that this will be your quest as well. I recognize the new ideas you have, the knowledge and abilities to make this an even better environment, and the effort to work collaboratively with all your vendors to make everyone’s role more fulfilling. Therefore, I am content as well. Content to pass on to you what was started so many years ago. Please handle this responsibility with passion, with commitment, and with pride. Enjoy this MUSE event … it is only one of many that MUSE organizes for you. Yes, organizes, because the purpose of MUSE is to bring you together, but YOU provide the content and the environment of sharing and caring. You and your involvement make this possible. Our vendor community has exceptional tools and exceptional people with the knowledge to assist you in developing and maintaining an EHR that is both functional and beneficial. MEDITECH continues to listen to you. They listen, so they can enhance their products and provide leadership and guidance through the current regulatory requirements as well as the many requirements to make your workflows efficient and realistic. Please participate in all the demonstrations and educational sessions provided by the vendors present at this event. And, provide feedback to them, so they can continue to make necessary improvements. This year’s International MUSE conference will have some changes in format and agenda. We hope you will appreciate the thought and effort put into these changes. Our CEO, Alan Sherbinin will share these with you during his opening remarks. These changes were made in response to what many of you have provided as suggestions for improvement – yes, we listen! Our MUSE staff does an excellent job of ensuring all goes smoothly at these and our other events occurring throughout the year. So, enjoy, learn, interact, share, socialize, and retain what you experience here so you can share it with others within your organization, with others within your communities, and most of all, for the benefit of your patients. MUSE rocks!!! Sincerely, Jean Olsen Chairperson, 2014 MUSE Board of Directors

MUSE EVENT FAQs How do I prepare for the MUSE Event? • Review the session schedule and highlight sessions which are of particular interest to you. Consider selecting a back-up session, and be aware of the similarities or differences of the presenting site and your facility. • Develop a goal or theme for your attendance to help organize your time and inform your session choices.
What should I wear? • Attire is business casual, but remember to select comfortable options (shoes, jackets, etc.).
What should I bring? • Bring your business cards with you. You will meet lot of new people! • Print and bring along your event schedule and location maps / directions so you can become familiar with the conference location.
Is there a glossary of terms? • Session numbers o 1000 level sessions = Educational presentations o 500 level sessions = Product demonstrations o 700 and 800 level sessions = Workshops • Peer Group – An informal education and networking session focusing on a specific MEDITECH module. The meeting is hosted by a volunteer Peer Group Leader. Such meetings offer more opportunities for discussion and networking than a typical educational session. • Show & Tell – A component of a Peer Group Meeting where users can demonstrate their achievements and innovative solutions of a certain module through brief presentations. • JAM Session – A component of a Peer Group Meeting featuring dedicated module discussion time. • Site Visit – An off-property tour - usually to a local hospital - during a MUSE Event. Site Visits typically include presentations, discussions and tours of the site. • Summit – A half-day or full day session involving multiple presentations focusing on one topic. • MUSEO - A bingo-like game played in the Exhibit Hall. Collect stickers on your MUSEO game card by visiting participating exhibitors. Great prizes are awarded during the Closing session!
What can I expect during the MUSE Event besides education sessions? Networking • Consider joining a table for meals where you don't know anyone. • When exchanging business cards, write a reminder on the back so you will recall the significance of the contact person. • Networking is a valuable intention of the MUSE experience. Don't feel you must cut a conversation short just to get to a session. Sometimes a networking encounter is more useful than a session. • Ask for clarification if you feel lost in conversation; you are probably not alone. • Attend social events if possible, because these can be important opportunities for networking. Exhibit Hall • Visit the Exhibit Hall. The commercial members have a wealth of information and knowledge to share. • Participate in the MUSEO game – it’s a variation on Bingo. The game is played in the Exhibit Hall. All you need to do is collect stickers on your MUSEO game card by visiting participating exhibitors. Great prizes are awarded during the Closing session! • Bring your business cards to the exhibit hall for networking. Also, commercial members often provide draws and prizes.

2014 INTERNATIONAL MUSE CONFERENCE MUSE International Education Exchange (IEE)
The International Education Exchange (IEE) contest is an exciting opportunity to share presentations with peers globally. Each year at the International MUSE Conference, qualified finalists are judged and the winner enjoys an all-expense paid trip to present at the MUSE EU Conference in the United Kingdom. The MUSE EU conference stages a complimentary competition to judge presentations and reward a winner with a trip to the International MUSE Conference. Thus, the ‘exchange’ of international education! Initiated in 1999, the IEE contest has enhanced the quality of MUSE conference presentations. Past winners speak fondly of the overall experience – it is both professionally and personally rewarding. Five presentations are vying for this year’s prize: a trip to Liverpool, UK to present at the 2014 MUSE EU Conference on September 17-18.

Plus, attend this winning IEE presentation from last year’s MUSE EU conference … Setting the Pace with MEDITECH: A Solution for Implantable Cardiac Device Documentation Session: 1084 Presenters: Nissar Hussain and Vigneshwaran Cumareshan Organization: HCA International, London, UK
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 1:30 pm
Abstract: In May 2011, IT&S Applications at HCA International were approached to look at a solution for our Cardiology Departments which would be used at our hospitals to capture Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD)/Pacing device information. The Department’s intention was to purchase an off the shelf solution, the cost of which would be approximately £300K ($500K) to implement and £30K ($50K) annual maintenance fee. Prior to this project, users were faced with the following: • Poor data quality • Non-cohesive work flow process • Lack of reporting • Patient data fragmented across multiple databases • No ability to print forms and patient pacing information cards • Protracted processes to submit data to Central Cardiac Audit Database (CCAD) Under the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, all hospitals are expected to provide Heart Disease Audit Data to the CCAD, as part of the National Clinical Audit Support Programme (NCASP). IT&S Applications were approached to review the possibility of implementing this proposed solution. The question was put forward “Why is MEDITECH not being considered as a solution?” After initial scoping what began as a straight forward data collection, utilising a Customer Defined Screen became an in-depth, cross module solution that would streamline and standardise work processes across all facilities. This presentation looks at the journey taken to provide a fully MEDITECH-based solution for storing, reporting and exporting data.

Conference Program 2014 MUSE INTERNATIONAL
Using fragments with the NPR report writer is the “MEDITECH Approved” method of crossing from one application to another, particularly for the Magic platform. Unfortunately, fragments carry a substantial performance penalty and it gets cumbersome to have your logic spread across multiple reports. With some knowledge of Do loops and prefixes, you can use programming to cross applications rather than fragments, keeping all your code in one report and avoiding the substantial performance penalty of fragments. In this session, we will show you how to open any application and use indexes and looping to get your data in a very efficient manner, and keep all your code in one place.
TUESDAY TRAINING
703 - Crossing Applications without Using Fragments (Magic and Client Server

706 - DR Reporting Made Easy with Report Builder 4.0 If you have MEDITECH’s Data Repository (DR), you already have all the tools you need to successfully develop a Business Intelligence (BI) environment at your facility. Jump-start your BI functionality with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS) using Report Models and the easy-to-use Report Designer tool. This ad-hoc query tool allows non-technical end users to develop reports on the fly using a drag and drop, web-based reporting tool that is intuitive, flexible, and requires minimal knowledge of the underlying database structures and relationships. This workshop will demonstrate the ease of use and powerful report capabilities of SSRS’s Report Models. Efficient BI reporting starts with well-designed SQL Report Models. We will review how raw MEDITECH DR data is transformed into the SSRS Report Models which are the foundation on which Report Builder 4.0 functionality resides. We will review how to build and deploy models using the Model Designer, then dynamically create, execute and manage reports. We will also educate you on how the Report Builder tool allows non-technical staff to develop, enter formatting and layout features, and deploy web-based reporting solutions without involving the IT department. Finally, we will discuss how easy it is to implement and maintain secure access to reports using your Active Directories groups and the SSRS Report Manager. If you own a MEDITECH DR and you have not implemented SSRS Report Models, you are underutilizing a powerful BI opportunity that you already own.

10x Your Influence Emily Hoffman, MD, Senior Master Trainer, VitalSmarts
Change efforts fail when leaders narrowly look for a single cause behind their persistent problems and then try to implement quick-fix solutions. On the other hand, influencers succeed because they understand that most problems are fed not by a single cause, but by a conspiracy of causes. They merge multiple sources of influence into a strategy that can overpower even the most persistent and resistant problems. In a recent study published in MIT Sloan Management Review, VitalSmarts researchers found that those who combine all Six Sources of Influence are ten times more likely to succeed at producing substantial and sustainable change. Learn a step-by-step strategy for exponentially increasing your power to change your greatest and most persistent challenges. Emily Hoffman, MD, has built her career on a strong educational foundation. She received a Medical Doctorate degree from the University of Utah and a Masters of Business Administration from the Marriott School of Man¬agement at Brigham Young University.

More Revenue and an Improved Happy-Meter – A Trans-Disciplinary Plan that Improved Provider Satisfaction AND Revenue Often physicians in an office setting are "on their own" after the initial training. This is how a system looked at physicians who were down in revenue and satisfaction and brought a broad-based team to look at their office and operations to help them better use their EMR. The result: improved revenue and less unhappiness. - Dr. Larry Losey, CMIO, Parkview Adventist Medical Center, Brunswick, Maine

I Hope So! Our organization in cooperation with other community partners, provide patient care at Hope Clinic. The Hope Clinic and Pharmacy is a free community initiative providing healthcare access to people in nearby counties. To qualify, clinic patients must: • • • •
Suffer chronic diseases of high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and/or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Be below 150 percent of the federal poverty level Not be eligible for Medicaid or Medicare Lack private health insurance
Our clinic/pharmacy has provided nearly 5,300 clinic visits and nearly $675,000 in prescriptions to low-income, chronically ill patients who lack insurance. With the exception of a paid office manager and a nurse practitioner, the clinic is staffed by an all-volunteer army including volunteers for clerical and technical duties, nursing, other ancillary services, and social work. Our clinic has been featured in a video by the Office of the National Coordinator for the use of data from the Kentucky Health Information Exchange in taking care of patients. Our clinic also received the 2013 NOVA Award from the American Hospital Association. All visits are documented in MEDITECH PCS and follow the Meaningful Use measures for collecting demographic information, smoking status, etc. Patients are seen both on an individual basis and in group sessions. Significant reductions in A1C and cholesterol levels have been noted for many of the patients in the group settings. Our patient satisfaction rate is consistently above 96%. - Becky Blevins, Ephraim McDowell Regional Hospital, Danville, Kentucky

Doctors Driving! Magnolia Regional Health Center began its CPOE/PDoc implantation as a voluntary implementation. A pilot group of physicians began the project on go live and the rest of the medical staff strongly encouraged to join. Approximately half of the medical staff received their training over a six-month period before the initiative stalled. During this time the hospital Board of Trustees and Administrative personnel did not want to force any physician into using CPOE/PDoc because they wanted it to be a physician-driven project. A hybrid environment of paper charts and the electronic health record developed. As the medical staff progressed through the project it became apparent that without peer to peer accountability the project would not progress further. The Medical Executive Committee recommended that all physicians be required to use the EHR, as well as, held accountable for their participation. Use of the system by each physician is measured by a monthly utilization review that includes Meaningful Use metrics. These metrics are reported to the physician by the Ongoing Physician Practice Evaluation Committee and a plan of action is developed by each head of specialty and non-complaint physician as to how to improve the physician’s utilization. As a facility and a project the transition has been made from little to no physician engagement or ownership of the process to a project where success is monitored by and physicians held accountable by their peers. - Mallory Brown, Magnolia Regional Health Center, Corinth, Mississippi

Peer Group Leaders (PGLS) and Show & Tell Presentations and JAM Session Topics
SHOW&TELL JAMSESSIONS
A Show & Tell is a quick presentation that demonstrates some achievement and innovative solution. Show & Tell sessions are designed to be short, informative sessions in the peer group meetings where ‘users teach users’. It can be as simple as a quick online demonstration, a handout of a unique report, a straightforward PowerPoint show, or just a speech that explains a helpful tip or trick. A Show & Tell presentation can be interactive with the audience and it should generate good discussion.
A JAM session provides informal dedicated networking time for the peer group participants. Peer group meetings strive to focus on networking, education, and solutions. During the JAM session, the peer group leader will facilitate discussions on a variety of ‘hot’ topics.

Is There a Cost Justification for RFID/RTLS Temperature and Device Tracking in a Small Hospital Environment? Session: 1003 Presenter: Charles Still Organization: Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, Bennington, Vermont
Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 10:00 am
Abstract: Southwestern Vermont Medical Center is a 99-bed hospital which implemented temperature monitoring for some 50 refrigerators and piloted location tracking (RTLS) for 10 items of equipment in 2013. In 2014, the scope was expanded to more than 100 temperature and 300 RTLS items including Bladder Scanners, Smart Pumps, CPU beds, Telemetry monitors, and many more items. This presentation will review the results of the project, and review utilization statistics of the device tracking pilot. We will also share how a quick response implementation of temperature monitoring allayed a Joint Commission finding, along with other results of utilizing the technology. Charles Still is an Information Systems Project Manager at Southwestern Vermont Healthcare and founder of the software company PatientSafeRx.com. He was part of the team presented with the 2011 Waypaver Award for Bedside Barcoding. His work has been published in the Journal of Healthcare Information Systems and Patient Safety and Quality Healthcare. His 2011 HIMSS International BPOC presentation was awarded the "best educational session of the conference" by Mr. HIStalk. He has presented at numerous conferences in the US, UK and Canada. Charles serves as the Dean of Programs for the UnSummit University series of Monthly Web Education events on BPOC. Learner Outcomes: • Identify cost savings opportunities location and temperature monitoring may bring. • Explicitly identify targeted applications that may provide value in a small healthcare setting. • Utilize benchmarking metrics to validate potential cost savings. • Learn effective strategies for communicating savings potential to the C-level leadership team. Post lecture questions: • There is a lot of hype surrounding RFID in healthcare, what are key technology questions that must be answered to effectively assess the final cost of proposed solutions, in terms of accuracy and staff FTE allowances? • What are the limitations / advantages of active vs passive RFID solutions? • What are the key considerations necessary when implementing this technology?

Supporting Low Frequency Users of Computerized Patient Order Entry (CPOE) Session: 1009 Presenters: George Gellert, MD and S. Luke Webster, MD Organization: CHRISTUS Health, Houston, Texas
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 11:00 am
Abstract: Consultants and physicians affiliated with multiple hospital systems infrequently generate patient orders at any single facility. With the advent of Computerized Patient Order Entry (CPOE), these physicians must commit to memory the navigation of multiple CPOE software modules, and may resist adoption. Continuing use of paper orders presents a risk to patient safety because they may be missed or delayed. We present data on the number of physician low frequency users (LFUs) at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa hospitals by month, day of week, shift and facility, and the options developed for hospitals to assist such physicians in using CPOE and eliminating use of paper orders. George Gellert, MD, MPH, MPA is the Regional CMIO for CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health in San Antonio, TX responsible for ensuring superior execution of informatics launches and performance in five hospitals and two self-standing EDs. He trained in pediatrics and epidemiology and has served in industry, NGOs and the non-profit sector as well as government and the United Nations. S. Luke Webster, MD is Vice President and System CMIO for CHRISTUS Health. He is responsible for the Health Informatics function across the entire CHRISTUS enterprise and over 40 facilities. Dr. Webster trained in psychiatry and served previously in health information leadership positions at Kaiser Permanente and other leading healthcare delivery institutions. Learner Outcomes: • Describe the CHRISTUS Health Santa Rosa method for identifying a threshold for defining physician low frequency users (LFUs)of CPOE, and using quantitative analyses of patient care orders issued by physicians at three hospitals (over 1500 credentialed physicians) within the CHRISTUS Santa Rosa region of CHRISTUS Health, convey the magnitude of LFU physician presence in hospitals. • Examine patterns of patient care orders issued by CPOE Low Frequency User physicians over the first four months of 2013, assessing month to month variation, day of week variation, shift of day variation, and variation between facilities. • Review six CPOE support options to provide at the elbow assistance to Low Frequency User physicians without undermining the clinical decision support, safety and other benefits of CPOE, and move toward the complete elimination of paper orders. These options may generalize to other hospitals across the nation. Post lecture questions: • Which of the following contributes to the existence and number of physicians who generate patient care orders with low frequency at many hospitals? o Physicians may be multi-system affiliated and challenged with learning and committing to memory multiple different EMRs and CPOE modules o Certain physician specialties, and in particular consultants, may generate orders infrequently or only make recommendations for care to the attending physician without generating specific orders. o Hospitals may have large hospitalist groups who generate most of the care orders for patients. o All of the above may contribute to large numbers of physicians who generate orders with low frequency. • Which of the following is NOT an appropriate and safe option for managing physicians who infrequently generate patient care orders? o Assign a hospitalist or mid-level trained on CPOE to generate orders on behalf of a LFU physician. o Expand the duties of unit ward clerks trained as CPOE super users to provide at the elbow assistance to a LFU physician when entering orders in CPOE, with the physician interpreting and acting upon all decision support alerts. o Enable a nurse to enter orders on behalf of a LFU physician after the physician writes the orders and gives them to a nurse and leaves the unit. o All of the above are appropriate and safe options for managing LFUs. • True or False: In the analysis of orders generated by LFU physicians at three CHRISTUS Santa Rosa hospitals, there were large variations in the generation of clinical care orders by day of the week or shift of day.

Implementing Biometric Patient ID and MEDITECH's Outreach Module for a Long-Term Care Facility Session: 1010 Presenters: Sandra Swanson Organization: Swedish Covenant Hospital, Chicago, Illinois
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 1:30 pm
Abstract: Laboratory testing in a hospital setting can provide significant benefits to patients, providers, and LTC facilities as compared to testing performed by an independent laboratory. Patients have LTC test results integrated into a medical record that covers a broader continuum of care. Providers get results more quickly, because they can be uploaded to a practice EHR, autofaxed, or accessed through the HIS. LTC facilities do not have to manage reporting to providers. The laboratory is challenged to ensure positive patient ID and manage its pre-analytical processes in an efficient and cost-effective way. This presentation will report on the experience of implementing a biometric patient ID system and the use of MEDITECH’s Outreach module to improve patient safety and the customer experience. Sandra Swanson is the Transfusion Service Manager and LIS support in a community hospital laboratory. She has been a MEDITECH user since 1992 and volunteered in multiple roles with MUSE, including a current member of the MUSE Education Committee. Learner Outcomes: • Describe basic principles of biometric identification in the context of this project • Identify project goals and expectations • Describe elements of implementation planning Post lecture questions: • How does biometric identification enhance patient safety? • What impact does pre-collection registration have on test turn-around-time? • Name any two elements of implement planning.

Striving for Excellence: Maintaining Quality and Integrity of the MEDITECH NUR Online Documentation System Session: 1013 Presenters: Laura-Lynne Lobo Organization: Guelph General Hospital, Guelph, Ontario
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 1:30 pm
Abstract: It has been proven that the quality of the care that is provided to patients does depend upon the integrity, reliability and accuracy of the patient record (AHIMA, 2012). With more and more of clinical documentation being completed within the Electronic Health Record, focus must be placed on errors that can result in data being lost or incorrectly entered, displayed, or transmitted, leading to loss of information integrity (Sittig & Singh, 2011). Benefits of electronic documentation cannot be denied as they include improved efficiency of data capture, timeliness and legibility of information, consistency and completeness. However, when electronic systems are used inappropriately without proper education and controls, it can lead to inaccuracies and errors which can then impact the level and quality of the care that we are providing to our patients. Maintaining the integrity of the MEDITECH NUR and a third-party online documentation system is integral, from the involvement of front line staff and professional practice in the development of any new or revised documentation, to the education that is provided to new and returning staff, to the maintenance of historical screens. Supporting end users through identification, corrections to documentation, and remedial education in error prevention is also important. This presentation will be focusing on how Guelph General Hospital handles the above aspects of the online documentation systems including templates or standardized documentation screens and clinical decision support tools. We will be including the benefits of implementing standardization and support tools, but will also cover the clinical impact of improper usage. Also, this presentation will cover the measures that the organization has put into place to monitor and maintain the online documentation systems.

Improving EMR Adoption, Utilization and Analytics: Working Towards Obtaining Stage 7
Methodology/Approach: Taking into consideration the factors limiting EHR adoption and the key focus for the design and implementation, our organization chose to align the Clinical Informatics portfolio under the Professional Practice umbrella. This strategic alignment ensured that clinical practice and patient care needs were the focus for functionality design, build and implementation of the EHR. As we continue to develop our team and processes we have developed a structured work plan focused on: • Adoption/Utilization • Education/Knowledge Translation • Risk Management/System Integrity/System Maintenance As an evolving organization we are now in a phase where our access to clinical data is growing exponentially. The challenge associated with taking data and turning it into knowledge and then using this knowledge to support patient care, research and practice – required us to develop structures and strategies to cope with the increasing complexity of clinical knowledge and information. Development of the Hospital Information Systems Operations Committee and Data and Information Stewardship Committee have resulted in a consistent, streamlined and responsive approach to managing system change and data requests. Findings/Results: The creation of a key change management processes and committees has enabled a structured process for all stakeholders to review ongoing organization and clinical changes that impact the electronic system. Using both the HIMSS Stage 7 EMRAM Criteria and the Canada Health Infoway Benefits Evaluation Framework we have created evaluation metrics supporting the development of health informatics competencies throughout the organization. After reviewing our evaluation criteria our team has developed a number of strategies focused in the following key analytical areas: • Closed Loop medication Management • CPOE utilization by MD’s • Use of clinical data and system analytics to support quality care Conclusions/Implications/Recommendations As organizations continue to move forward with implementing electronic records it is critical to focus on sustainability in order to support adoption and utilization of these system in a meaningful way. Our organization believes a commitment to using the EMRAM as a benchmarking tool ensures organizations are invested in using electronic systems in an effective and efficient manner to support quality patient care.

Medication Reconciliation Team after CPOE Go-Live Session: 1025 Presenters: Janine Francovich and Patricia Egetoe Organization: Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital, Valencia, California
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 1:30 pm C/S
Abstract: Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital went live with house-wide CPOE October 15, 2013. The physician’s workload increased. Before October 15, the nurses, doctors and pharmacists all handled the paper home medication list. Nursing compiled the list, the admitting doctor reconciled it and the pharmacy made sure the medications were available to administer to the patients. After the Go-Live, the pharmacy no longer entered the orders from the faxed paper orders. The computerized orders were entered directly by the physician. The doctors ended up getting a list of medications that the computer did not recognize. The Medication Reconciliation process needed to be overhauled, the decision was made to build a Medication Reconciliations List Team composed of Pharmacy Technicians. Their primary responsibility is to provide the doctors with a clean admission Medication Reconciliation list. We are also training them to assist the doctors in the order entry process and help with discharges.

When Gremlins Take Over ... Provisioning MEDITECH Access Session: 1026 Presenters: Michele Banks Organization: Cook Children's Health Care System, Fort Worth, Texas
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 1:30 pm C/S
Abstract: In the film, Gremlins, the caretaker was given three simple instructions to follow in caring for the Mogwai. Failing to follow the care instructions led to chaos and gremlins run amuck. Provisioning MEDITECH security can easily turn into a chaotic free for all without standardization and documented setup instructions. Our facility lacked documentation or standardized setup instructions. This absence of documentation lead to new staff frequently starting with incorrect module access or none at all, staff with the same job often had different menus, and/or staff were missing reports critical to performing their job. Our staff were frustrated by the inability to perform their job functions and our IS support staff were spending far too much time resolving access issues that were preventable. This presentation will focus on how to reclaim security setup from the chaos and develop a system of standards that ensure all staff have the correct access on Day 1. (Examples will be presented CS 5.6 without MEDITECH Payroll module.) In the first hour, attendees will learn the following: • To define and create role based access based on position and not staff preferences • Modification strategies to include staff users in modifying and standardizing current roles • How to perform quality checks that ensure the correct access on Day 1 • Methods of lowering IT maintenance thru standard menus and reduction of personalization of module access groups and menus • Practical examples of documentation and menu build strategies In the second hour, attendees will learn the following: • Instructions on creating and modifying custom NPR reports to ensure accuracy and quality of provisioning • Practical instructions on utilizing Microsoft Access and Data Repository for documentation of role based access • Exploration of unique issues in setup of providers Michele Banks RN, is Senior Business Systems Analyst at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas. She has supported CPOE/POM as well as a variety of other IT projects. She has spent the past three years standardizing and re-structuring MEDITECH access provisioning at Cook Children's.
Labeling Breast Milk for BMV Session: 1027 Presenters: Gregory Kirschner Organization: Jordan Hospital, Inc., Plymouth, Massachusetts
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 2:30 pm
Abstract: When newborns are to be fed their mothers’ breast milk during a hospital stay, it is essential that the hospital staff ensure that they receive the correct mother’s milk. If a mistake happens, the parents of the baby undergo undue anxiety, and the baby and the mother who provided the incorrect breast milk are generally forced to undergo additional blood work to determine if it either has a transmittable disease, such as HIV or hepatitis. Utilizing BMV and a custom NPR report, it is possible to create printable breast milk labels to guarantee that the correct baby receives the correct milk every time by having the RN scan the newborn’s wristband and a barcode label on the breast milk bottle. Details will be provided on how to build the NPR report for the labels, add the report to an RN menu, setup the breast milk in the pharmacy drug dictionary, and create an assessment for the PCS Worklist to document the feeding. Finally, the intended workflow will be demonstrated, showing how to print the labels, order the breast milk (as a “Med”), scan in BMV, and document the Worklist assessment. Greg Kirschner is a Clinical Informatics Analyst at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital Plymouth (formerly Jordan Hospital) in Massachusetts. He previously worked at MEDITECH for seven years. Learner Outcomes: • How to build a custom NPR report used to print breast milk labels from an RN menu • How to enter breast milk as a medication in the system so it may be used for BMV • The workflow of an RN to utilize labels for the newborn’s mother’s breast milk and to use BMV scanning during each feeding Post-Lecture questions: • What type of barcode is used for breast milk labels- Rx Number or NDC Number? • Do the labels need to print in the pharmacy with other medication labels? • What happens when a user attempts to print a label for a medication that is not a breast milk label?

Session: 1028 Presenters: Sharon Kirby Organization: Centura Health, Englewood, Colorado
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 1:30 pm
Abstract: Centura Health is continually evaluating ways to leverage technology to improve our patient outcomes. To that end, we developed a proactive early warning alert surveillance status board to assist in identifying patients that may be exhibiting symptoms of sepsis. This allows for early intervention to avert untoward complications that could negatively affect a patient’s recovery. Using MEDITECH’s status board functionality, we were able to create a tool that facilitated the clinician’s ability to aggregate patient data concurrently to make care decisions sooner. It was designed to bring relevant information to the nurse to obtain timely and critical information with which to make immediate care decisions in critical situations. The implementation of the sepsis surveillance status board went beyond our expectations as it was found to be a useful tool for not only sepsis patients but also assisted in identifying subtle changes on other types of patients that ordinarily would have gone unnoticed.
EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS
Use of a Sepsis Surveillance Status Board as a Proactive Early Warning Alert
There is evidence to support the fact that a proactive early warning tool designed to avoid a patient’s deterioration to a critical status can have substantial cost savings. Based on the CMS average of ICU bed cost of $4,850, and an average ICU stay of three days, this represents a cost avoidance of $640,000 per year by increasing surveillance using our EHR. This clearly demonstrates how Centura Health is able to leverage technology to improve our patient outcomes as well as improve value. It has been shown that some 60% of code blues could be avoided if a clinician intervened earlier in the process. The surveillance status board is an accumulation of evidence-based physiologic data points that alerts the clinician leading to early intervention. Through this early detection and intervention, the survival rate among cardiopulmonary arrest patients is greatly increased, while the costs of increased lengths of stay and additional days in the intensive care unit are reduced. Sharon B. Kirby MSN RN-BC is Chief Nursing Informatics Officer for Centura Health, a 15-hospital system and the largest healthcare provider in Colorado. She is an RN with nearly three decades of clinical nursing experience in a wide variety of specialty areas and over five years of informatics experience. She holds a MSN with an Informatics Specialization. Ms. Kirby’s responsibilities include providing visionary clinical nursing leadership to advance Centura Health’s utilization of the clinical information systems consistent with their clinical and strategic goals and initiatives. She provides leadership for the Centura Clinical Nurse Informatics team, directing and managing the development, implementation, and maintenance of the clinical information system from the perspective of the system user. She develops and leads programs to manage and integrate clinical systems so as to improve patient safety, improve clinical work flow and functionality, assure communication of clinical information, and ensure data integrity. Ms. Kirby’s informatics oversight includes EDM, ORM and PCS on the inpatient side as well as MEDITECH LSS and MEDITECH Home Care and Hospice on the outpatient side to align patient care coordination across the continuum. Ms. Kirby has experience with many IT initiatives including EHR implementation of all MEDITECH modules, MEDITECH Magic to C/S conversion, BCMA implementation for inpatient and ED, ED Medication Management, inpatient CPOE and Physician Documentation (PDoc).

Downtime Readiness – Aligning Acute and Ambulatory Downtime Policies and Processes Session: 1029 Presenters: Lisa Stephenson and Sharon Kirby Organization: Centura Health, Englewood, Colorado
Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 11:00 am
Abstract: With the advent of Meaningful Use, we in healthcare IT have found it necessary to take more frequent upgrades and priority packs to our medical software than ever before. This phenomenon has caused our organization to continually refine our downtime processes and policy for our acute care hospitals. As our ambulatory practices become more dependent on the EHR we recently found it necessary to replicate our downtime policies and procedures on the ambulatory side within our clinic and physician practices. As we know, upgrades are scheduled downtimes that usually give us ample time to prepare for the system being down. Our enterprise prides itself in using this scheduled downtime to fine tune all downtime processes so as to ensure readiness in the event of an unscheduled downtime. When preparing for a recent upgrade, we updated our acute care downtime policy to include CPOE and PDoc. Although we had a robust downtime policy for the inpatient side of our organization, it was obvious to us we did not have the same content on the ambulatory side. With over 438 employed/contracted providers, 106 practices, 45 specialty practices and 1.8 million ambulatory visits annually, our outpatient arena is the fastest growing portion of our healthcare system. We found it imperative we take this scheduled downtime opportunity to develop necessary ambulatory processes and policy. Lisa Stephenson, RN, MSN is the Director of Clinical Informatics for Centura Health, a 15-hospital system and the largest healthcare provider in Colorado. She is an RN with experience in a wide variety of specialty areas including pediatrics, hospice home care, ED, acute care inpatient, and quality. She holds a MSN in nursing management and leadership and is an active member of HIMSS/CHIMSS and ANIA. Mrs. Stephenson’s responsibilities include providing clinical leadership to advance Centura Health’s utilization of the clinical information systems. She provides leadership for the Centura Clinical Nurse Informatics team in their efforts with implementation and maintenance of the clinical information system. In addition she leads several projects to improve patient safety, clinical work flow and functionality in the clinical information system. Mrs. Stephenson’s informatics oversight includes the acute inpatient side as well as ambulatory, long term care and home care areas to align patient care coordination across the continuum. Mrs. Stephenson has experience with many IT initiatives including BCMA implementation for inpatient and ED, Meaningful Use stage 1 and 2, transitions of care, and CPOE and Physician Documentation (PDoc) implementation. Centura has recently completed CPOE implementation throughout all of its 15 facilities and each has successfully attested for HIMSS Stage 6. They have also achieved HIMSS Stage 7 at six of their 15 hospitals and continue through the process of attesting for each of their facilities through Mrs. Stephenson’s leadership.

Session: 1039 Presenters: Christina Lim Organization: Bridgepoint Health, Toronto, Ontario
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 1:30 pm
Abstract: In 2006, Bridgepoint Health made the decision to use MEDITECH as its primary HCIS clinical and business application. Since then, we have used MEDITECH as primary data source for over 14 modules such as ADM, PCS, HR, PP, GL, and BAR. These MEDITECH modules are the backbone of our corporate data mart that pulls data from MEDITECH and generates reports that are published to our reporting portal and viewed by our stakeholders/end users. With such an abundance of data available to our users, it is essential that we keep in mind three important aspects of the data service: Integrity, Security, and Availability. To do this, the aspects were broken apart and addressed through three separate projects: The data repository “water tank” project, the Securities Access Management (SAM) project, and the Downtime Procedures project.
EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS
Business Intelligence Using a Data Farm
These three projects combine to account for all of the steps involved in gathering data and providing it to the end users with a high level of security and accessibility. The overall product is likened to a dairy farm producing milk for consumers. The process starts with the cows, who produce milk for the farmer, who sells the milk to a grocery store where it gets stored in a warehouse before finally being sold to a consumer who wants to turn his captain crunch from a crispy corn starch pellet of mouth tearing blades into a nice, soggy, milky breakfast that is more fit for dessert. With MEDITECH at the centre, each data project represents a step along the process of supplying “the milk” (our data) to “the consumer” (our end users). The first block in the structure is the data repository. Using a newly implemented data repository, our data is available to us in the form of a “water tank”, so called because the data is always available for us to siphon from while the system continually fills the tank with data from our MEDITECH system. This ensures that all data is up to date and available and provides a sense of comfort and peace of mind that comes with the software taking control of our data extraction requirements. This project provides the integrity of our data package. Our data is frequently downloaded and updated to synchronize every 30 minutes with MEDITECH data. This allows our reporting system to be as close to real-time data as is feasible. Now that our data is available, it is essential that the proper access is granted to our users. It is also important that our patient’s information is being used properly and by the right people who should have access in order to care for the patient. There are many layers of security within our reporting structure. These layers are there to ensure that the correct access to information is given to each individual staff member. On our reporting portal, users are only able to see select reporting folders based on their position and department within Bridgepoint Health. Within those folders are reports that also have a level of security imbedded within. If a user is in charge of a department, they are only able to see information related to that department. For example, the Director of Information Management cannot see information related to Environmental Services. We have also implemented a Securities Access Management project which takes information from the MEDITECH logs, uploads it to our corporate SQL databases and processes it to send out notifications when user’s activity may be suspect. Some criteria we have established are when Registered Nurses and Registered Practical Nurses access patient information for a patient who is not currently on their unit or if a nurse accesses patient information from someone who has their same last name. These instances are investigated accordingly. This is done to ensure that MEDITECH users are using the programs and the data available to them in the right way, and also serves to protect patient information. The final piece of the puzzle is to ensure availability of the data for our end users. Once we have established the source of data, and ensured the users have access to the data that is relevant to them, we must ensure that end users will have access to that data any time, day, evening and night. This is no problem under normal circumstances; everyone does this all the time. However, in the event of unplanned downtime, where we are unprepared to provide important patient information such as Lab orders and recent documentation through the MEDITECH system where it is normally available, we need a system that can still deliver as close to real-time information as possible. Current state is when unplanned downtime occurs clinicians on the nursing units utilize manual documentation procedures and forms which are later entered into MEDITECH once downtime is over. They are unable to view any data related to lab orders, results or recent documentation. To resolve this issue we have designed a downtime procedure that incorporates our existing data repository and our online reporting portal to make the most up to date as possible data available even when MEDITECH systems are down, or even in the event of a power outage. The required reports are routinely, every 30 minutes, downloaded from MEDITECH and distributed to the hard drives of work stations on the clinical units. These workstations have emergency power or access to emergency outlets that allow them to access these reports even in the event of a power outage. This ensures that the clinical units experience as little loss of effectiveness as possible even when our systems are in downtime. The combinations of these three aspects of delivering information are what define our data farm. We have consistent data flow and storage, appropriate access and constant data availability. MEDITECH is the driving force behind the functionalities of the each piece of machinery. The centralization of all data modules is what makes this data farm possible and allows us to fully customize and implement our business logic to suit end user’s needs.

Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 2:30 pm
Abstract: Ontario Shores is the only organization to fully integrate the Staff Scheduler module, with the Human Resources and Payroll module in MEDITECH 6.06. We will demonstrate how we support a fully centralized scheduling and staffing process that interfaces with human resources and payroll. Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences is a 329- bed public hospital in Whitby, Ontario that provides a spectrum of specialized assessment and treatment services to those living with complex and serious mental illness. Employing over 1,200 staff, Ontario Shores is committed to providing excellent patient care, ongoing learning and maintaining a safe, respectful and positive environment. We will provide our history prior to MEDITECH and share previous methods used to support our HR, Payroll and Staffing processes. Additionally, we will briefly describe the parallel silos that were used for HR, Payroll and Staffing and scheduling and share how the inefficiencies contributed to duplication and multiple hand-offs. We will take you through our implementation journey, while highlighting the challenges and lessons learned. Pros and Cons of the system will be noted while demonstrating creative strategies we put in place to ensure that customization and streamlining of our HR, Payroll and staffing and scheduling processes were appropriate for our unique work environment. We will go through the various modules we have adapted through MEDITECH in order to streamline our HR, Payroll and Staffing and scheduling practices. We will demonstrate how the system is interlinked.

Session: 1050 Presenters: Heather Crouch Organization: East Tennessee Children's Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee
Scheduled: Friday May 30 at 9:30 am
Abstract: No one realizes the impact of computerized documentation until it is occurring in real time. The computer can be intimidating to staff, leading to sub-standard documentation. This is something that must to be overcome. Pen and paper are gone. The computer can provide more information than pen and paper ever could. It’s up to the builders and the users to make the computer give the output that is needed. However, the output is only as good as the information inputted. It was obvious after unofficial chart reviews that staff needed reminders of critical documentation measures. Through audits, staff suggestions, hospital policies, and regulations numerous changes and improvements have occurred since implementing computer documentation in the Emergency Department in August 2011. Some examples of the changes that have been made are: the Tracker has been updated to alert staff when certain documentation hasn’t been completed in an appropriate amount of time; certain assessments have been combined to one intervention to decrease clicks and improve the consistency of asking specific questions every time; certain items have been set as required so that staff cannot complete the intervention until the assessment questions have been answered; selected interventions have been added to the discharge screen so that the patient cannot be discharged until the assessments are addressed.
EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS
Computer Documentation: It’s the New Pen and Paper
In order to see if improvements have been successful, monthly audits are completed by staff. They are given the documentation expectations and policies to ensure these are being followed. Seven different categories are audited: triage category, triage protocol implementation, rounding, pain documentation, documentation of IV insertion, documentation of maintain the IV site, and documentation of discontinuing the IV. The lowest category when we began was documentation of maintaining an IV site at 0%. While it remains the lowest documentation percentage it has improved to 60%. Required competencies occur monthly and have included staff participation in documentation and computer use. Heather Crouch received her BSN from East Tennessee State University in May 2002. She has worked at East Tennessee Children's Hospital since June 2003. She began as a staff nurse in the float pool working throughout the hospital. In November 2003, Heather was offered and accepted a staff nurse position in the Emergency Department where she has worked since. During the last 10 years, she has worked as a staff nurse, charge nurse, Assistant Nurse Manager, and currently, ED Informatics Nurse. Heather began working with informatics in fall 2004 when she was asked to participate in the implementation of the Tracker. In spring 2010, she was asked to participate in the migration the system to MEDITECH 6.0. She has continued working with informatics since spring 2010, and is currently pursuing my MBA in Healthcare Informatics at Southern New Hampshire University. Heather has participated with implementing the Emergency Department Nursing Documentation, Provider Documentation, Computerized Provider Order Entry, E-prescribing, Meaningful Use, ARRA, Patient Portal, and IMO.

6.X Rules, or How to Make it Harder to Make Mistakes Session: 1052 Presenters: Chris Burke Organization: Cornerstone Advisors
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 2:30 pm
Abstract: Incorporating regulatory agency requirements into clinical software can be a significant challenge. In this presentation the application of custom built rules in MEDITECH 6.X to evaluate criteria and perform a wide range of functions is discussed. The focus is on rules in PCS and OM, but other creative rule applications are included as well. PCS examples include requiring queries based on other query responses, preventing documentation from being saved unless other documentation has been saved previously, limiting recall of documentation to only the users own documentation, limiting recall to a specified time frame and calculating simple and complex values. OM examples include calculating values in Customer Defined Screens in OM, defaulting in values based on patients OM Location, making fields editable or required based on OM location, requiring or skipping queries based on other queries, and preventing an order from being placed more than once. We will also review the use of rules in the PCS discharge forms and converting medications on discharge. Attendees can take advantage of “lessons learned”. In addition, several rule examples that have been successfully implemented to support and guide clinical staff members with decision making tasks during documentation and order entry will be demonstrated. Chris Burke is a Senior Consultant at Cornerstone Advisors. Previously he has worked as an ICU staff RN for 18 years and became involved in Informatics as his hospital transferred from paper to electronic documentation. Chris was part of the initial build team for the MEDITECH PCS implementation and transitioned into the hospital IT department as a Clinical Analyst. He was involved in many aspects of the advanced clinical processes, participating in the build and Go-Lives for many projects, among them PCS, CPOE, EMAR/BMV, Medication Reconciliation and the patient portal.. Learning Outcomes: • Have a better understanding of how to use rules to support and guide clinical staff members with decision making tasks during documentation and order entry • Improving compliance and accuracy of regulatory agency requirements related to documentation and order entry • Expand knowledge of the options and limitations of rules in different modules Post-Lecture questions: • Where are PCS rules attached to documentation? • Where are OM rules attached to orders? • True or false: Result queries are the only type if queries that can have values defaulted in?

Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 9:00 am
Abstract: Using MEDITECH acute and ambulatory products (previously known as LSS) from “cradle to grave” as advertised takes a lot of in-depth knowledge. Whether you are entering RXM medications from EDM, EMR, PWM or PCM, the screens work differently and have unique errors and concerns. Yet your patients and providers need all that information to integrate smoothly, especially to meet meaningful use thresholds. SISU shares the challenges and solutions they’ve addressed in getting hospital and clinic medications in RXM to integrate. We share which approaches work best if you’ve had RXM for years and need to clean up, or are implementing from scratch. We include tips on how the new 5.66 functionality such as common medication lookups, the new continue from ambulatory screen, and the discharge routine impact RXM drug usage and troubleshooting.

Session: 1072 Presenters: Dr. Patrick Sankovitz Organization: Centura Health, Englewood, Colorado
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 2:30 pm
Abstract: MEDITECH’s Patient and Consumer Health Portal can be used as a tool to allow patients to access and manage their health information online. The patient portal allows users to view details about their medications, allergies, immunization, lab results, and more. If the portal is implemented with additional parameters, patients can request appointments, medication refills, and updates to their demographics. For several years now, patients have been asking their physicians for online portals. Now, through meaningful use criteria, the government is not only requiring hospitals and physicians provide these tools, but also requiring patients actually use them. This presentation will outline important decisions to consider when preparing to go live with MEDITECH’s new patient portal. We will detail the operational needs an organization must address during configuration, implementation, and support, as well as during subsequent patient engagement activities. Those attending this presentation will hear how Centura Health, a 15-hospital health system with over 100 physician practices successfully rolled out the new patient portal to all of its patients in early 2014, with the majority of activities occurring over a 60-day period. Centura took an innovative approach to its implementation of the patient portal, employing an automated registration process, among other tools, to ensure high levels of adoption in both the acute and ambulatory environments.

Getting Vitals and More into EMR and PCI: How to Succeed and What the Future Holds Session: 1075 Presenters: Chris Roark and Jeff McGeath Organization: Stillwater Medical Center, Stillwater, Oklahoma; Iatric Systems, Inc.
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 3:30 pm
Abstract: In 2013, West Health Institute reported hospitals could save more than $30 billion by automatically passing vital signs and data from other medical devices into our hospitals’ Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Imagine recouping $30 billion — that’s more money than was promised in Stage 1 Meaningful Use incentive funds. The million-dollar question is how can we succeed and achieve that level of interoperability between medical devices and MEDITECH? This presentation will outline Stillwater Medical Center’s multidisciplinary, phased implementation approach, including which devices were integrated and why; resources needed in terms of personnel, hardware, and software; the project’s timeline; how training was handled, what’s next, etc. We will discuss how the project saved nurses time and improved patient safety by eliminating manual documentation, and gave physicians access to patient vitals real time to help improve patient care. The presentation will also cover medical device interoperability standards, and will delve into West Health Institute’s comprehensive 2013 report, which states “90% of hospitals use six or more types of devices that could be integrated with EHRs.” It also will detail how integration of different device types with the EHR can help eliminate drug errors, redundant testing, and delays in treatment. Attend this presentation to learn how to successfully pass vital signs and other medical device data into EMR and PCI, and learn what the future of medical device integration can hold. Chris Roark is CIO of Stillwater Medical Center, a 117-bed not-for-profit, acute care C/S hospital dedicated to providing high-quality care to local residents and surrounding communities in north central Oklahoma.

Session: 1083 Presenters: Dr. Stephanie Lahr and Jeff Webber Organization: Kootenai Health, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Cornerstone Advisors
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 3:30 pm
Abstract: Why is it so hard to create physician buy-in when introducing physician computerized tools? Physicians all have IPADs and seem happy, yet most push back when we ask for project participation, testing feedback and training times. Could it be that we genuinely do not understand what physicians need and want from technology? Join us as we ask a practicing hospitalist to explain, What Do Physicians Want? If you have ever been involved with an IT project deploying CPOE, Evidence Based Order sets, Physician Documentation, or Physician Rounding tools, you know that it is difficult to meet the expectations of one doctor, let alone all physicians. By asking different questions, less about the appropriate protocol or the proper order string, we can learn to appreciate what physicians need and help to increase the level of success for physician IT projects.

Setting the Pace with MEDITECH: A Solution for Implantable Cardiac Device Documentation Session: 1084 Presenters: Nissar Hussain and Vigneshwaran Cumareshan Organization: HCA International, London, UK
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 1:30 pm
Abstract: In May 2011, IT&S Applications at HCA International were approached to look at a solution for our Cardiology Departments which would be used at our hospitals to capture Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD)/Pacing device information. The Department’s intention was to purchase an off the shelf solution, the cost of which would be approximately £300K ($500K) to implement and £30K ($50K) annual maintenance fee. Prior to this project, users were faced with the following: • Poor data quality • Non-cohesive work flow process • Lack of reporting • Patient data fragmented across multiple databases • No ability to print forms and patient pacing information cards • Protracted processes to submit data to Central Cardiac Audit Database (CCAD) Under the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, all hospitals are expected to provide Heart Disease Audit Data to the CCAD, as part of the National Clinical Audit Support Programme (NCASP). IT&S Applications were approached to review the possibility of implementing this proposed solution. The question was put forward “Why is MEDITECH not being considered as a solution?” After initial scoping what began as a straight forward data collection, utilising a Customer Defined Screen became an in-depth, cross module solution that would streamline and standardise work processes across all facilities. This presentation looks at the journey taken to provide a fully MEDITECH-based solution for storing, reporting and exporting data. Nissar Hussain has been with HCA International since 2010, employed as an application analyst in the clinical team within the IT&S department. Prior to this Nissar worked for the NHS as an Application Support Analyst.

Session: 1088 Presenters: Joshua Schmees Organization: Hospital Sisters Health System
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 2:30 pm
Abstract: One of the biggest issues with an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is how do you provide effective clinical decision support, but not cause an overabundance of medication alerts. Alert stimuli can come from: printouts, reports, prompts, drug interactions, drug dose warnings, and even associated lab alerts. Alert pitfalls can result from: high volume, lack of specificity, lack of clinical relevance, inappropriate alert timing, or unavailable but necessary information. The purpose of this project was to identify and decrease several sources of medication alert fatigue. Once sources were identified, tools for measuring alert volumes were identified and developed. By measuring alerts, we could prioritize our efforts; thus, we started with lab test view groups, then formulary service vendor drug interactions, and dose range checking. With lab test view groups we were able to turn off 29.4% (48,929 annual alerts) and change 66.9% (111,357 annual alerts) from always firing to only abnormal firing in our Southern Illinois Division hospitals. Across our 10 MEDITECH Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) facilities, 186,639 drug-drug interactions fired in nine months. A workflow process was developed called the alerts workgroup involving pharmacist and physician review and approval of modifications. As of December 2013, 15 drug-drug interactions were turned off that resulted in a decrease of 34.6% (64,522 annual alerts) across HSHS. With respect to dose range checking, 135 medications were turned off and decreased our alerts by 62.6% (7,020 annual alerts) at one facility as of December 2013. By evaluating data and effectively using tools available, it is possible to have a major impact on medication alert fatigue.

So You Want to Be a Hospital CIO? Session: 1107 Presenters: Chris Blakemore Organization: Cornerstone Advisors
Scheduled: Friday May 30 at 10:30 am
Abstract: Google “Wanna be a CIO”, and you’ll get 28,000 hits. Google “Wanna be a hospital CIO" – not so many – just a couple. There are some key differences between being a CIO in a hospital and in other industries and the average tenure, according to Gartner, for a CIO in healthcare is a little greater than four years. While there is no “common” path for moving up the ladder to healthcare CIO, there are some common themes for demonstrating your ability to become, and stay, a successful healthcare CIO. There are also some common derailers to avoid in the process and along your career path. This session will investigate both – how to become a hospital CIO and how to avoid the derailers. The session is intended for managers and directors in healthcare looking for strategies to continue to grow in their careers.

Clinical Documentation Standardization: Big Decisions That Align and Empower Success for Clinical Projects Session: 1113 Presenters: Paulette Schroeder Organization: Jacobus Consulting
Scheduled: Friday May 30 at 10:30 am
Abstract: Clinical Documentation Standardization is not always well understood, and consensus on an approach is not always attained. Yet, it is a critical success factor when implementing MEDITECH Advanced Clinical modules and ICD-10. The decision to standardize can come when looking at optimizing clinical models that were implemented several years ago to mirror updated regulations and practices, or even when a significant opportunity for change warrants a redesign – like migrating to 6.x or implementing ICD-10. What are the most important pieces of standardization when implementing or optimizing your online clinical documentation? This presentation looks at what standardization means, how it applies to a healthcare organizations (with implementation examples), why it is so important, and the optimal outcomes. We will also explore what “big decisions” need to be made prior to software delivery and build. These decisions and the early work in the project can be the key to the success of your project and prevention of re-work as you add new modules, processes, and functionality. Paulette Schroeder, RN, BSN, PMP, BC in Nursing Informatics is the MEDITECH Clinical Practice Director for Jacobus Consulting – a large, US-based MEDITECH consulting firm.

Session: 1119 Presenters: Becky Peery and Stephanie Broderick Organization: Centura Health, Englewood, Colorado; First Databank
Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 11:00 am
Abstract: More than one million serious medication errors occur every year in U.S. hospitals. Such errors include administration of the wrong drug, drug overdoses, and overlooked drug interactions and allergies – and that can lead to patient harm. Contributing to the problem is over-alerting: drug interactions that aren’t pertinent and duplicate warnings that don’t make much sense. Centura Health, a network of 15 hospitals, six senior living communities, health neighborhoods, physician practices and clinics, home care and hospice services in Colorado and western Kansas, sought a better way. Centura Health is committed to an increasing level of excellence in patient safety and driven to provide their clinicians with relevant information to guide high quality patient care. Through collaboration with their vendor partners and a group of other equally committed hospitals, a unique cloud-based solution was born that is dedicated to making this massive amount of information manageable and meaningful to patient care.

Putting Alert Fatigue to Bed Session: 1120 Presenters: Darci Bernardi, Virginia Halsey, and David Troiano Organization: Benefis Hospital, Great Falls, Montana; Dearborn Advisors
Scheduled: Friday May 30 at 10:30 am
Abstract: Alert fatigue is an all too common issue facing care providers. From the constant beeping of devices to alerts when placing orders, clinicians have become not only desensitized to the alert information being presented, but have become annoyed with the sometimes constant barrage of alerts. Benefis Health System, in Great Falls, Montana approached the problem of alert fatigue in earnest as they moved forward with the roll out of CPOE across their organization. They were aware early on that Providers would likely be overwhelmed with the sheer number of medication related alerts, thereby causing these alerts to not only lose their effectiveness but to actually increase the risk of medication errors due to alert fatigue. Working with their formulary service provider and a consulting firm, Benefis was able to not only very quickly reduce alerts by 1/3, but in the process developed an approach that would serve to guide ongoing efforts for alert reduction. This presentation will review the methodology that was used for the analysis and decision-making processes and describe some of the findings and the thought processes that led to this success in reducing the risk of alert fatigue and improving Provider satisfaction with the CPOE system roll-out. Darci Bernardi graduated from the University of Montana in 2000 with a Doctorate of Pharmacy degree. She worked in a retail setting for eight years before moving to Benefis Hospital in Great Falls, MT. The rollout of Bedside Medication Verification and barcode scanning prompted a need for an informatics pharmacist. Darci took on this role and the position grew rapidly. With Meaningful Use, came the need for Computerized Physician Order Entry. Darci was involved in the pharmacy build, along with bringing in Alert Space to decrease the alert fatigue the providers would soon face. Virginia Halsey is product management director with First Databank (FDB), the source of medication content integrated into MEDITECH and the majority of EMRs and other systems providing care guidance for medications. She is responsible for the AlertSpace product line, a web-based solution for managing alerts used by over 100 MEDITECH sites for tackling alert fatigue. Halsey has over twenty years of experience with medication content integrated into software and has worked on a number of initiatives that have addressed alert fatigue. In addition to product management, this experience has included early stints in programming, implementation and account management. She holds a B.A. with honors from the University of California, Berkeley. David Troiano is a Registered Pharmacist with more than 30 years of experience with clinical performance improvement and information systems, including 11 years as a vendor of healthcare information systems and 18 years as a consultant. He leads the Medication Management Performance Improvement Development Team in the development and implementation of consulting services to improve medication safety, reduce costs and improve efficiencies in medication management. Prior to working in consulting, Mr. Troiano worked for clinical information system vendors in implementation and as a Product Manager where he designed and oversaw the development and implementation of a wide range of clinical information systems. He has also held positions as a Pharmacist and Pharmacy Manager in a large urban hospital.

Halifax Health’s Road to Becoming a Paperless Hospital Session: 1125 Presenters: Tom Stafford Organization: Halifax Health, Daytona, Florida
Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 9:00 am
Abstract: Halifax Health, the largest hospital in Daytona, Florida, once relied on pre-printed paper forms, which were costly, required manual processing and left information trapped on paper when it needed to be in MEDITECH’s EHR. In addition, the hospital used to collect ink-on-paper signatures, which were difficult to secure and were sometimes missed as staff collected admissions packets – potentially leading to billing and care delays. To solve these problems, Halifax turned to an electronic forms on demand and e-Signature solution. In this presentation, attendees will learn how the team charted its course from paper-based to paper-light processes, and how the hospital is moving forward to a fully paperless environment. Topics covered will include: • Eliminating the costs and delays of pre-printed forms • Ensuring all information and signatures required for care delivery and billing are captured at the point of registration • Sending signed e-forms into MEDITECH’s EHR without user effort • Improving patient engagement • Supporting regulatory compliance by ensuring only up to date e-forms are used • Boosting staff productivity and enabling registrars to stay with patients instead of processing paper • Saving time and eliminating scanning and indexing errors in HIM • Looking forward to fillable web-based forms that can be used on tablets, smartphones and any other device Tom Stafford is the CIO at Halifax Health. Since arriving at Halifax Health in 2007, Tom has transformed the facility’s healthcare IT strategy and helped move the hospital toward its goal of offering fully electronic health records. Tom is also an active member of the MEDITECH user community and is an instrumental figure in the MUSE 500 Club.

Vanishing Revenue & EHRs – Are Your New EHR Driven Charging Processes Costing You Lost Revenue? Session: 1126 Presenters: Sharon Clayton, Valerie Inmee, Marcella Whooley, and Paulette Schroeder Organization: Jacobus Consulting
Scheduled: Friday May 30 at 9:30 am
Abstract: You’ve built a fabulous EHR, but are you losing money due to inappropriate charging? Is your system helping or hindering the capture of charges? Electronic medical records enhance patient care and quality for clinicians; however charge capture of clinical procedures through EMR is often not a first consideration. Sometimes, nurses and other clinicians are often not even aware of the potential for lost charges, nor are they built into the system for automatic capture. Perhaps auditing and reconciliation of EHR driven charges may not be a process you have bulletproofed yet. For years, clinical unit’s focus of charging was on what was used on a patient, not what services were done for a patient. This has changed. There are now numerous entities auditing the medical record retrospectively for documentation supporting charges. This makes creating a record with easily defendable documentation of chargeable events more important than ever. Worse, worry about fraudulent charging may lead to inappropriate under charging – hurting financial performance. Knowing the potential procedure charges and the necessary documentation is essential in building a sound EMR and charging process. This session will show how the ideal EMR should assist in charge capture in the most seamless way and guide clinical documentation to support those charges. We will focus on best practice and provide advice on how MEDITECH build teams can take on this critical task.

Meaningful Use Stage 2 – Understanding Direct Messaging, HIE CCD Exchange and Public Health Interfaces Session: 1129 Presenters: Suma Krishnaprasad Organization: The Shams Group
Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 3:30 pm
Meaningful Use Stage 2 now requires eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals to perform CCD exchange either via an HIE or Direct messaging and all three public health interfaces as Core Measures. For those hospitals that are struggling to understand the requirements and what needs to be done to meet these core measures, this presentation walks the audience through the requirements in detail. Provides insight into what needs to be done to achieve these measures in a timely manner in order to attest on schedule for MU stage 2 Whether the hospital has purchased MEDITECH’s CCD Exchange suite along with public health interfaces or if they are still struggling to decide which way to go, this presentation provides clarification on the best approach to take. It outlines the differences between Direct and HIE interfaces, which method is better and when to use each. Different states have different submission methodologies for each of the Public Health Interfaces – Immunizations, Syndromic Surveillance and Electronic Lab Results. You may have heard terms such as PHINMS, VADS, Bio Sense, HTTPS – SOAP, SFTP etc. We will demystify these terms and provide clarity on what these mean, the onboarding process and going live with the interfaces.

Achieving Success with CPOE and Order Set Adoption Using an FMEA Approach Session: 1130 Presenters: Dr. Sam Bagchi Organization: Methodist Health System, Dallas, Texas
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 11:00 am C/S
Abstract: The role of clinical content management strategies to promote uptake of evidence-based practices at the point of care has never been more critical for healthcare organizations. Successfully navigating the challenges of the performance-based regulatory landscape will require a solid foundation of clinical decision support (CDS) technology that includes electronic, evidence-based order sets to drive high-quality CPOE and better outcomes. While few in the industry would deny the potential of evidence-based order sets to drive performance improvement and position healthcare organizations for the future, the challenges to these complex technological rollouts are many. Driven by informatics and requiring tremendous cross-functional collaboration and management, there are hundreds of facets to these complex projects requiring a huge draw on time and resources. And if just one facet goes awry, a project can stutter or fail. We will outline experiences using the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) framework as a foundation for success. We will provide insights into how this strategy has helped the organizations achieve high adoption rates, leading to improved quality care and patient outcomes. Sam Bagchi, MD has been at Methodist Health System since 2012 and leads the Clinical Informatics imp@ct team (impact: informatics maximizing patient safety and achieving clinical transformation) focused on large-scale patient care experience and patient safety improvement through clinical IT. Recent successful informatics projects at Methodist include a high-adoption inpatient CPOE implementation at the Methodist Richardson facility, a multi-facility electronic physician documentation go-Live in the Methodist Emergency Departments and successful implementation of an evidence-based order set clinical decision support tool. Dr. Bagchi has recently taken responsibility for corporate quality functions and is further integrating quality improvement with informatics at Methodist. Learner Outcomes: • Analyze the components of Value-Based Purchasing and its impact on standardization of disease-based care. • Discuss the role of evidence-based order sets to standardization of care and the complexities of implementing an order set initiative. • Demonstrate the effective use of the Failure Mode Effect Analysis to physician engagement in order set development and governance processes at a large integrated health system. Post lecture questions: • What percentage of Medicare revenue is at risk in the Value Base Purchasing program for 2015? a. 0.5% b. 1-3% c. 10% d. 50% • Which of the following is a typical Failure Mode for physician order set engagement? o Physician time is wasted o Physicians given lunch at meetings o Physicians allowed to use a remote review tool for order set feedback o “Shuttle” diplomacy used for specific groups where conflict over order sets is likely • How many phases of standardization were discussed in the presentation? o This is a one step process that achieves standardization instantly. o This is open-ended journey to perfection o There are three phases that consist of 1. Usability & Adoption; 2. Consolidation of varied content; 3. Integration of stand content – Rapid Improvement Phase

Abstract: Operating Room (OR) resources are among the most expensive items in a healthcare institution’s charge master dictionary. Understanding how these resources are being utilized is critical to the fiscal success of surgical services. During this session, we will demonstrate how to develop numerous Data Repository (DR) based reports that provide an at-a-glance summarization of OR resource utilization. Demonstrated reports will provide clear graphical feedback on indicators such as: Actual OR Times versus Scheduled Times; OR Delay Reasons By Provider Group and Provider; OR Turnaround Times; and Block Utilization. We will show reports that summarize data as well as providing drill-down capabilities to look at detail -- easily identifying trends and outliers. We will demonstrate how you can develop these reports, review strategies for testing the findings and discuss the software used to present and deploy the OR reports to a web portal.

Pondering 6.x Session: 1132 Presenters: Joe Grinstead Organization: Cornerstone Advisors
Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 10:00 am
Abstract: With one of the largest install bases of any EHR vendor, there are well over 1,000 organizations running some form of MEDITECH. A large percentage of those organizations are running one of MEDITECH’s proven “legacy” platforms: Magic or Client/Server. As demonstrated by Meaningful Use attestations and other recognitions, both of these platforms are viable options to take an organization into a leading position in the utilization of technology in the clinical setting. With all that said, most Magic and Client/Server organizations are already considering or should be considering MEDITECH’s latest 6.x platform of products. There are many compelling reasons to consider taking the step to upgrade including the user interface, a more modern infrastructure and positioning to take advantage of all of the latest capabilities that MEDITECH offers today and will be offering in the future. A decision to move to 6.x is not simple. Aside from the cost, there will be disruption to the organization, distraction from other projects and the general challenges that change creates. But, at the same time, there is great opportunity and value. During this session, we’ll walk through a process for preparing for and conducting a decision making and strategy development process that will not only confirm your organization’s desire to jump forward to 6.x but will also provide a roadmap for how you plan to get there in a way that maximizes the value while managing/minimizing the risk. Using a combination of presentation and team activities, attendees will get the chance to work on a pseudo organizational scenario. Joe Grinstead, Director at Cornerstone Advisors, is a 20+ year veteran of the Healthcare IT and MEDITECH space. Working in hospital/healthcare systems, consulting and professional services, he has a strong understanding of the challenges facing healthcare organizations and demonstrated experience helping IT deliver results.

Implementing MEDITECH’s Advanced Interoperable Interfaces under the IHE ITI Technical Framework into a Private Integrated Healthcare Exchange Session: 1137 Presenters: Phil Wasson Organization: Winthrop Resources Corporation
Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 3:30 pm
Abstract: TriRivers Health Partners has been implementing advanced ITI based interfaces for full document exchange into an integrated HIE, this includes the interfaces required for both Client-Server and 6.x. These interfaces employ the IHE ITI Technical Framework components and current are fully integrated within the HIE exchanging CCD and C32 documents. As part of the implementation TriRivers has also developed with its partners a full Regionally-Based Data Use Reciprocal Sharing Agreement (“DURSA”) governance model that provides for development and growth of the HIE under this important governance framework. This presentation will discuss specific MEDITECH components and steps for advanced ITI technical interoperable implementation, along with example functionality associated with the implementation of MEDITECH’s specific advanced interoperability. We will also discuss complexities and barriers which have been encountered among all vendor platforms when implementing this high level of HIE interoperability. TriRivers Health Partners continues its implementation of a private HIE in the States of Illinois and Wisconsin to develop a sustainable and practical eHealth framework that enables secure integrated exchange of records between different EMR applications. Our model is one of integrating EMR applications using their acquired interoperable interfaces from a variety of vendor applications and demonstrating the benefit of bringing those applications directly into EMR applications like MEDITECH. This presentation will also outline sequenced components and the overall technology model for implementing MEDITECH’s advanced interoperable interfaces using an IHE based standards approach.

Value-Based Healthcare – Are You Really Ready for Risk? Session: 1151 Presenters: William J. Leander Organization: Santa Rosa Consulting
Scheduled: Friday May 30 at 10:30 am
Abstract: This presentation shares the five key dimensions of a successful transformation from volume to value, the primary requirements and critical success factors within each dimension, as well as a related assessment methodology that organizations can apply to gauge their current preparedness for value-based healthcare, or to improve their progress and results if they already manage at-risk populations. The primary take-away is a clear, objective framework to understand and evaluate the major elements of success in this profound shift facing every healthcare organization. Value-based healthcare is gradually yet inevitably becoming reality for healthcare providers. Early stages of at-risk delivery, such as for captive employee populations under a single payer, can be accomplished through brute force. But as at-risk revenue approaches a tipping point, providers must make major changes to systems, processes and management approaches. Nothing less than full DNA shifts will position providers for success. Many organizations understand the basic concepts of value-based healthcare, yet find the transformation requirements confusing and overwhelming. This presentation will share insights and a framework to clarify and organization those requirements, and offer a self-assessment methodology to help organizations objectively gain visibility into their preparedness and capabilities to leave fee for services behind and transition to at-risk delivery. William Leander is a senior vice president with Santa Rosa Consulting and leads the Strategic Advisory Services practice. Mr. Leander brings 25 years’ successful, results-driven leadership experience in healthcare consulting services and information technology in diverse managerial, cultural, and competitive environments ranging from entrepreneurial start-up ventures to mid-sized and global publicly-held companies.

Hospitals are thus faced with a choice: • Build it – Hire the IT staff to create tools that the hospital can use • Buy it – Buy and install a product that might meet the hospital needs • Subscribe to a SaaS product – Partner with a company to meet the hospitals needs and goals Each of these provides different levels of control as well as different implementation and support challenges. This talk reviews the trade-offs and identifies features and capabilities that hospitals should focus on in the decision making process. Additionally this session will address: • Costs of each choice • Implementation processes • Support requirements o Ongoing support o Upgrade process o Maintaining of content • Scalability Gregory Magazu is a member of the product management team for IHM Service Company. Greg is involved in all aspects of product vision, direction, and implementation for IHM's current and future products. Greg has an MBA in Technology Management and over 13 years of experience in IT and healthcare product development.

Summit Care Exchange - CCD and Integrated HISP Session: 501 Organization: Summit Healthcare Services, Inc.
Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 11:00 am
Is your organization still devising your integration strategy for addressing the Transition of Care Requirement associated with Meaningful Use? Are you still determining the easiest, most efficient, and affordable way to share Summary of Care (SOC) records or Continuity of Care Documents (CCD)? We have seen a shift in the evolution of data exchange throughout the industry with a variety of pathways for organizations to begin sharing SOC/CCD, more easily and cost effectively. This has never been more the case, than with the emergence of Direct Messaging protocols. However in order to comply, a Health Information Service Provider (HISP) needs to be in place, yet not all EHR technology vendors provide their customers a HISP. Looking for answers? Summit Healthcare has supported countless hospital organizations with laying the foundation for Stage 1 integration and has stepped up the game to support interoperability for Stage 2. The Summit Care Exchange technology can support your CCD exchange including your Direct Project protocols with an integrated HISP offering. Learn more by joining our session! Summit Healthcare has been providing integration technology supporting the MEDITECH community since 1999. Our presenter and demonstrator brings a wealth of industry experience to the presentation today including MU integration requirements specifically tied to CCD integration and the support of direct protocols.

Kiosk - The Future of Self-Service in Healthcare - Going Mobile Session: 510 Presenter: Omeed Shams Organization: The Shams Groups (TSG)
Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 9:00 am
Although self-service kiosks can provide numerous advantages to healthcare providers, barriers such as high equipment & maintenance costs, clunky devices with large footprints and unintuitive UI designs have slowed down the adoption for both patients and providers. To alleviate some of the strains that are associated with existing kiosk technologies, The Shams Group has developed a completely mobile kiosk – built on our Mobile Solution Platform (MSP). Our Patient Kiosk application, for patient registration and check-in, is just one component of our Mobile Solutions Platform (MSP). We developed the end-user application as a native iPad app – and by both leveraging iOS’s intuitive UI and widely recognizable controls, as well as creating our own custom controls, we have created a familiar and pleasant experience for the end user; thus increasing patient adoption. Providers can also leverage our MSP to go BEYOND patient intake - capturing any discrete data, images, signatures, payment and more to streamline any workflow in their existing environment. This is all done via touch-based iPad technology, and seamlessly integrates with MEDITECH using TSG’s MEDITECH engine & adapter (no involvement from MEDITECH required). Some examples of workflows that can be built on our MSP include: • Patient Services (registration/check-in, e-sign, co-pay collection, medical assessments/triage, way finding, surveys) • Visitor Services (visitor/vendor check-in, cafeteria menu, way finding, retail) • Employee/Hiring • More! Functionality of our MSP includes: • Discrete data capture • Electronic/digitized forms with e-sign • Quick patient identification • Image capture • Payment collection • Health card validation • Insurance eligibility checking • Live chat • Multi-lingual capabilities • Voice Narration • Wayfinding and more! Omeed Shams is a Product Manager for The Shams Group specializing in Innovation & New Product Development, with a focus on Patient Engagement. He is responsible for guiding Front-End Development & End-User Experience Initiatives for TSG’s Patient-Centric Solutions. Mr. Shams has also published articles and has spoken on various topics emphasizing Enhancing Patient Engagement & Satisfaction through the adoption of Information Technology.

Patient Portal - Enterprise-Wide, EHR Agnostic, Patient Portal for MU2 Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 1:30 pm
Amongst the new Core Measures released for MU Stage 2, are the new requirements for electronic patient engagement. Under the final rule, HC organizations must make health information available online to more than 50 percent of their patients. Now the “catch” is that more than 5 percent of these patients need to view, download, or transmit their information on an online portal. Similarly, more than 5 percent of patients must also send an electronic message to their provider. What’s so alarming is that HC organizations will not only be measured on what they do, but also on what their patients do. How can healthcare organizations meet the government’s targets for electronic patient engagement? The answer is an Enterprise-Wide integrated Patient Portal, combined with powerful messaging technologies, into a seamless workflow which results in sustainable patient interaction and engagement. Key Strengths of our Portal: • Enterprise-Wide architecture - supporting multiple MPI & EHR data across your healthcare continuum, all under one portal (i.e. MEDITECH & other outpatient PPM systems). • Enables patients to dynamically view personalized information - based on criteria/associated risks with treatments, advices, and precautions; in order to create interoperable and community-based healthcare delivery networks. • Direct Connect under Meaningful Use Stage II - allows providers to transmit downloaded C-CDA files directly and connect to other hospitals and providers at a community, regional and state-wide level to exchange PHI in a live environment and facilitate proficient referrals. Features and Benefits: • Electronic Copy of Health Record • Patient Care Reminder Ability to send alerts for future scheduled appointments , medication reminders, and send notification to patients for follow-up based on certain diagnosis as per the facility requirement • Ability to View, Download and Transmit Continuity of Care Document and Data Portability • Secure messaging ability to communicate with care givers • Electronic Record Amendment Request • Ability to enter Family Health History to assist with patient care • Point & click physician directory for finding physicians based on specialty, location, payer type, etc. • Ability to request online appointments and eliminate the wait and phone tags, helping to improve physician staff productivity and enhance patient satisfaction • Educational and condition-specific knowledge base and content • Pharmacy Rx refills request online, and refills being automatically communicated to preferred pharmacy • Option to view Personal Electronic Chart Management in a safe and secure manner • Patient authentication – Secure way to verify existing patients using your hospital’s Master Patient Index data; expands patient profiles for personalized service • Ability to pre-register and update online demographic data for faster care service across the continuum • Option for integrating physician systems with hospital systems (if required) for seamless patient and data flow – no need to ask the same questions over and over again • Procedure-based guidance for before and after-care • Maps and Directions for finding physicians, hospitals, etc. Omeed Shams is a Product Manager for The Shams Group specializing in Innovation & New Product Development, with a focus on Patient Engagement.

Session: 514 Presenter: Mae-ellen Gavin Organization: Imprivata
Scheduled: Wednesday May 28 at 2:30 pm
Today the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and 44 states allow electronic prescriptions for controlled substances. New York is leading the nation in its efforts to stop the diversion of prescription drugs with the I-STOP (Internet System for Tracking Over-Prescribing) law that mandates the use of electronic prescribing by all prescribers, for all medications, including controlled substances, no later than March 27, 2015. Whether driven by a regulatory, productivity or security perspective, many facilities are making the move to one electronic workflow for prescribing all medications, which can increase overall e-Prescribing adoption and lead to higher incentives for Meaningful Use. Despite the clear benefits, e-Prescribing can be challenging, especially when it pertains to controlled substances. Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) requires a new approach that includes certification, identity proofing and credentialing providers, and often, new technology for 2-factor authentication.
