Introduction: Organization
What MyDirectives does
• Enable persons to create, store, update, retrieve and share personal emergency, critical
and advance (ECA) care plan information via internet and iPhone accessible applications
• Help people express their goals, preferences and priorities for their medical treatment
in the event of a healthcare emergency.
MyDirectives is involved in services and support
• Serve as a blueprint to be shared by a person’s care team, with the individual at the
center
• Help guide care if the person ever becomes a patient and cannot effectively
communicate with caregivers.
• Capable of achieving interoperability with various EMR, EHR, PHR and patient portal
platforms, either directly or via an HIE
• ECA care plan produced by MyDirectives can be shared with other systems that create
and manage eLTSS care plans.
MyDirectives is currently supporting eLTSS activities
• Various eLTSS stakeholders are already using MyDirectives for the purposes discussed
above.

Introduction:
MyDirectives Role in eLTSS Pilots
MyDirectives is a tool that Beneficiaries, Advocates, eLTSS Plan
Developers and eLTSS Plan Facilitators/Stewards can use to
capture, store and share elements of the eLTSS Plan, including
the following:
• Personal Information (Demographics, Relationships, Choice &
Decision Making and Person-Centered Profile)
• Health, Wellness & Rights (Medications and Safety)
• Service Planning & Coordination (Payer Information)
• Family & Caregiver Information (Family Information)
• Cross-Cutting Sub-domains (Goals and Priorities)

MyDirectives Pilot Introduction:
Business Drivers
•
•
•
•
Voice of all consumers
– We do not focus exclusively on people who are elderly, frail, developmentally or physically
challenged, or chronically or terminally ill
Free to consumers
– Benefit offered by payers and a value-add, “meaningful use” certified EHR module licensed to
providers.
– Anyone can go to MyDirectives.com or download MyDirectives MOBILE™ to create and share
his or her ECA care plan
VISION: “Person-centered healthcare” cannot exist without the voice of the person, and valuebased payment systems will not work if providers and payers do not know what their patients and
beneficiaries value.
MISSION
– Every citizen over the age of 18 should have a basic, high-quality ECA care plan that can be
accessed whenever and wherever needed.
– Provider workflows must be adapted to make emergency, critical and advance care planning a
standard, normalized process for every patient encounter – just like measuring height, weight,
blood pressure and temperature.
– Healthcare systems must leverage technology as much as possible to ensure that every person
has an ECA care plan, that the plan is of the highest quality, and that the plan is accessible 24/7,
anywhere in the world.

MyDirectives Pilot Workflow
Current Status:
• ECA care planning is largely reserved for the elderly, frail and sickest members of
society
• Despite talk of “patient-centered” and “person-centered” healthcare, providers
and caregivers take little time to ask what the patient wants in the event they
cannot communicate – then it is too late
• Providers assume that people do not want to talk about ECA care planning,
cannot use technology, or “aren’t smart enough to understand” the process or
the implications of their decisions
• Even when ECA care plans exist, the typically are inaccessible and/or of low
quality
Pilot “Success”:
• Change in provider workflows to normalize the capture of a person’s goals,
preferences and priorities, regardless of age or health status
• Prove that technology can be leveraged to help beneficiaries, advocates and
caregivers create, store, update, retrieve and share ECA care plan elements,
which will result in better healthcare

MyDirectives Pilot Tiers
We hope to partner with eLTSS Pilot Sites and solution providers interested in working through all three
pilot tiers.
We believe that the following the three-tier approach will allow pilots to work through all the issues that
need to be considered when introducing technology in the delivery of long-term care services.
•
Tier 1: develop, clarify, and normalize workflows that can support the use of paper ECA care plan
documents that contribute the person’s goals, preferences, and priorities to the eLTSS care planning
process.
•
Tier 2: demonstrate improved workflows that support more efficient access to ECA care plan
information generated by beneficiaries through exchange of digital information with consumer and
provider facing systems.
•
Tier 3: seek to demonstrate more effective workflows that support automated transfer of
consumer-generated digital documents and real-time ECA care plan updates between beneficiaries,
caregivers, providers and payers (subject to security and privacy requirements) when a person
modifies his or her goals, preferences, or priorities for care, changes his or her healthcare agent(s),
or changes other preferences relating to palliative and supportive care, organ donation or autopsy.
We also hope to show how the data being shared can be used to support data analytics for clinical
decision making, clinical quality management, and beneficiary and caregiver satisfaction with care
received.

MyDirectives Pilot Activities
•
MyDirectives will pilot the following activities:
– Create Plan
– Approve/Authorize Plan/Services
– Access, View, Review Plan
– Update Plan
• MyDirectives will work with the following service providers:
– Janie Appleseed (Consumer educator and advocate)
– Coordinated Care Oklahoma (Health Information Exchange)
– Seeking other partners (TEFT Grantees, Payers, Clinical and Institutional-based Providers,
EHR/EMR/PHR/patient portal and HIE platform developers, vendors and operators, eLTSS Plan
Developers, etc.)
• Electronic systems currently in use are as follows:
– We know that Coordinated Care Oklahoma and its member organizations have an electronic
system (Cerner HIE).
– MyDirectives is interoperable with several platforms, and proving additional interoperability
would be a goal of the pilot.
• The following sub-domains will be piloted:
– Choice & Decision Making, Relationships, Demographics, Person-Centered Profile, Medication,
Safety, Payer Information, Family Information, Health, Goals and Priorities

MyDirectives Pilot Logistics
• Timeline:
– Milestones for completion of round one pilot by April 2016:
• Kick off: October 2015
• Identification of Partners/Providers: November 2015
• Completion of Requirement Traceability Matrix: March 2016
• Completion of Round-One Pilot: April 2016
• Challenges:
– Finding providers and payers willing to pilot and who have financial
resources and bandwidth available to do so.
– Changing provider mindsets and workflows to prioritize and normalize ECA
care planning (e.g., resident/patient intake, ongoing
customer/beneficiary/patient visits, etc.).
– Lack of technology or emerging standards are not a problem with ECA care
planning.

MyDirectives Pilot Success
•
•
•
Demonstrate that technology can be used to include the consumer’s perspective as the
starting point or foundation for the eLTSS plan
– Improve the quality of the plan and producing outcomes that more clearly
demonstrate “person-centered care”
– Improve the person’s (and the caregiver’s, care team member’s, family’s, and payer’s)
experience when he or she becomes a patient
– Improve population health management, and decrease per capita cost of care
Additional performance metrics should include the following:
– How many customers/beneficiaries/patients have ECA care plans that include highquality advance directives?
– Are those ECA care plans readily accessible?
– How often are those ECA care plans accessed, retrieved and reviewed, and by whom?
– How often are the person’s goals, preferences and priorities expressed in those ECA
care plans able to be incorporated into the development of the person’s care plan or
LTSS plan?
– What effect does such incorporation (if possible) have on the quality of care outcomes
for the person, his or her family and caregivers?
Additional Clinical Quality Measures may be required in order to record these metrics.
