Abstract

The discussion around HIE is moving beyond models, funding, and governance to:

“How do we keep docs from Fishing for data?”

“Why isn’t information from the ambulatory record available in the hospital?”

“How do we know when our patients are in the hospital?“

And ultimately – “How can HIE help us work as an efficient team?”

HIMSS initiated research on the topic of “Enterprise HIE” in the summer of 2012.  We interviewed independent groups, hospitals, and IDNs in order to draft a working definition of Enterprise HIE, understand its goals and challenges.

This 60 minute webinar will walk through the results of our research, and introduce you to Occam, an integration solution that keeps disparate EMRs up-to-date for shared patients.

Agenda

1. Results of the Enterprise HIE research

2. Brief introduction of the Enterprise HIE phase 2 project

3. Introduction of Occam

4. Q & A

Presenters

Lee Prosch, Tony Nuzzo, and Angelica Vander Aa of Prosch

Please register now to join us at 10:30am Central Time.

“Now I see value in EMR”

It took almost eight years to get through my skull how important, and how different, EMR integration is for docs that are on the same team. It sunk in during a demonstration of one of my all-time favorite projects.

The presentation started with a pregnant Mom’s first OB visit captured in the Ambulatory EMR, and finished with her history being automatically plugged into the Labor and Delivery system when she presented at the hospital. It was the first time that the OB and L&D teams were together in the same room to see the fruit of their labor (ha), and it was pretty exciting to witness. If it weren’t for the look and feel differences, you would be hard-pressed to tell they were four different EMRs from four different vendors.

It was one of the senior docs that said the words – “Now I see value in EMR.” These guys had mammoth investments in ambulatory and hospital EMRs, but as long as data from one EMR had to be manually pecked in and double entered in the next, they were overhead.

Whichever healthcare model grows up to take the place of the one we have, it’s a pretty good bet that it will be team based, and that EMR patient data will be one of the raw materials that will fuel it. EMR integration for docs that are on the same team is different – neither your docs nor your patients will buy that you are on the same team if faxes and portals are a big part of the solution.

Lee Prosch will happily talk your ear off about Enterprise HIE – Integration for groups and hospitals on the same team, but different EMRs.

He is a member of HIMSS Enterprise HIE work group and recently led a research effort to define the concept, it’s goals, and challenges.

He is the Managing Partner for Prosch, a healthcare integration technology and consulting company started in 2005.

Prosch is excited to announce the development of Occam!

Occam is a simple approach to inpatient/outpatient EMR integration. It’s job is to keep EMRs up to date for shared patients of healthcare provider organizations and their trusted partners without having to leave the EMR.

Occam is just-in-time patient linking (or eMPI) software that links charts spread across inpatient and outpatient EMRs only when there is a need, such as transitions of care.

Prosch Celebrates National Health IT Week
September 10-14, 2012

Abstract

This 90 minute webinar is an introduction to HL7 and Clinical Sytems integration focused on establishing a basic understanding of the way HL7 interfaces support clinical workflow. We will present the structural elements of an HL7v2 message. We’ll also look at how integration is progressing, specifically around HL7v3 (CCD) and health information exchange.  Finally, we’ll talk through what you should think about when considering an integration project, including the benefits of considering BizTalk Server 2010 for healthcare integration.

Agenda

1. Review of the HL7 interfaces behind a typical emergency department encounter
2. HL7 Interfaces commonly supported by EMR, HIS and other clinical applications
3. HL7 version 2 message structure
4. Next generation integration – beyond point to point interfaces
   • Health Information Exchange (HIE)
   • Enterprise master person index (eMPI)
   • HL7v3 Continuity of Care Document (CCD)
