Clinical Systems/Informatics

In 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was signed into law. Approximately $19.2B of those monies were targeted specifically to drive adoption of electronic health records (EHR). This has resulted in significant adoption of EHR, although gaps remain especially for behavioral health and small/rural providers. Standards-based health information exchange (HIE) also remains a challenge. As of 2018, the program was evolving into the Promoting Interoperability (PI) program.

In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law, with requirements to develop Accountable Care Organizations (ACO). Providers organized as ACO that voluntarily meet quality thresholds can share in the cost savings they achieve for the Medicare program. To qualify as an ACO, organizations must agree to be accountable for the overall care of their Medicare beneficiaries, have adequate participation of primary care physicians, support evidence-based medicine, report on quality and costs and coordinate care. These have since expanded into broader Accountable Care Networks (ACN).

Electronic health records, digital health solutions, other clinical technology and robust health information exchange will be key success factors for organizations to optimize opportunities under health care reform provisions. They will need to manage both clinical and financial risk. Efficient exchange of information, as well as integration of various data sets such as social determinant of health (housing, food and utility security, transportation) and behavioral health components, will spell success in the future. Service organizations should identify the information needs of all stakeholders, analyze how data is utilized, apply an effective planning process and implement systems with the active involvement of key constituencies.

Client Comments

"When securing a consulting resource, I look for as complete of a package in the person as possible. I want someone that has the appropriate level of content knowledge, has the ability to balance detail with the broader strategic view, the ability to take accountability and deliver results, and integrate effectively with the organization and our teams. Linda does all of these extremely well. Over a period of several years, we have worked with Linda ranging from clinical application implementation, workflow/process development, and project management. Our satisfaction is evidenced by the fact we keep bringing her back to do more. She has been a great resource to our organization and the IT Division." ~ Rand Strobel, former Vice President/Chief Information Officer, Valley Medical Center
