Physician Organization HIT Assessment Questionnaire Introduction MSMS and MiHIN, with assistance from the Michigan Data Collaborative, would like to meet with you to obtain your input on the following questions regarding your current and anticipated HIEQO needs. The information obtained through these meetings will be used to inform the HIEQO community regarding potential partnership opportunities and facilitate POs in their selection of an HIEQO. The information will also be shared with BCBSM for consideration of potential PGIP incentive opportunities. HIE awareness and engagement Do you currently use an HIE qualified organization (HIEQO) for data transmission purposes? If yes, which one? (Examples include: Great Lakes HIE (GLHIE), Ingenium, Jackson Community Medical Record (JCMR), Michigan Health Connect (MHC), Southeast Michigan HIE (SEMHIE), and Upper Peninsula HIE (UPHIE).) If not, have you investigated current HIEQO options? Have you also assessed whether the available options will meet your HIEQO needs? Overall IT capabilities Do any of your physicians participate in meaningful use? If yes, how many? How do the practice units in your PO report immunization data to MCIR? What EMR(s) are used by the practice units in your organization (Examples include Epic, Allscripts, eClinicalWorks, and NextGen.) Do the practice units in your PO utilize the full capabilities of their chosen EMR, or do they take a modular approach using only specific components? (Component examples include DrFirst and Wellcentive.) Do the EMRs used by your practice units send or receive clinical data from other sources? If yes, what type of data is sent or received? (Examples include lab values, medications, allergies, hospital results, and diagnosis codes.) Does your PO have a central clinical registry or data repository? If yes, what is it? Is the central registry used by all practice units? Does the central registry have the ability to accept CCDs (continuity of care documents)? Does your PO have the ability to share clinical information from the central registry or repository with individual practice units? Does the central registry send or receive data directly from other sources, such as lab and pharmacy vendors? If yes, what data is exchanged? (Examples include lab values, prescriptions, and patient demographics.) Are you able to produce a monthly patient list for your practice units in a format that can be electronically transmitted into the statewide ADT notification service at MiHIN? Do any of the practice units in your organization use Direct1 messaging? Current or planned vendor interfaces Do you currently have interfaces in place at the PO level to share clinical data with payers or other providers? 1 If yes, which type of data is shared? (Examples include lab values, medications, and clinical quality measures such as HEDIS.) Are there additional interfaces you are considering for implementation in the next 12 months? If yes, which ones? Are there additional interfaces you are considering for implementation in the next 12-36 months? If yes, which ones? Do any of your practice units have vendor interfaces in place that are independent of the PO? If yes, how many? What is the highest data sharing priority for your PO at this time? (Examples include sending public health data to the State of Michigan, receiving lab data from hospitals and outside labs, receiving medication data from hospitals and pharmacies, receiving ADT information from hospitals.) What is the primary barrier you face when implementing data sharing capabilities? (Examples include high cost projections or limited funds, limited technical resources, limited technical capabilities of vendor.) In total, approximately how much were the initial connection fees for all interfaces currently in use? Approximately how much does your PO spend annually on interface fees? Direct is a national encryption standard for securely exchanging clinical healthcare data via the Internet. Direct messaging services are provided by a Health Information Service Providers or HISP.
