Knowledge Management Challenges in the Healthcare Delivery Market Tonya Hongsermeier, MD, MBA Corporate Manager, Clinical Decision Support and Knowledge Management, Clinical Informatics Research & Development Partners HeatlhCare System, Inc. Agenda About Partners Healthcare Knowledge Management and Informatics Knowledge Knowledge Knowledge Application Discovery Asset Management Challenges in Healthcare Delivery Weak Organizational Alignment Weak Investment in Asset Management Implications for Clinical R&D Implications for Personalized Medicine Partners HealthCare Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and several other hospitals in the network Licensed Beds 3196 Births 18,478 Admissions 134,991 Patient Days 871,321 Average LOS 5.31 Total Outpatient Visits 2,324,073 Partners Information Systems Much published on innovative use of informatics in healthcare (Bates, Teich, Glaser, Kuperman, Barnett, Chueh, and many others) 800 applications 520 active projects 680 employees based in 19 locations FY02 operating budget of $92.3M FY02 capital budget of $47M These are relatively generous numbers as a percentage of operating expenses Some Current Clinical Knowledge Assets Developed at Partners Medication Data Dictionary and DDIs Inpatient alerts and interactive order rules Gerios and Nephros for proactive filtering of drug doses for elderly and/or renal insufficient Radiology Ordering decision support Preventive health reminders Outpatient lab result decision support Outpatient documentation templates Piloting outpatient drug-lab, drug-disease interactive reminders Current State Challenges Typical of Many Academic Healthcare Delivery Organizations 7 homegrown and 2 commercial CPOE systems, plan to evolve to “next generation CPOE” in next 5 years Limited implementation of structured (encoded) clinical documentation Proprietary approaches to knowledge encoding Not re-usable or sharable Much updating/maintenance is bottlenecked by resource constraints Research datawarehouse in place, but struggle to expand in face of fragmented clinical systems environment Typical Committee and Project Structures Related to Medication Safety Illustrate Organizational

to numerous drug information databases Planned drug-information knowledge linking via info button in electronic medication administration record in FY 04 SURVEILLANCE AND MONITORING Drug-induced abnormal lab result notification of physician Drug-induced abnormal lab result notification of pharmacist Renal function decline in patient on renally excreted drug notification of physician and pharmacist INTERACTIVE DECISION SUPPORT FOR PHYSICIAN AND PHARMACIST: Drug-allergy checking Drug-drug interaction checking Drug-food interaction checking Drug-herb interaction checking Drug-disease interaction checking INTERACTIVE DECISION SUPPORT FOR PHYSICIAN ORDER ENTRY ONLY: Drug-lab interaction checking Consequent order recommendations Relevant lab display Indication-required orders Height, weight, allergy update required notification Dose calculation tools Intravenous to oral conversion recommendation on renewal of intravenous order when patient receiving other oral medications Formulary substitution alerts Antibiotic restriction alerts PROACTIVE DECISION SUPPORT Gerios for elderly patient medication dosing Nephros for dosing in renal insufficiency Preventive health reminders Problem-linked order sets Laboratory Notification with consequent order recommendations Alternate Procedures, Redirects, DrugAllergy, Drug-Drug, Drug-Lab etc. Gerios: Dose-filters for age Nephros: Dose-filters for renal function Inappropriately sedated elderly inpatients on average incur $5600 excess costs over expected for severity of illness Preventive Reminders Problem-level anticipatory decision support Today, order sets and documentation templates are static which means that clinician must change them to personalize them to patient We plan to use inferencing to dynamically generate problem-driven order sets and documentation templates that account for multiple co-morbidities Must be able to incorporate future onslaught of gene diagnostic and prognostic data Knowledge Application must anticipate these dimensions of the clinical encounter Clinical Standardization Standards of Practice, Role/Venue Requirements Billing/Regulatory Requirements Improvisation User Personalization Patient Preferences End-user workflow preferences Learning and User-defined Poly-hierarchical inferencing with actionable advice – surveillance, This is an example from clinical

with Clinician Dashboards Early identification of patients at risk for case management Longer term knowledge discovery goals to use performance data to enhance knowledge repository Need to evolve towards non-human dependent modes of knowledge acquisition Knowledge Asset Management Infrastructure: Analysis of clinical performance data to understand where knowledge deficits are to support performance goals Authoring and support of virtual, asynchronous collaborative authoring by knowledge editors and leaders of research, safety and quality improvement initiatives (reference knowledge specs for encoding Knowledge acquisition from commercial/etc knowledge bases Validation and audit trail maintenance (metaknowledge) Inventory (knowledge librarian) Publishing and Sharing Reference information and knowledge model What are the challenges today: Healthcare delivery organizations purchase systems but don’t invest in knowledge asset management, they install plumbing Vendors sell knowledge editors, not knowledge management support infrastructure There is no repository of “best clinical IT practices” at a national level, few among the vendors No knowledge encoding and representation standards to facilitate knowledge sharing Partners-Wide Knowledge Management Model KNOWLEDGE ASSET MANAGEMENT Signature Initiatives and Sub-Committees set Enterprise-wide Strategy,
