Adverse event (AE): injury or death of a patient Near miss: an event or situation that could have resulted in AE but did not Medical Error: failure in execution of plan and its details OR use of wrong plan 56 Complex Nature of Medical Care ICU study Average of 178 “activities” per patient per day 99% proficiency rate means 1.7 errors per patient per day Even 99.9% may not be safe enough 57 Latent Errors in System Design Three Mile Island, Bhopal, Chernobyl, Challenger disaster “Accidents waiting to happen” Human error is proximate cause Root cause(s) present in system - long time The error is a symptom of the underlying systemic disorder 58 Perspective on medical errors Physicians, nurses, pharmacists are highly trained, careful, and dedicated professionals Lack of awareness of scale of problem Most errors do no harm Most errors are symptoms of the underlying systemic disorder. EMR is one of the solutions to the systemic disorders of the health care delivery 59 The Work of Providers What is the real work of health care providers, i.e., those with direct patient contact? Process information Apply technical skill Build relationships 60 Information Processing Start with a baseline knowledge and experience Acquire information from the patient Supplement with examination and diagnostic testing – both past and present Use baseline knowledge, occasionally supplemented information at time of care, to formulate a plan of care 61 Information processing Communicate the plan Orders/prescriptions – i.e. information transfer to other providers Information transfer to the patient Information to referring physician/PCP Orders implemented Charges applied to services rendered Interfaced with IDX system for efficient billing and collection 62 Physicians and Information: Communication With each other… InBox messaging With our patients… IQ Health With our referring physicians Auto-fax Direct access Employers 63 PHYSICIAN’S ORDERS ORDERS HANDWRITTEN 0:02min Doctor writes order 0:33 Average until unit secretary enters order 0:11 Unit secretary enters order 0:34 Average until nurse begins to verify order 0:06 Nurse verifies order 1:26 Pharmacy receives order ORDERS GENERATED ONLINE 0:03 Doctor writes order/Pharmacy receives order Source: Modern Healthcare, 2001 64 EMR and Physicians’ orders In hospitals, when physicians order medications for patients electronically, serious medical errors were reduced by 55%. D. Bates, M.D., Brigham and Women’s Hospital. 65 Documentation Documentation occupies a significant portion of physicians’ effort in providing medical care. Good documentation improves medical care and a defense against medical lawsuits More lawsuits are defended because of good record keeping than because of actual events. 66 Credibility of Medical Records Delayed filing of lab results Incomplete files Illegible records Altered records Fabricated records Loss and concealment of records 67 Physician Documentation MUHC is in the forefront of implementing these capabilities Over 100,000 Power Notes have been completed – almost all inpatient We have the skill and commitment of physicians necessary to continue progress in this area 68 Plan of Care The most appropriate plan of care requires the presence of all needed information at the point of decision-making In its simplest – this concept means everything now available on paper spread out across a system of care is available instantly in an organized, retrievable fashion at all locations of care via the EMR 69 Physicians and Information: Knowledge at the Point of Care On-line resources Structured documentation Order sets Alerts & reminders Continuous Quality & Safety Improvement 70 71 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Secured access to the data: Password Electronic signature Close monitoring access to EMR: Employees are prohibited to view even their own medical records. 72 Benefits of EMR Improves quality of care Information available at time and place of care Reduces medical errors Improves coordination of care Providers’ better professional lives More efficient More effective Less professional liability Ref 3, 4, 5, 6 73 Benefits of EMR Improves the institution’s financial performance: Improves billing and collections through timely and more accurately submitting the charges to insurers. Reduces healthcare costs resulting from inefficiency and incomplete information Reduces the cost of professional liability Increases volume by retaining and recruiting more patients and physicians Ref 3, 4, 5, 6 74 CRM Strategy Balance the business in favor of the customer Maintain customer loyalty DATA, DATA, DATA Qualitative research to understand customers Develop specialty programs that meet customers’ interests Know which markets and marketing strategies are the most profitable Ref. 26 75 CRM Best Practices 76 Best Practices Vision / Strategy Know your Customer Differentiate Technology – data requirements Metrics Monitor Nelson, Scott, “Eight Building Blocks of CRM” Gartner Group, June 19, 2003; http://www2.cio.com/analyst/report1483.html; last accessed October 25, 2004. 77 Vision / Strategy Alignment of vision/strategy with: Business objectives Customer requirements Organizational readiness, including capabilities, policies, incentives and practices Nelson, Scott, “Eight Building Blocks of CRM” Gartner Group, June 19, 2003; http://www2.cio.com/analyst/report1483.html; last accessed October 25, 2004. 78 Customer Analysis Identify -- know who your customer is Segment -- high-value, high-potential, lowpotential Profile -- know your customer’s habits, behaviors and profitability Nelson, Scott, “Eight Building Blocks of CRM” Gartner Group, June 19, 2003; http://www2.cio.com/analyst/report1483.html; last accessed October 25, 2004. 79 Technology – data requirements Define and map data requirements What customer data is necessary?
