place for connectivity to occur

when provider performs certain actions (i.e., closing the chart)

– If sending HL-7 Messages, please trigger each type of message sent by your organization

– It should reach HIN through the VPN or Web Services.

Updates: Substance Abuse Protection & Qualtity Measure

ReportingKatie Sendze, Program Director

20

Three Substance Abuse Questions to Explore

Question # 1:

Do you provide services that are subject to 42 CFR Part 2 Protection?

If “no”:

HealthInfoNet will not “block” or shield any of your data outside the current MH/HIV Consent Model.

If “yes”:

Proceed to the next question…..

21

Three Substance Abuse Questions to Explore (continued)Question #2

You provide services that are subject to 42 CFR Part 2 Protection. How do you manage Part 2 Data within your EHR?

Question # 3

How will you/vendor prevent this data from being sent to HIN (how is it blocked/managed on the vendor side)?

22

Answers Lead to Blocking Options

Key examples for discussion:

•For HL7 v3 vendors using CDA messages- is it all or nothing for patients with SA data?

•Do you include SA data in your CDA?

•HL7 2 vs. HL7 3

•Can SA be blocked by data type?

23

Establishing a Quality Measure

• SIM Goal: Using HIE as a tool towards quality measurement and reporting.

• SIM Initiative Participant Requirement: Participate in the discussion and decision making process for establishing the quality measure and process.

24

SIM Quality Measure Timeline

• October, 2015: HIN needs to begin receiving data to support the end goal of Quality Measurement

• October, 2014 to October, 2015: We will establish small “Quality Workgroup” of subject matter experts to serve as the lead for developing the guidelines and measure options that will used for Milestone 3.

25

Introducing the Quality Measure Workgroup

• Representation from a variety of populations (child/adult etc.)

• Seeking eight participants

• Meet monthly beginning in October-October, 2015. (Note: group will have input to structure and process once established.)

26

Frequently Asked Questions

27

FAQ: Education Requirement

• Could I get some clarification as to the requirements for meeting the milestones for Training & Education?

• Do we just have to submit a training Plan for Clients and Staff or, does HIN expect some sort measurement indicating the numbers for Staff/Clients trained as well as the training plan?

32

FAQ: Opt-In/Opt-Out

• We’re under the assumption that all client data will go to HIE and that folks will opt out. Is this how the process will work?

33

HealthInfoNet Consent Policy• Maine law requires HealthInfoNet follow an opt-out consent

policy

• This policy was originally written in 2007 with input from stakeholders representing patients, providers, employers, payers, and government

• Consumers opt-out online, on paper, or over the phone

• Consumers opt-out once for all care locations at which time their clinical data is deleted, not just hidden

• Patients can opt back in,* however their records will start from that day forward. The system does not go back

*This will not include protected information, the patient must consent for this separately

FAQ: Opt-In/Opt-Out

• If we’re not accessing behavioral health information from other agencies, do we need to have clients sign the Opt-In Forms?

35
