IMPACT - Connecting
Long Term and Post-Acute
Care Organizations to the
Healthcare System of the
Future
February 2013
Drs. Larry Garber and Terry O’Malley
Agenda
 Problems with care transitions
 What is Long Term and Post-Acute Care
(LTPAC)?
 IMPACT – addressing LTPAC needs
 ONC’s S&I Framework - Developing national
standards for transitions of care datasets
 LAND & SEE – software to facilitate
integrating LTPAC into electronic health
information exchanges (HIE)
2
Communication & Adverse Events
• Poor care coordination increases the chance
that a patient will suffer from a medication
error or other health care mistake by 140%
(Lu, et al., 2011)
• Communication failures between providers
contribute to nearly 70% of medical errors
and adverse events in health care
(Gandhi, et al., 2000)
• 150,000 preventable ADEs ($8 Billion
nationwide wasted) each year occur at the
time of admission due to inadequate
knowledge of outpatient medication history
(Stiell, et al., 2003)
3
Problems With ED Visits
• Physicians in the Emergency Department
(ED) lack important or critical patient
information 32% of the time
• 15% of ED admissions could be avoided
if the ED had outpatient information
(Stiell, et al., 2003)
4
Problems After Hospital Discharge
• 1.5 Million preventable adverse events
annually nationwide from discharge
treatment plans not followed (Forster, et al., 2003)
• When multiple physicians are treating a
patient following a hospital discharge, 78% of
the time information about the patient’s care
is missing (van Walraven, et al., 2008)
• 20% of Medicare patients are readmitted
within 30 days. Preventable readmissions
waste $26B nationwide annually
(McCarthy, et al., 2009)
5
Ambulatory Care is Just as Bad
• 68% of specialists receive no
information from the referring PCP
prior to referral visits
• 25% of PCPs do not receive timely
post-referral information from
specialists (Gandhi, et al., 2000)
6
Is Massachusetts Different?
• Preventable readmissions waste $577
Million in Massachusetts annually
• MA ranks 35th in the nation on
measures of quality relating to
coordination of care, such as
preventable hospitalizations for chronic
conditions and hospital readmissions
(McCarthy, et al., 2009)
7
National care transitions experts
overwhelmingly identified
“improving information flow and
exchange” as the most important
tool to improve care transitions
(ONC, 2011)
8
An Odd Twist of Fate
• 2008 – Economy crashed
• 2009 – ARRA passes, including the Health
Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health
– $27 Billion for hospital and MD practice EHRs
– Must use the EHR in a “Meaningful” way,
including improved communication with
others that have EHRs
• But Long Term and Post-Acute Care was
left out!

Yet Post-acute Care Costs are
Rising faster than acute care costs

How is LTPAC Different
Than Acute Care or Typical
Office-Base Care?
16
Type of LTPAC Patient
• Closer to end of life
• Greater number of health concerns, meds,
healthcare providers, and care settings
• Reduced cognitive capabilities
• Increased risk of adverse events
• Reduced mobility; increased risk of falls
• Increased transportation issues/costs
• Less financial and social support
• More legal issues
17
Type of LTPAC Organization
• Limited financial and human resources
• Fewer incentives for EHRs or HIE participation
– Less likely to have risk-sharing contracts
– Not part of HITECH/Meaningful Use
• Limited technological infrastructure:
– LAN/WIFI
– IT Security/Policies/Backup/Redundancy
– EHR, if present, likely to be ASP model
• Being asked to care for increasingly more
complex patients
MU’s Impact on LTPAC
• Meaningful Use defines the datasets that
Hospitals send when patients are
discharged
• ~40% of Medicare patients are
discharged to traditional LTPAC settings
(SNF, Home Health, Inpatient Rehab
Facility, etc…)
• These patients are the sickest population
and account for ~80% of Medicare costs

Massachusetts (MTC/MeHI):
Improving Massachusetts Post-Acute
Care Transfers (IMPACT)
20
IMPACT Objectives & Strategies
• Facilitate developing a national standard
of data elements for transitions across the
continuum of care
• Develop software tools to
acquire/view/edit/send these data
elements (LAND & SEE)
• Integrate and validate tools into
Worcester County using Learning
Collaborative methodology
• Measure outcomes
21
Developing National
Standards to Support
LTPAC Needs
22
Datasets for Care Transitions
• Traditionally – What the sender thinks
is important to the receiver
• Future – Also take into account what
the receiver says they need
23
MA DPH Universal Transfer Form
• Started with DPH’s 3-pg Discharge Form
• Sought input from LTPAC “receivers”
• Reviewed existing forms and datasets:
– MDS
– OASIS
– IRF-PAI
– INTERACT
• Sought expert opinions
• Resulted in 7-page UTF

Getting Connected:
LAND & SEE
59
LAND & SEE
• Sites with EHR or electronic assessment tool
use these applications to enter data elements
– LAND (“Local” Adaptor for Network
Distribution) acts as a data courier to gather,
transform, and securely transfer data if no
support for Direct SMTP/SMIME or IHE XDR
• Non-EHR users complete all of the data fields
and routing using a web browser
to access their “Surrogate EHR
Environment” (SEE)
60
Surrogate EHR Environment (SEE)
• Acts as destination for routed CCD+ documents
• Software hosted by trusted authority, accessed via
web browser
• SEE is accessed via the HIE’s web mailbox
• Non-EHR users able to use SEE to view, edit, send
CDA documents via HIE or Direct to next facility
• Can select document type (e.g. Transfer of Care or
INTERACT SBAR) to display section flags indicating
their optionality
• Can reconcile 2 documents to create a third
• SEE users able to locally print copies of the
documents or subsets of the documents
61
Using SEE for LTPAC Workflows
• SNF patient getting sicker
– Subset of Transfer of Care dataset that is in SBAR
(INTERACT) is flagged for completion by nurse online
– Can re-use data received from hospital
– Can re-use clinical assessment data (function,
cognition, wound) from last MDS
– Completed SBAR printed for chart
• Patient transfer to Emergency Department
– Can re-use hospital, MDS, OASIS or SBAR data
– Multiple users (nurse, social worker, clerk, etc…) can
work on different sections online at same time
– Completed ToC dataset sent electronically to ED
– Subset can be printed for ambulance team

Advantages of LAND & SEE
• Most role-based authentication uses EHR, using
work that local organizations have already done
• Most users (docs & nurses) only work out of 1
system
• Data re-used whenever possible
• No blended central clinical data repository
• Case/discharge managers or nurses can control
when and where to route documents because
they’re the ones that know when and where!
• Non-EHR users get same HIE transport
functionality as EHR users
• Relatively low-cost to deploy and support
• Easily scalable and replicable
66
Standard Configurations of LAND
Necessary to support some advanced
characteristics of IMPACT:
• MDS XML documents from Nursing
Facilities
• OASIS XML documents from Home
Health agencies
• Expanded data set beyond what is in a
standard CCD
67
Outbound LAND configurations
• Merge a standard CCD and a second XML
document that contains additional data
elements into a “Transfer of Care” CDA
document
• Transform data element transmitted via an
HL7 2.x Results interface from an EHR into
a “Transfer of Care” CDA document
• Transform an MDS XML file into a CCD*
• Transform an OASIS XML file into a CCD*
*Exploring the use of Pennsylvania’s “KeyHIE Transform”
(AKA “The Gobbler”) as cheaper alternative
68
Inbound LAND configurations
• Transform a “Transfer of Care” CDA document
into a free-text document
• Transform a “Transfer of Care” CDA document
into a free-text document and transmit it to an
EHR via an HL7 2.x Transcription interface
• Transform a “Transfer of Care” CDA document
into discrete data elements and transmit them
to an EHR via an HL7 2.x Results interface
• Transform a “Transfer of Care” CDA document
into a standard CCD and a second XML
document that contains additional data
elements
69
Next Steps for Pilot Sites
 Update gap analysis using expanded dataset
 Catalog which data elements are captured (and by whom using what
vocabulary) electronically, on paper, or not at all with current standard
process
 Of those captured electronically (including CCD, MDS & OASIS), identify
process (technology & workflow) to make these available to LAND (for
Phase 2).
 Identify workflow to review new documents in SEE
 Notification by email or text message, and to whom?
 View online vs. print? Who does it and where?
 Can any of the data elements received be electronically filed
discretely for re-use using LAND?
 Identify workflow to update and send SEE document with current info
when discharging to Home Health or ED transfer
 How can standard and non-standard data elements be collected and
added online using SEE to the documents being sent?
 How will copies be printed for patient and ambulance?
 Additional computers, printers, or chairs required?
