HIT vs. EHR
• Health information technology (HIT): a general concept that describes the technology that supports management of health information for many purposes
• Electronic health record (EHR): is a specific set of applications that provide an “electronic record of health-related information on an individual including patient demographic and clinical health information, such as medical history and problem lists, and has capacity to provide clinical decision support, support physician order entry, capture and query information relevant to health care quality, and exchange electronic health information with and integrate such information from other sources” (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009)

• Encompasses broader view of a health record moving from notion of a location for keeping track of patient care events to a resource with enhanced utility
• Merely automating the form, content, and procedures of current patient records will perpetuate their deficiencies and will be insufficient to meet emerging user needs
Institute of Medicine:Computer-based Patient Record: An Essential Technology for Health Care, 1991, 1997
• Longitudinal collection of electronic health information for and about persons; immediate electronic access to person- and population-level information by authorized, and only authorized, users; provision of knowledge and decision-support that enhance the quality, safety, and efficiency of patient care; and support of efficient processes for health care delivery
Key Capabilities of an Electronic Health Record System, 2003
EHR

• Electronic medical record (EMR) sometimes refers to:– Physician office EHR
– Hospital document imaging system
– Non-interoperable record of health-related information
• EHR is term used by:– Federal government, including in HITECH
– Institute of Medicine (IOM)
– Health Level Seven (HL7) • Primary organization to develop interoperability in health care information
systems; adopts the term EHR system
– Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT)

Purposes of EHR• Improve quality of care: data availability, links to knowledge sources
• Enhance patient safety: context-sensitive reminders/alerts, clinical decision support, automated surveillance, disease management, drug/device recall
• Support health maintenance: preventive care and wellness - patient reminders, summaries, tailored instructions, remote evaluation, home monitoring
• Increase productivity: data capture and reporting formats tailored to user, streamlined workflow support, patient-specific care plans and protocols
• Reduce hassle factors: improve satisfaction for clinicians, consumers, and caregivers - managing schedules, registration, referrals, medication refills, work queues, automatically generating administrative data
• Support revenue enhancement: accurate and timely eligibility and benefits, cost-efficacy analysis, clinical trial recruitment, rules-driven coding support, accountability reporting/outcomes measures, contract management
• Support predictive modeling: contribute to development of evidence-based health care guidance
• Maintain patient confidentiality: as health information is securely exchanged among all stakeholders, including across the continuum of care and with individuals

Glossary of Terms
CCR/CCD Continuity of care record/document – standard data content/transmission to send for referrals
CDR Clinical data repository – database optimized for processing patient transactions, e.g., posting vital signs
CDSS Clinical decision support system – software that processes discrete data according to logical rules to provide reminders and alerts
CDW Clinical data warehouse – database optimized for translational data analysis, e.g., data mining
CPOE Computerized provider order entry – system that provides CDS at the point of order entry
Discrete (or structured) data = individual values of data that are entered via templates and which are computable; e.g., patient blood pressure; lab result; name of medication; in contrast to unstructured scanned images, narrative notes, dictation
EDMS Electronic document management system – document imaging, email, efax, and other digital document (e.g., dictation) storage and retrieval
E-MAR/BC-MAR Electronic medication administration record (forms)/bar-code MAR for positive patient identification
eRx Electronic prescribing system – supports drug selection & transmits prescription to retail pharmacy
Human computer interface = data entry devices, such as workstations, tablets, slates, speech recognition, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and smart phones
LIS Laboratory information system that manages operations of a clinical laboratory
O/E Order entry system used by nursing staff to transcribe handwritten orders
PACS Picture archiving and communication system – for x-rays and other clinical images
POC Charting Clinical documentation at the point of care, using clinical practice guidelines/critical pathways and CDS
PHR Personal health record – patient contributed data in many forms
PMS/HIS/PFS Practice management system/Hospital information system/patient financial services – applications for operations, e.g., scheduling, admitting, billing, etc.
RIS Radiology information system that manages operations of a radiology department

Reality of Today/ Vision for Tomorrow• An EHR is a system that
– Collects data from multiple sources– For use in clinical decision making– At the point of care
• This definition is elusive for many organizations today• This definition is primarily focused on care delivery.
Little demand from providers/supply of product to date for:– Various reporting functions – for quality, P4P, population health– Health information exchange functionality– Personal health record (PHR) support

Implementation vs. Adoption• Implementation –
software and hardware installation, system build, testing, training, go-live
• Adoption – users using system to achieve benefits
• “EHR Half Life”– Half of all who ponder do
something about EHR– Half of all who sign a
contract implement EHR– Half of all who implement
EHR• Implement all components• Achieve full use• Use all functionality
Goal of HIT Toolkit is to help you achieve full adoption
