesign,  policy  and  procedure  development  and  implementation,  and  HIM  Scanning  and  Archiving  implementations.  Karla  possesses  strong  skills  as  a  clinical  test  analyst  for  various  medical  software  systems  and  has  experience  with  Project  Management  Methodology.          1193  -­‐  Revenue  Reconciliation  –  From  Charge  Capture  to  Validation  Organization:    Dell  Services  Presenter:    Jeanette  Frank  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  1:30  pm    Abstract:    The  successful  implementation  of  all  information  systems,  as  well  as  the  financial  health  of  any  organization  depends  on  the  appropriate  capture  of  patient  charges.    Often  there  seems  to  be  some  communication  breakdown  in  terms  of  what  is  meant  by  “Revenue  Reconciliation”.    As  a  result,  there  is  confusion  as  to  what  to  do.    Accountability  for  revenue  moves  to  each  department  as  opposed  to  a  

Page 122: April 2 9 muse conference   educational presentations

more  central  office.  Thus,  users  of  MEDITECH  must  understand  how  to  enter  charges  and  how  to  ensure  what  they  entered  is  moving  through  the  system  correctly.    When  you  attend  this  session,  you  will  learn:  

• The  significance  of  mapping  charge  procedures  • Concepts  and  procedures  for  reconciling  revenue  • Common  breakdown  points  on  revenue  validation

1195  -­‐  Successful  Build  and  Optimization  of  OE  Order  Set  Build  Presenters:    Pam  Herrick  and  Casey  Jepsen  Organization:    Vision  Consulting  Scheduled:    Friday  May  31  at  2:30  pm    Abstract:    This  presentation  will  explore  the  topics  surrounding  a  successful  build  and  optimization  of  OE  Order  Sets  from  a  Non-­‐Med  and  Med  perspective.    Outline:  

• Review  the  work  efforts  needed  to  build  OE  Order  Sets;  discuss  both  facility-­‐based  and  evidence-­‐based  types  for  both  non-­‐med  and  med  build.  

• What  is  the  Order  Set  Build  Philosophy?  Starting  with  and  modifying  Order  Sets  or  building  facility  defined  order  sets?  

• How  to  establish  a  consistent  look  and  feel  of  the  OE  Order  Sets  -­‐  Using  a  streamlined  content  design  approach,  removing  content  that  might  be  standard  of  care,  reduce  number  of  medication  choices  (beta  blockers,  antibiotics,  items  that  are  therapeutically  subs  or  Non-­‐Formulary).    

• Discuss  the  important  of  “governance”  of  the  order  sets  with  an  affective  evaluation/change  control  process  -­‐  How  facilities  can  effectively  use  the  governance  committee  to  improve  the  quality  of  the  order  sets;  by  using  the  members  (SME,  providers,  nurses  and  pharmacists)  to  clean  order  sets.  Discuss  the  governance  of  adding  new  order  sets  with  emphasis  on  every  order  set  added  not  only  must  be  built,  but  maintained  in  the  future  and  how  it  affects  current  and  future  resource  needs.  

• Discuss  changing  workflow  for  Providers,  Pharmacists  and  Nurses  -­‐  Discuss  how  workflow  changes  and  culture  changes  such  as;  looking  to  a  status  board  or  other  electronic  indication  for  new  orders  rather  than  a  physical  chart  across  departments;  Using  reports  to  review  how  long  before  an  order  is  acknowledged;  holding  staff  accountable  for  facility  determined  goals;      Recommend  starting  culture  change  of  acknowledging  orders  from  status  board  as  long  before  go  live  as  possible.    Explore  the  importance  of  strong  physician  partnership,  leadership  and  engagement  with  an  emphasis  on  communication.  

• Discuss  implantation  success  factors  -­‐  Discuss  the  importance  of  training  and  support;  Completing  Order  set  reviews  by  SMEs  and  physicians  prior  to  go  live.    

• Discuss  Lessons  Learned  -­‐  PHA  formulary  changes  do  not  update  the  order  sets,  unless  the  sets  are  refilled.    Setting  Favorites  -­‐  the  pros  and  cons;  Nurse  Communication  -­‐  necessary  but  ends  up  being  a  “catch  all”  and  orders  don’t  make  it  to  appropriate  departments;  Activity  -­‐  having  multiple  procedures,  one  for  each  activity  type  results  in  multiple  activities  being  ordered  on  same  patient,  may  be  better  to  have  just  “Activity”  with  CDS  to  indicate  type.
