Public Health Information Role

• "The #1 product public health provides to customers is

information.” John Lumpkin, Former Director, Illinois Department of Public Health

• Public Health Informatics has been defined as the systematic application of information and computer science and technology to public health practice, research, and learning (Patrick W. O’Carroll, MD, MPH)

• Public health is extremely broad and might even reflect an interest in information technology with regard to ecology, architecture, climate, agriculture, and such.

• American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA)

KALHD 6-19-12

Public Health in a


• A number of prestigious organizations have advocated for

a transformation in health and healthcare by the next

decade. Integral to this transformation is the

migration from the disease-based to a health-based

model of care and a learning health system, in

which

All persons have access to care,

The population’s health can be measured objectively,

and

A digital infrastructure promotes healthy lifestyles and

enables more efficient and effective care delivery. (NCVHS Shaping a Health Statistics Vision for the 21st Century-Final Report November 2002)

• The health-based model/learning health system, is important for public health because it emphasizes health promotion and disease prevention and

• It enables public health to play a greater role in supporting the nation’s healthcare system and assuring the public’s health —the very tenets for which the sector stands

IIS, Interoperability and

Meaningful Use

CDC releases (ARRA) Funding Enhancing the Interoperability of Electronic

Health Records (EHR) and Immunization Information Systems (IIS)

35 Grantees receive funding to develop interfaces between their IIS and

provider EHR systems.

KS WebIz

Immunization Information System-IIS

• KSWebIZ-the statewide immunization registry, is a web-based centralized birth to death database that maintains complete, accurate, and secure immunization records for all Kansas residents.

• Various methods of connection are enabled: Data entry via web interface into native application-ability to access all

functionality on a record by record basis

Bi-directional access via KIPHS, Insight for LHDs

Uni-directional or bi-directional interface to selected provider EHRs- Office Practicum, for example.

Bi-directional interface to 14 FQHCs through KHIN (enabled by grant)

Developing one-off interfaces is time consuming, expensive

Providers now being encouraged to report via HIE- moratorium on further individual interface development

KALHD 6-19-12

19

KS WebIz Immunization Information System-IIS

• Meaningful Use-Stage 1

• Some already connected providers have attested

• Exclusion letter to postpone attestation without penalty is posted for

use by all providers

• Providers will benefit by reporting MU via HIE as standardized

formats and use of appropriate standards will be supported

• Reporting by MU eligible providers will be helpful but not sufficient

by itself to greatly increase number of immunization records in

KSWebIZ

• Use of DIRECT not recommended for reporting to KSWebIZ

Not bidirectional

Will not support other KSWebIZ functions

KALHD 6-19-12

20

KS WebIz Immunization Information System-IIS

• Provider Participation in KSWebIZ No legislative requirement for providers to report

Provider participation is voluntary

Participation of an individual may be opted out even if provider is reporting

• Potential impact of reporting via HIE Reduce need for individual interfaces- HIE will parse and translate messages to send

to KSWebIZ

Will support provider Meaningful Use reporting (if applicable)

Will increase the volume and accuracy of the immunization information

Will populate reports by county and zip code level for greater local immunization program support and community assessment

• Future Issues HIE is opt in or opt out- not selective opt out. May reduce IZ records which the patient

does not otherwise object to

HIE may wish to support other IIS functions such as decision support, reminder recall instead of KDHE or

Providers might decide the MU reporting is enough and not use other functions

Incremental roll out of HIE may extend period of provider non-participation

Lab Interface Improvement

Challenge

There is a lack of harmonized specifications standards and code sets to enable the exchange

of lab results. The cost and time to initiate new electronic laboratory results interfaces

hampers broad adoption of such interfaces. The field by field details of HL7 v2 implementation

guides used by clinical labs and EHRs vary, creating a need for mapping or configuration per

interface, and the prevalence of core subsets of LOINC codes for common tests and analyses

also varies, causing downstream issues in decision support and quality reporting.

Scope Statement Limited to address this challenge for the subset of lab reporting to primary care (internal medicine,

family practice, pediatrics)

Target Outcomes • Achieve cost savings of up to 90% due to lab interface development improvements by 2015

• Reduce total lab interface implementation time by up to 20% by 2013

Meaningful Use

Alignment

Incorporate lab results into EHR as structured data

Related Use

Cases/Stories

• Electronic Health Record (Laboratory

Result Reporting) (ONC/AHIC)

• EHR Lab Scenarios (ONC/AHIC)

• Laboratory sends lab results to ordering provider

(NHIN Direct)

22

Surveillance at KDHE

• Moving to Epi-Trax from EDRS

Will be able to accept laboratory reports

electronically- previous system required

manual data entry

• Currently testing Electronic Laboratory

Reporting (ELR)

Exploring hospital labs, then reference labs

Providers do not perform ELR, only Hospitals

KALHD 6-19-12

23

Electronic Laboratory Records

• More problems with lab standards,

vocabulary, coding in KS and nationally

ONC working to get ELRs on board

No incentives to exchange

Some states piloting using Surescripts

Utility of DIRECT for lab results not known-

KDHE looking at other states

KALHD 6-19-12

24

Electronic Laboratory Records

• KHIN and LACIE certified to do business in KS

• Currently in 30 day patient notification for July 1

start date.

• HIEs are engaging partners themselves.

• Some labs do not have the ability to exchange

• LHDs want to get the results sooner but need to

support the state infrastructure

KALHD 6-19-12

25

Syndromic Surveillance

Challenge

The overall adoption rate for syndromic surveillance is extremely low, yet meaningful use

requirements demand an increased level of surveillance reporting. There is a direct need for a

simplified way of reporting standardized data to appropriate public health authorities that will

enable meaningful use requirements associated with surveillance to be fulfilled. It is

debatable as to whether providers can meet existing and future surveillance requirements

with the current implementation guidance available.

Scope

Statement

Develop a syndromic surveillance service specification to be used by vendors to deploy a

standardized syndromic surveillance service within their infrastructure

NOTE: This initiative would complement the work conducted by ISDS and CDC to develop Stage 1

meaningful use recommendations for syndromic surveillance. The ISDS recommendations are

available for public comment and review at :

http://www.syndromic.org/uploads/files/ISDSRecommendation-PROVISIONAL_vFINAL.pdf

Target

Outcomes

• Increase syndromic surveillance reporting by 10% by 2013

• Increase syndromic surveillance data collection response times for at least 2 conditions by 20%

Meaningful Use

Alignment Provide electronic syndromic surveillance data to public health agencies

Related Use

Cases/Stories

• Public Health Case Reporting (ONC/AHIC)

• Hospital or provider send chief complaint data to

public health (NHIN Direct)

• Laboratory reports test results for some

specific conditions to public health (NHIN

Direct)

Syndromic Surveillance at KDHE

• BioSense now in Open Source

• KDHE participating at CDC

• Working on decision support

• Syndromic data reporting by providers

• Information is available to LHDs, but seems to

be of low value

• Priority on Syndromic surveillance- an effect of

Bioterrorism

KALHD 6-19-12

27

Role of HIE in Surveillance/ELR

• Meaningful use reporting does not change the legal

reporting requirements of notifiable diseases/events, etc.

• KDHE will provide the infrastructure for MU reporting

whether directly from LHDs, providers and hospitals or

via the HIE.

• KDHE is working with KHIN to establish the portals,

security to interact with the HIE

• The HIE will act to simplify provider reporting and make it

more efficient which will increase the frequency and

volume of reports and provide a more robust data base

for state and local use.

Public Health Role in HIE

• KHIN- extensive information on website

• KDHE Public Health Role in HIE

KDHE = public health infrastructure of HIE

Portals for bi-directional reporting for surveillance,

immunizations

Support for meaningful use public health measures

• LHD options for connecting

Point to point bidirectional to KDHE Portal(s)

Via interface to LHD system-KIPHS or Insight (FQHCs

via interface with Success EDS)

Via Emdeon EHR Lite to HIE

LHD Challenges

• KIPHS, Insight, Emdeon- choices to make-

• Upgrade, replace, supplement

• Which applications to move and with what priority

• Resource constraints

• Budgetary

• Staff- skills, training, capacity

• Leadership- commitment

• Community partners

• Priorities/ Strategic planning

KALHD 6-19-12

33

LHD Challenges

• What is value proposition for your department to connect

to KHIN?

• Can you identify “Use cases”?

What is the “low hanging fruit”-

(note:- a critical success factor for the learning health system is

“a galvanizing health concern”)

Smoking is still a problem in KS- (17% , 22ND rank)

• Who would be your community partners?

Are there any health coalitions- Izs, Diabetes, etc?

Do you have a Medical Home or Medical Neighborhood project

in your jurisdiction?

KALHD 6-19-12

34

Data Management & Data Quality

Challenges

• Is your LHD engaged in any of the standards efforts for

public health data?

• Do you use systems that have an index/algorithms for

name matching and deduplication?

• If your LHD does not operate an FQHC or family medical

center, how do you think you could use the HIE to share

clinical information with client/patient’s private providers

or hospitals?

• What are the consent/privacy considerations that would

govern such transactions and how would you manage

them

KALHD 6-19-12

35

Data Management & Data Quality

Challenges

• Do you have policies and procedures for personally

owned mobile devices such as smart phones and pads

brought to the office? (BYOD)

• Have you thought about how you will incorporate and

manage data obtained from social media and mobile

technology with standard and required data reporting to

your department?

• Do you have adequate opportunities to provide Local

Health input into state and national discussions?

KALHD 6-19-12

36

Finale!!

• LHDs worry about their continued relevance in the face

of low budgets and low political esteem for government

functions

• The goal of providing quality healthcare for all, while

bending the cost curve, can not be achieved without a

local public health role, doing the functions they do best.

• LHD participation in KHIN can facilitate collaboration,

particularly with the health delivery and payment system,

to improve both the health and care of the population.

• Many more detailed materials, including a HIT

Landscape vocabulary and those referenced in the

presentation, have been posted on your website.
