Name the dataset that is used by both CMS and the Joint Commission. Name three of the data items in the dataset. Solution In early 1999, The Joint Commission solicited input from a wide variety of stakeholders (e.g., clinical professionals, health care provider organizations, state hospital associations, health care consumers) and convened a Cardiovascular Conditions Clinical Advisory Panel about the potential focus areas for core measures for hospitals. In May 2001, the Joint Commission announced four initial core measurement areas for hospitals, which included acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and heart failure (HF). Simultaneously, The Joint Commission worked with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on the AMI, and HF sets that were common to both organizations. CMS and the Joint Commission worked to align the measure specifications for use in the 7th Scope of Work and for Joint Commission accredited hospitals. Hospitals began collecting AMI measures for patient discharges beginning July 1, 2002. In November of 2003, CMS and The Joint Commission began to work to precisely and completely align these common measures so that they are identical. This resulted in the creation of one common set of measure specifications documentation known as the Specifications Manual for National Hospital Inpatient Quality Measures to be used by both organizations. The Manual contains common (i.e., identical) data dictionary, measure information forms, algorithms, etc. The goal is to minimize data collection efforts for these common measures and focus efforts on the use of data to improve the health care delivery process .

Building a Citywide, All-Payer, Hospital Claims Database to Improve Health Care Delivery in a Low-Income, Urban Community Kennen Gross, PhD, MPH, 1 Jeffrey C. Brenner, MD, 1 Aaron Truchil, MS, 1 Ernest M. Post, MD, 2 and Amy Henderson Riley, MA, CHES 1 Abstract Developing data-driven local solutions to address rising health care costs requires valid and reliable local data. Traditionally, local public health agencies have relied on birth, death, and specific disease registry data to guide health care planning, but these data sets provide neither health information across the lifespan nor information on local health care utilization patterns and costs. Insurance claims data collected by local hospitals for administrative purposes can be used to create valuable population health data sets. The Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers partnered with the 3 health systems providing emergency and inpatient care within Camden, New Jersey, to create a local population all-payer hospital claims data set. The combined claims data provide unique insights into the health status, health care utilization patterns, and hospital costs on the population level. The cross-systems data set allows for a better understanding of the impact of high utilizers on a community-level health care system. This article presents an introduction to the methods used to develop Camden’s hospital claims data set, as well as results showing the population health insights obtained from this unique data set. (Population Health Management 2013;16:S-20–S-25) Surveillance is an integral part of public healthpractice. The ability to obtain accurate, timely information about the patterns of disease incidence and mortality has traditionally been a central goal of public health. With the growing concerns over the inefficient uses of health care services and rising health care costs, public health must add cost and utilization to its surveillance practice. A key component of any surveillance system is that data are gathered at the geographic level at which the interventions will be delivered. For example, interventions that aim to reduce preterm delivery must be delivered to those at risk for preterm delivery, creating a need for preterm delivery surveillance data at the city or neighborhood level in order to understand the size, scale, and geographic concentration of the problem. Birth outcome surveillance data, such as prevalence of preterm births, have been available through birth certificate registry data sets. These data sets are compiled from birth certificate forms that states require hospitals to complete and send to state health departments. State health departments process the data, creating local population data sets for city and county health departments. Death certificate data are compiled via a similar procedure.1,2 Birth and death data sets allow for local surveillance information about what conditions residents are born with and die from, but do not pro ...

Where has healthcare information management been historically? How has the introduction of technology dramatically changed the landscape? How has the introduction of technology increased the need for and importance of proper management? Solution . The name of the function changed from medical records management to health information management as enhancements in technology expanded responsibilities from managing paper records to managing the full scope of the process of collecting and sharing electronically- captured information among disparate entities. The history of health information management begins with the simplest form of recording a patient’s symptoms, complaints and treatment for the use of one provider, to a comprehensive aggregation, integration and harmonization of data to support collaboration among providers, researchers and administrators. The First Medical Records The earliest forms of medical records were narratives written by ancient Greeks to document successful cures, share observations about symptoms and outcomes, and teach others who provided medical advice through these case studies. While written reports describing patients’ complaints and diagnoses predate the records of Simon Forman and Richard Napier – astrologers who documented clients’ medical questions and treatment – their records from 1596 to 1634 form the earliest complete collection of medical records in existence. The 1920s As healthcare advanced, physicians realized that the best way to continue improving diagnosing and treating illnesses was to carefully document observations and actions while treating patients – and share this information as a way to teach other health professionals. As early as 1600, physicians offered advice on how to present information in a medical record, but it wasn’t until 1928 that the American College of Surgeons (ACOS) took steps to standardize the growing number of medical records by establishing the American Association of Record Librarians (AARL) – known today as the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). “Record librarians” was the term used because early medical records were documented on paper. Standardization of medical records and growth of complete record-keeping continued from the 1920s through the 1960s, but records were paper-based. The 1960s The development of computers presented the opportunity to maintain records electronically, but the expense of purchasing and maintaining a mainframe, and the expense associated with storage of data, meant that only the largest organizations could use technology to handle medical records. The field of health informatics, as it is known today, emerged when computer technology became sophisticated enough to manage large amounts of data. One of the earliest efforts took place under the jurisdiction of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). These first standards addressed laboratory message exchange, properties for electronic health record syste.

Strengthening Public Health and Primary Care Collaboration Through Electronic Health Records Electronic health records (EHRs) have great potential to serve as a catalyst for more effective coordination between public health departments and primary care providers (PCP) in maintaining healthy communities. As a system for docu- menting patient health data, EHRs can be harnessed to improve public health surveillance for communicable and chronic illnesses. EHRs facilitate clinical alerts informed by public health goals that guide primary care physicians in real time in their diagnosis and treatment of patients. As health departments reassess their public health agendas, the use of EHRs to facilitate this agenda in primary care settings should be considered. PCPs and EHR vendors, in turn, will need to configure their EHR systems and practice work- flows to align with public health priorities as these agendas include increased involvement of primary care providers in addressing public health concerns. (Am J Public Health. 2012;102: e13–e18. doi:10.2105/AJPH. 2012.301000) Neil Calman, MD, Diane Hauser, MPA, Joseph Lurio, MD, Winfred Y. Wu, MD, MPH, and Michelle Pichardo, MPH ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS (EHRs) have great potential to serve as a catalyst for more effective coordination between public health departments and primary care providers in maintaining healthy communities. As promi- nent health risks to the community continue their shift from conta- gious diseases to chronic illnesses, public health departments are in- creasingly focused on conditions such as diabetes and obesity. At the same time, serious threats persist from traditional public health concerns, such as communicable disease outbreaks. Primary care providers, and particularly community health centers (CHCs), that provide care for low-income populations are on the front lines in treating and containing both communicable diseases and chronic illnesses that are more prevalent in these communities. Traditional models of primary care are also evolving, with increased focus on community- based approaches in response to changing financial incentives and formal recognition programs, such as the Patient-Centered Medical Home certification offered by the National Committee for Quality Assurance and the Joint Commis- sion.1,2 Use of these models is facilitated by the parallel increase in adoption of EHRs. Federal incentive programs have been a proponent of EHR implementation and “meaningful use” of EHRs among primary care providers, with targeted funding to support their adoption among CHCs.3 The promotion of health information technology to improve the public’s health is 1 of 5 focus areas for meaningful use of EHRs. Finally, 1 of the 3-part aims of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMMS) is the improvement of population health—a goal that will only be met through improved coordination of primary care and public .

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is recognized as a public health crisis worldwide (IADRP, 2013). AD is a complex neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia among the elderly people (Evans et al., 1989). Currently, there are approximately five million AD cases in the United States and about 35 million cases worldwide (Alzheimer's Disease International, 2009. The focus of this case study is on the Uniform Data Set (UDS), a longitudinal database on Alzheimer’s patients, and the 29 Alzheimer’s Disease Centers (ADC) that submit their data to the UDS and actively collaborate in the ongoing maintenance, development and research utilization of the database. The ADCs are based in major medical institutions across the United States. They have a multi-decade track record of collaborative research and a networked and virtual approach to the scientific study of AD. The central coordinating mechanism for the ADCs and the UDS is the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC), which is located at the University of Washington. The NACC coordinates data collection and supports collaborative research among the ADCs.

EN EN COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 23.10.2007 COM(2007) 630 final WHITE PAPER Together for Health: A Strategic Approach for the EU 2008-2013 (presented by the Commission) {SEC(2007) 1374} {SEC(2007) 1375} {SEC(2007) 1376} EN 2 EN WHITE PAPER Together for Health: A Strategic Approach for the EU 2008-2013 1. WHY A NEW HEALTH STRATEGY? Health is central in people's lives and needs to be supported by effective policies and actions in Member States, at EC1 level and at global level. Member States have the main responsibility for health policy and provision of healthcare to European citizens. The EC's role is not to mirror or duplicate their work. However, there are areas where Member States cannot act alone effectively and where cooperative action at Community level is indispensable. These include major health threats and issues with a cross- border or international impact, such as pandemics and bioterrorism, as well as those relating to free movement of goods, services and people. To carry out this role, cross-sectoral work is required. Article 152 of the EC Treaty says that a "high level of human health protection shall be ensured in the definition and implementation of all Community policies and activities". This Strategy reinforces the importance of health in policies such as the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs, emphasising the links between health and economic prosperity, and the Citizens' Agenda, recognising people's right to be empowered in relation to their health and healthcare. Actions in the Strategy represent work on health across all sectors. Health is found in Treaty articles on the Internal Market, Environment, Consumer Protection, Social Affairs including the Safety and Health of Workers, Development Policy, and Research, amongst many others2. The EC's important role in health policy has been reaffirmed in the Reform Treaty which was agreed by EU Heads of State and Government in Lisbon on 19 October 2007, and which proposes to reinforce the political importance of health. A new overall aim on supporting citizens' wellbeing is expected, as well as an encouragement of cooperation amongst Member States on health and health services. Work on health at Community level adds value to Member States' actions, particularly in the area of prevention of illness, including work on food safety and nutrition, the safety of medical products, tackling smoking, legislation on blood, tissues and cells, and organs, water and air quality, and the launch of a number of health-related agencies. However, there are several growing challenges to the health of the population which require a new strategic approach. – Firstly, demographic changes including population ageing are changing disease patterns and putting pressure on the sustainability of EU health systems. Supporting healthy ageing means both promoting health throughout the lifespan, aiming to prevent h ...

The New Focus on Quality and Outcomes Introduction In 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a groundbreaking analysis of the impact of medical errors on the health care delivery system and the patients it serves. The analysis, published as "To Err is Human: Building a Safer Healthcare System," concluded that medical errors resulted in up to 98,000 patient deaths in American hospitals every year. This report hit the national press and participants in the health care system and the political system with the force of a large bomb. Since that time, hospitals and other health care entities have refocused their attention on quality, errors, and patient safety in an unprecedented way, urged on by public outcry and by federal and state efforts to compel improvements in the health care system. Such entities as the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (www.ihi.org) the National Quality Forum (www.qualityforum.org), and the Institute of Medicine (www.iom.edu) have all emerged as champions of quality and safety initiatives, offering training, resources, access to best practices, and data collection strategies to move the cause of quality and safety for patients forward. History The IOM report had a huge impact on the discussion of quality and safety in the health care field. Aspects of quality care have always been present in hospitals, typically focused around the quality assurance or quality management departments. They historically collected data on department indicators and monitored them as part of accreditation. However, departmental data was typically focused on operational performance in the departments in question, and not a great deal was collected on issues of medical errors and near-misses. The litigious legal climate caused most hospitals to fear collecting and sharing data that could potentially be used against them in a legal action. However, the IOM report caused a national demand to know what health care institutions were doing to protect their patients from injury caused by errors. A climate of increased transparency has begun to emerge, although it is still a very long way from the concept of full openness on standardized reporting of indicators. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) weighed in with publication of their never-events, as explored further below. Finally there has been an increased push for public reporting of data on individual hospital performance on selected indicators. While some progress has been made, there is a large range of indicators that is not yet publically reported, and medical errors are not publically reported at all at this point, although those with great potential to cause harm must be reported to their relevant state licensing agency. What Is Happening Now Out of all this push has come an increasing focus on patient safety as a critical aspect of health care quality. Hospitals and other health care institutions are experimenting with the creation of cultures of quality, wherein ...

283NURSING ECONOMIC$/July-August 2010/Vol. 28/No. 4 I N 2004, THOSE OF US IN nursing informatics or who fol- low health information technology (HIT) trends were thrilled when President George W. Bush said in his 2004 State of the Union address “…an Electronic Health Record for every American by the year 2014…by computerizing health records, we can avoid dangerous medical mistakes, reduce costs, and improve care” (Bush, 2004). This was the first time a president formally recognized the value of HIT and set a deadline to do something about it! President Bush went on to establish the Office of the National Coordinator for HIT (ONC), and Dr. David Brailer was appointed as the first coordinator by Tommy Thompson, then Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The support continued. In 2005, funding from HHS was earmarked to establish organizations for standards harmonization (HIT Standards Panel) and for certification of electronic health record (EHR) systems (Certification Commission for HIT). In 2006, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) launched its National Resource Center for HIT. Government attention persisted in 2007 with the funding of National Health Information Network pro- totypes. Momentum was building and there was much attention on HIT from the federal government. Fast forward to 2009. President-Elect Barack Obama says he wants the federal government to invest in EHRs so all medical records are digitized within 5 years and vows to continue to push for the 2014 deadline established by Bush. “This will cut waste, eliminate red tape, and reduce the need to repeat expensive medical tests,” he said, adding that the switch also will save lives by reducing the number of errors in medicine (Obama, 2009). President Obama then does more than talk about HIT. He works with Congress to pass the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), providing unprecedented funding to promote health care reform through the use of HIT. Incentives totaling $19 billion are allocated for “meaningful use” of EHRs in hospitals and ambulatory settings beginning in 2011. This sets the stage for today’s focus on the use of HIT, and the proliferation of EHR implementation projects in our clinical settings. Let’s explore the legislative background and details surrounding the federal incentives. Legislative Background On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the landmark Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), a federal statute that represents the most recent legislation in a sweeping health care reform agenda driven into law by the Democratic 111th Congress and the Obama Administration. The new law is dedicated to replacing a broken system with one that ensures all Americans have access to health care that is both affordable and driven by quality standards. It includes broad provisions for improving health care delivery that will take affect from the moment of enactment through 20 ...
