Evolving IndustryPatient Care Outside of Office Visits: A Primary Care Physician Time Study - J Gen Intern Med. Jan 2011; 26(1): 58–63.
• 20% of workday spent delivering care outside of visits
• These efforts mostly go unnoticed/unreimbursed
• “Policies supporting physician and staff time spent on [clinical activities outside of visits] may reduce health care costs, save time for patients and physicians, and improve care coordination.”

Process1. Inventory and categorization of existing ‘visit
types’ or ‘note types’ or ‘encounter types’
2. Re-categorization
3. System changes and training
4. Reporting changes
![Page 12: ACHA 2014 Administration Section Hot Topics Utilization Reporting: Cornell’s Response to Evolving Health Care Delivery Christopher Payne, PT, MHA Associate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e6a5503460f94b683c3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Inventory and CategorizationKey Questions
1. What do we call a ‘visit’?
2. What else do we count, and what labels do we use?
3. Are the encounters we call visits face-to-face and unduplicated in the same day?

Tricky. Can get a raw count of secure messages sent…but needed to know:
• Was the secure message THE encounter? If so, we want to count it.
• Was it part of another encounter (e.g., sent in the course of a visit or a miscellaneous note)? If so, we don’t want to double count.

Key Lessons Learned
When categorizing visits, test what you learnProviders often use visit/encounter notes in unanticipated ways; chart reviews are helpful
Stay connected with your EHR template developers:
Template design is very influentialTemplate designers are very influential
Be aware of your visit type volume:More visit types = more complexity for set-up and reporting
Focus on the ‘story-telling’ value with providers
![Page 62: ACHA 2014 Administration Section Hot Topics Utilization Reporting: Cornell’s Response to Evolving Health Care Delivery Christopher Payne, PT, MHA Associate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e6a5503460f94b683c3/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Key Next Steps
• Graphic summaries of data (volume can overwhelm)
• Explore CPT coding for services that can be coded
• Re-examine key metric: Percent of student population reached
• Re-examine other key breakouts, including by:• Insurance type• Financial aid status• Ethnicity• Gender
