IT & MU ChangesFor Clinical Staff & Providers
Dr. Henderson and Machelle
Today’s Goals:Discuss changes within the practice- Meaningful Use- Tasks and Patient Portal- Changes to Referrals- Converting more charts.- Risk Assessments
Meaningful Use(The reason for all of the changes.)
-We must make changes to our workflow in order to meet Meaningful Use.
-We are in Stage 1- more changes are needed for Stage 2.
Meaningful UseSoon, (Date to be announced)- we will begin a “90 Day Reporting Period”- in which we must meet the criteria we discuss today.
As we make changes to the way we document, I will be doing daily checks so MU goals are met.
Why is this important?
QIC Demonstration
Tasks: Clarifications-Complete tasks that can be seen on the patient portal that were done in the office. (ASQ & MCHAT)
-Informational Handouts (Car Seat Safety, Nutrition, Developmental, etc.) can be left so the parents can review.
Changes to ReferralsIn order to meet MU- we needed to change the way we document referrals. Most of the changes will only effect LB and CB.
All “incoming” referrals go to Ladonna.
Handout: What is an incoming referral?
Changes to ReferralsThe providers will be checking their schedules in order to “Review” scanned referral notes and “Completing” the referral after medication reconciliation.
Converting More ChartsEffective July, 2nd 2012 all well visits will be converted, regardless of age.
The process will be similar to what we are currently doing- but we have tried to make it easier for the providers and the clinical staff.
Converting More ChartsThe following will always be scanned in:-Hospital Summary (Birth)-Green Lab Sheet & Attached Labs-Well Checks-Intake Sheet
Converting More Charts
What do we enter before the patient comes in?
- 5 Years and Under- Stays the same.- 6 Years and Up- Follow Guidelines.
Converting More Charts-Providers will assign ICD9 codes to problem list diagnoses.
-Prematurity needs to be on the problem list.
Risk Assessments
Every EMR patient.
Risk AssessmentsUnder 12- ask if they are exposed to 2nd hand smoke. (You already ask this.)
“Does anyone in the home smoke even if they only smoke outside?”
Risk Assessments12 & Up- Ask if the patient smokes, and if anyone in the home does.
“Do you, or anyone in your home smoke,even if they only smoke outside?”
