Healthcare Information Technology. This was a presentation I gave at our booth at the 2009 American College of Cardiology

1. Connecting The Dots
Cardiology Informatics in 2009

3. Funding and Incentives for Healthcare IT
Creation of certification criteria
Integration of certified EHR Technology
Research and Development funding
Focus on healthcare informatics
Focus on rural health and telemedicine

4. •Up to $44K in Medicare Incentives for Physicians who adopt EHR Systems commencing in 2011
•“Meaningful EHR users” Physicians who demonstrate to HHS that they are using certified EHR technology in a meaningful manner
•Certified EHR technology is connected in a manner that provides for electronic exchange of health information to improve quality of health care
•Submit information to HHS on clinical quality measures
•Use of Electronic Prescribing requirement
Physicians Guidelines

5. •“Meaningful EHR users” Hospitals that demonstrate to HHS that they are using certified EHR technology in a meaningful manner
•Certified EHR technology is connected in a manner that provides for electronic exchange of health information to improve quality of health care
•Submit information to HHS on clinical quality measures
•No e-prescribing requirement

8. Virtual Network
See across multiple data sources

9. A method of delivering a system or application remotely in order to minimize infrastructural and economic overhead
Provides a high degree of Return on Investment as the top-tier expenditures are reduced such as hardware and labor
Remotely deployed applications are easily upgraded and maintained as all of the processes are remotely maintained as well
Application

10. Vendor Neutral
Integral Interfaces
VM Ware Deployable
SQL Analytics
Custom Reporting

11. Agile the ability to quickly access varied resources.
By utilizing a combination of interfaces and interface tools, a broader vision of the patient data can be accessed –in many cases more than the EMR itself.
“Best of Breed” record keeping systems are a start, but require vendor neutral access and agile data collection and search tools to enable data sets that might not otherwise exist.

13. Search over dissimilar data sets.
Service Line Agnostic
Service line and clinical models
Incorporate statistical quality tools

14. File Upload
Apollo Access
HL7 Interface
Lab Data
Patient Profile
Analytics
Collaboration
The EMR has mostly reached its apogee of significance without specifically addressing the granular data collection that must occur for clinical analytics that possess greater sensitivity/specificity
New interfaces technologies are still in their development that address the need to archive, categorize and consider data types such as dynamic waveforms, discrete non-HL7 data, and demographics
The EMR will evolve dimensionally from a flat database with interfaces to a dynamic 2D model with Service Oriented Architecture
These enabling technologies such as Lumedx will provide the EMR with the ability to collect, analyze and report as a service without re- inventing the wheel

15. Lumedx has over 100 tried and tested interfaces with diverse systems
ranging from
hemodynamic devices
to perfusion management systems to
financial and demographic data.

16. Reporting
Analytics
Scheduling
Charge Capture
Billing

17. Scheduler –Fully network aware scheduling system that can drive whiteboards, tablets and provides content for other systems.
Inventory System -works with any bar code or RFID device to provide point of care inventory feedback to master system
Charge Capture: Billing management system provides features to facilitate better charge capture.

18. Lumedx continues to innovate and work with their customers to provide efficacious and efficient products that provide information that allows clinicians to better care for their patients.
