Reform of the U.S. health care system is at hand. On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) upheld one of the most historic health care laws in the U.S. since the establishment of the Medicare and Medicaid programs in 1965 under President Lyndon Johnson—the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Last year, 21.4 cents of every Federal income tax dollar received went to Medicare and health care spending, second only to the military in U.S. expenditures. According to the last report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issued in March 2012, ACA will cost $1.76 trillion (net cost of $1.1 trillion) to fully implement between now and 2022. That amount represents significant provisions to fuel reform.
Prior to ACA, use of electronic health records (EHR) was triggered under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The HITECH component of this law is specifically designed to reward and accelerate interoperable EHR adoption by hospitals and providers through an incentive program known as Meaningful Use.
Between ARRA and ACA, delivery of health care in America will look very different in the next five years. The following numbers and metrics are brought to you by SuccessEHS and tell the tale of health care transformation. Enjoy!

3. ehr adoption & health
information exchange
Since the Meaningful Use program launched in January 2011, the U.S. has seen a
significant up-tick in adoption of certified EHR technology (CEHRT). Additionally,
HITECH provisioned cooperative agreements with every state and territory to “get
wired” for health information exchange (HIE). Although the adoption and use of
CEHRT and HIE is not pervasive in the marketplace, the growth is recognizable.

6. hipaa privacy, security &
breach notification
Contained in ARRA, HIPAA privacy and security was supplemented with new
regulations requiring all physicians covered under HIPAA to notify patients of
security breaches of their protected health information. This is known as the
HIPAA Breach Notification Rule. In addition to notifying affected individuals, HIPAA
covered entities must also report PHI breaches to the Secretary of HHS and, in
some cases, to the media. HIPAA breaches can carry stiff penalties regardless of
the size of the covered entity. The idea is to strengthen the fabric of public trust
that having PHI “out there” in digital form is safe, private and secure.

9. priority primary care providers
According to the National Association of Community Health Centers, the U.S. is
faced with nearly 60 million disenfranchised patients who do not have adequate
access to primary care services. Approximately 75 percent of the 2,050 rural
U.S. counties include a primary care health professional shortage area. HITECH
gives priority for needing health IT—or a Priority Primary Care Provider (PPCP).
The formal definition of a PPCP is a licensed MD, DO, nurse practitioner or
physician assistant with prescriptive privileges who provides primary care
services in the area of Family Practice, Internal Medicine, OB/Gynecology and/or
Pediatrics practicing in an individual or small practice (10 or less) serving the
uninsured, underinsured and medically underserved populations.

Community Health Centers (CHCs) are non-profit ambulatory care clinics
designed to enhance the health and well-being of all people, with particular
emphasis on those patients who are medically underserved. CHCs offer
affordable health care services through well-trained professional staff at
accessible locations throughout the country. Delivering a dedicated staff to
populations and areas that have too few options, CHCs will play a key role in
caring for newly covered Americans under the Affordable Care Act.
