term care, pharmacy, assisted living, EMT’s and tertiary hospital
•As a result, Southeast Nebraska Health Information Exchange was formed
•Nationwide interoperability obtained through NHIN
The Road to Successful EHR Implementation•Have a commitment to patient safety-you
have to want it•Examine culture and address issues•Determine the vision•Evaluation of financial options•Formation of EHR project team•Vendor selection process•Develop timeline with accountability for
deadlines
Commitment to Patient Safety•There has to be a driving force in the
facility to create a safe environment for the patient-you have to want it
•In everything you do patient safety has to come first

Examine Culture and Address Issues•Culture must be a just culture:
1.Culture in facility must be open and fair
2.Culture must be one of learning
3.Culture must design safe systems
4.Culture must manage behavior choices
Behavior Standards
•Based off the book Hardwiring Excellence•Developed by employees•They are part of annual review and count
equally with job performance•Scores are calculated from peer review•A score of 80 or below requires employee
to be on probation • If, in 90 days a repeat peer review does not
score higher than 80 they are terminated
Culture is by far the most important aspect of
successful implementation of EHR

Once vision determined-next step•Perform a gap analysis1.What do you currently have in place and
is it working for you?2.What systems do we need to meet MU?3.What other systems do you want in place
for patient safety?4.What resources do you need to meet
goal?
Evaluation of Financial Options Michael Pracheil CFO•What capital is needed?
1.Considerations should include software, hardware, training, travel, data migration
2.Disaster recovery costs
3.Fire suppression and data protection
Financing
•Is there enough cash on hand for project?
•Lease options?
•Donations and grant available?
•What resources are available through Medicare and Medicaid?
Medicare Share
•“Reasonable cost” is based on cost incurred for purchase of certified EHR system during the cost reporting period and similarly incurred cost from previous cost reporting period
•Includes acquisition costs for the purchase of depreciated assets such as computers and hardware and software
Example
•CAH A incurred reasonable cost of $500,000 for purchase of certified EHR during previous cost reporting period. The CAH depreciates $100,000 in previous cost report leaving $400,000 of undepreciated costs
Calculation for Medicare Reimbursement
Formula for calculating Medicare Share:
__ #IP Part A Days + #IP Part C Days___ + 20%
Total IP Days x Total Charges - Charity Care Total Charges
CAH A Information
•CAH A had 300 Part A IP days and 400 Part C IP days, total inpatient days were 1,000, total charges excluding charity care were $2.0M, total charges were $2.2M
Results for CAH A
_____700_______ 1,000 x _$2.0 M__ +20%
$2.2 M
Equals 97% Preliminary Incentive Payment of $388,000
Incentive Payment
•The best advice concerning incentive payment is:
KEEP UP
Changes can occur all the time. What you learn
today may not apply tomorrow!
Formulation of EHR Implementation Team
•Team should have representation from all departments
•Open communication vital for success of team
•All members of the team do not need to agree•Set goals and meet those goals •Total team commitment to get project
completed•Regular meetings are important

Develop Timeline for Project
•Numerous methods available to use for timeline
• Identify tasks and mark the tasks that are mission critical
•Set start and stop dates•Identify people in charge of tasks•Hold people accountable for tasks and
deadlines
Timeline example
Accountability for project
•Strong leadership must be in place to ensure timelines are met
•Accountability can be obtained through the use of just culture and behavior standards
Success of Project
•Success can be judged by employees and physicians who are satisfied with the system and patients see a positive outcome from implementation
An Interoperability OptionDan Engle CIO
Nationwide Health Information Exchange
The Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) is being developed to provide a secure, nationwide, interoperable health information infrastructure that
will connect providers, consumers, and others involved in supporting health and healthcare. This critical part of the national health IT agenda will
enable health information to follow the consumer, be available for clinical decision making, and support appropriate use of healthcare information beyond
direct patient care so as to improve health.
Challenges
•Few rural existing examples•Lack of information about options•Broadband cost and availabilities•Legal barriers
TCHS demonstration!
Thayer County Chose Mirth MUX option •MUX ( Meaningful Use eXchange )•National or Global vs. Statewide•Cost•Minimal bandwidth requirements•Non-EHR specific
CONNECT
•CONNECT gateway ( open source )•2 step request for information•Health Care facilities that have an
agreement•Patients data that is requested displays
• Information Technology said it would work•Test data had only been sent on the NHIN
between facilities•There were doubts from other HIE’s in
Nebraska about NHIN• If NHIN was to be endorsed I had to see it
myself• If our actions do not help a patient than all
is for nothing
Joyce Beck CEO
•Dr. Bryan Hubl ordered lab test in Hebron for wellness check
•Lab results obtained and placed in EHR in Hebron
•Lab results then made available to Redwood MedNet in California for actual wellness exam
•Information also available on USB to fulfill meaningful use
•Wellness exam completed by Dr. Jeff Meckler at Alliance Medical Center, Healdsburg, California
•Lab results from Thayer County retrieved by Redwood MedNet via CONNECT gateway
•Results of labs and x-ray of left hip taken in Healdsburg placed in Alliance Medical Center EHR
•Results could be placed on USB bracelet or card at patient request
•This product available through 911 Medical ID or Zaptag
•Returned to Thayer County Health Services to be seen by Dr. Hubl
•Wellness exam as well as results of lab work was available to Dr. Hubl via the NHIN therefore no duplication of testing necessary
•Dr. Hubl was able to recommend treatment based on information gathered in both Hebron, Nebraska and Healdsburg, California
Interoperability is a part of MU
•Ask questions•Talk to vendors•Don’t accept one solution options
Dan Engle CIO
“Don’t Worry about Interoperability,
Until you are Operable!”
