 Event  -­‐  Spokane  

October  5  –  6,  2010  
The  Davenport  Hotel    

ABOUT  THIS  EVENT:  

The  timeframe  to  qualify  for  Meaningful  Use  incentives  is  rapidly  approaching.    Many  of  the  
INHS  facilities  in  and  around  Spokane,  WA  are  gearing  up  to  meet  the  criteria  during  the  first  
year  of  the  program.    At  this  MUSE  event,  we  would  like  to  share  some  of  the  lessons  learned  
during  our  various  Meditech  implementations  that  have  allowed  our  hospitals  to  achieve  HIMSS  
stage  6  designation  (both  a  large  Urban  hospital  and  also  2  Critical  Access  facilities  which  were  
just  the  3rd  and  4th  CAH  within  the  nation  to  achieve  HIMSS  Stage  6  status),  prepare  for  first  
year  Meaningful  Use  qualification,  be  part  of  an  ONC  Beacon  Community  and  more.    We  have  
also  invited  some  of  our  strategic  partners  to  come  and  share  some  perspective  along  with  
state  and  federal  regulatory  speakers.      
 
ABOUT  INHS:  
INHS,  a  non-­‐profit  corporation  based  in  Spokane,  Washington,  provides  the  backbone  for  
current  and  future  innovative  technologies  in  health  information  exchange.  INHS  connects  38  
hospitals  allowing  physicians  and  providers  to  securely  access  patient  information  utilizing  
wired  and  wireless  technologies.  INHS’  networked-­‐hospitals  are  continually  ranked  by  Hospitals  
&  Health  Networks  magazine  as  the  “100  Most  Wired”  in  the  country.  The  INHS  network  
includes  more  than  4,000  physicians,  450  clinics  and  physician  offices  and  3.5  million  electronic  
medical  records.    
 
Mindful  that  immediate  access  to  a  patient’s  medical  record  is  an  essential  component  of  high  
quality  care,  Information  Resource  Management  (IRM)  manages  one  of  the  nation’s  most  
advanced  health  information  technology  networks.  An  informatics  solutions  service  provider,  
IRM  provides  high-­‐quality  consulting,  predictable  implementation,  management  and  
outsourcing  services  to  meet  the  technology  and  patient  safety  demands  of  the  health  care  
industry.  With  IRM,  thousands  of  health  care  professionals  in  hospitals,  clinics  and  physician  
offices  can  access  their  patients’  health  records  securely  and  quickly.  Such  integration  
ultimately  lowers  costs  and  improves  patient  care.

TRACK  ONE  –  ADVANCED  CLINICALS  
 
1:40  PM  –  2:30  PM   EDM  –  Now  that  We  Have  to  Include  ED  Patients….  
EDM  is  essential  in  your  Meditech  Meaningful  Use  strategy  since  many  of  the  required  
objectives  take  place  within  this  module  including  CPOE,  Med  ordering,  EMAR  and  treatment  
indicators.    INHS  EDM  analysts  have  been  implementing  this  powerful  module  in  both  large  and  
small  facilities  for  several  years  and  have  been  able  to  develop  a  strategy  to  increase  physician  
adoption,  streamline  workflow  and  maximize  efficiencies.    Join  us  as  we  share  what  we  have  
learned  through  the  years  and  the  discoveries  we  are  currently  making  on  how  to  use  this  
module  to  achieve  Meaningful  Use.  
 
 
2:40  PM  –  3:30  PM     AOM/RXM  –  An  Essential  Component  for  Meeting  Meaningful  Use  
Subject  matter  experts  from  INHS  share  implementation  strategies  for  AOM/RXM.    As  we  
completed  our  Meaningful  Use  Gap  Analysis,  we  found  AOM/RXM  to  be  a  vital  part  of  our  MU  
Compliance  strategy.    Information  in  this  session  will  focus  on  design  models  including  a  phased  
roll  out  plan  with  the  second  phase  being  a  critical  component  for  E-­‐Prescribing.    Analysts  will  
discuss  experiences  related  to  our  multi-­‐facility  and  multi-­‐pharmacy  Meditech  environment  
including  clinician  adoption  tips,  reporting  options  and  compliance  measurement  options.  
 
 
3:40  PM  –  4:30  PM     Nursing  Documentation  –  Crucial  Nursing  Changes  for  Meaningful  Use  
Through  implementation  of  nursing  orders  and  templates,  coded  and  structured  query  design,  
appropriate  attributes  and  standardization,  this  module  is  foundational  to  a  successful  CPOE  
implementation.    From  vital  signs  to  smoking  queries  to  decision  support,  Nursing  
Documentation  set  up  and  process  re-­‐design  is  also  at  the  heart  of  many  of  the  meaningful  use  
objective  requirements.    In  order  to  continue  to  comply  with  required  measurements,  it  is  
essential  to  design  processes  in  a  way  that  will  fit  this  information  capture  into  the  workflow  
seamlessly.    After  working  with  several  facilities,  we  have  some  experience  to  share  
surrounding  this  important  topic.      
 
 
TRACK  TWO  –  TECHNOLOGY  AND  SUPPORT  
 
1:40  PM  –  2:30  PM   Cloud  Computing  
We  have  all  heard  this  term  many  times  recently  but  what  does  it  mean  for  healthcare?  
 
2:40  PM  –  3:30  PM   Improving  Clinician  Mobility  and  Productivity  
This  session  will  provide  information  about  leveraging  technology  to  deliver  data  anywhere,  
anytime,  to  any  device.

3:40  PM  –  4:30  PM   Help  Desk  –  Achieving  Customer  Satisfaction  
End  User  Confidence  is  difficult  to  win,  very  easy  to  lose,  and  critical  in  any  effort  to  achieve  
customer  satisfaction.    The  primary  building  blocks  of  customer  service  excellence  must  be  met  
to  win  the  hearts  and  minds  of  your  customers:  
o Confidence  that  those  calls  or  emails  will  be  answered  quickly  
o Confidence  that  submitting  a  request  for  assistance  will  be  relatively  painless  and  
effective  
o Confidence  that  the  resolution  will  be  timely  and  complete  
This  session  will  describe  how  administrators  can  elevate  the  mindset  of  their  entire  end  user  
population  through  the  efforts  of  an  effective  and  consistent  Help  Desk  
 
 
 
TRACK  THREE  –  ADMINISTRATIVE  SESSIONS  
 
1:40  PM  –  2:30  PM   Meaningful  Use  –  Understanding  the  Final  Rules  
We  now  have  final  rules  for  Meaningful  Use;  Standards,  Implementation  Specifications,  and  
Certification  Criteria;  and  the  ONC  Temporary  Certification  Program.    In  this  session,  receive  
handouts  that  cover  the  basics,  what  changed  between  the  interim  and  final  rules  and  help  to  
put  all  three  of  these  rules  together.      
 
 
2:40  PM  –  3:30  PM   Meaningful  Use  Gap  Analysis  and  Strategic  Planning  
Are  you  prepared  to  evaluate  your  system,  process,  network,  hardware,  resources  and  more  in  
order  to  meet  meaningful  use  the  first  year?    We  have  developed  a  strategy  that  allows  us  to  
prepare  reports,  process  and  analysis  once  and  then  apply  it  to  our  various  hospitals.    Join  us  
for  an  important  discussion  on  what  we  have  learned  about  evaluating  our  system  and  then  
putting  this  analysis  into  action  with  strategic  planning.  
 
 
3:40  PM  –  4:30  PM   Meaningful  Use  Dashboards  
Meeting  meaningful  use  is  a  commitment  that  spans  the  entire  foreseeable  future!    Once  you  
meet  the  90  consecutive  days  the  first  year,  you  will  need  to  meet  every  day  thereafter.    Post  
discharge  reports  can  help  to  analyze  where  education  should  be  targeted  but  cannot  help  your  
compliance  numbers  stay  above  the  thresholds.    We  would  like  to  share  with  you  how  we  
propose  to  meet  this  challenge  going  forward.

TRACK  ONE  –  ADVANCED  CLINICAL  
 
2:10  PM  –  3:00  PM     Evidence  Based  Orders  
Use  of  Evidence  Based  Orders  can  certainly  affect  predictable  outcomes.    In  addition  to  
providing  positive  patient  results,  Stage  2  of  meaningful  use  is  likely  to  require  integration  of  
evidence  based  medicine  (EBM)  throughout  your  system.    In  this  session  we  will  explore  
Meditech  options  for  EBM.  
 
 
3:10  PM  –  4:00  PM     Inpatient  CPOE  –  How  Do  We  Get  There?  
At  INHS,  we  have  developed  a  recipe  for  success  that  includes  7  ingredients.    Each  ingredient  
must  be  measured  and  added  at  the  right  point  in  the  mixing  process.    If  the  recipe  is  followed  
carefully,  we  end  up  with  a  beautiful  feast  of  structured  templates,  clinical  decision  support,  
evidence  based  orders  and  a  high  percentage  of  physicians  appropriately  using  the  system.    
Today,  we  would  like  to  share  this  recipe  with  you.  
 
 
 
TRACK  TWO  –  TECHNOLOGY  AND  SUPPORT  
 
2:10  PM  –  3:00  PM     Pharmacist  Involvement  While  Moving  Toward  Meaningful  Use  
• K.  Douglas  Crafton,  RPh  –  President/CEO  Medication  Review,  Inc.  
Of  the  23  bullet  points  of  “Meaningful  Use,”  roughly  25%  of  the  requirements  need  pharmacy  
input.  Discussion  points  include  the  significant  role  of  pharmacy  in  achievement  of  those  goals.  
This  presentation  will  cover  pharmacy  involvement  and  interchange  between  formulary  
management,  physician/pharmacy  order  strings/sets  for  CPOE,  pharmacist  order  verification,  
bedside  medication  verification,  and  eMAR.  Alternatives  for  pharmacy  oversight  when  a  
pharmacist  is  not  present  on-­‐site  in  the  facility  will  also  be  discussed.  
 
 
3:10  PM  –  4:00  PM     Paperless  Hospital,  Not  Just  the  EMR  Anymore  –  Achieving    
HIMSS  level  6  and  Beyond  
Even  with  CPOE,  hospitals  are  finding  that  the  paper  is  still  in  abundance.  How  do  you  cope  with  
patients  arriving  with  documents  that  are  needed  for  patient  care?  Physicians  sending  orders  
who  are  not  on  you  Health  Information  System?  In  this  session,  we  will  be  discussing  the  
Electronic  Medical  Record,  the  Electronic  Legal  Record,  What  to  Collect,  When  to  Collect  it  and  
how  you  can  save  Time  and  significant  $$  using  workflow  and  ECM,  Enterprise  Content  
Management.
