    101 Vein to Vein Tracking a Marriage Made in MEDITECHPresenters: Dorothy Kasibante, Kevin Macaulay, and Wilhelm PetterssonOrganization: HCA International, London, UK

    Abstract: In November 2005, United Kingdom Blood Safety & Quality Regulation (StatutoryInstrument 2005 Number 50) was inducted into UK law. A major component of the law was therequirement for full traceability of blood products from donor to administration to the patient andretention of that record for thirty years.

    The Challenge for HCA International in London with six hospitals, a total of 749 beds and over3,000 staff, was to implement a blood issue to patient' tracking system which met legislativerequirements, including a core standard to maintain the 'cold chain' that is, to ensure that bloodproducts were stored optimally and that they were transported and transfused at the correct

    temperature.

    Prior to commencement of this project, the system for blood product tracking and recording of thetransfusion was paper-based complicated by the fact that medical couriers who transportedblood products from the central laboratory to the hospital issue fridges were not employees ofHCA. In addition, audits of paperwork revealed that despite training the paper data was oftenincomplete or illegible and not of the standard where evidence of regulatory compliance could beproduced.

    To enable this project to come to fruition Information Technology & Services (IT&S) along withclinical staff worked together to source a third party system to electronically track blood productsbetween locations (stock and issues fridges and eventually to the point of transfusion) and toensure that they were not out of cold storage for too long, while, utilisation of the NMI module

    would bind MEDITECH and Blood Tracking together.

    Other pre-requisites for the success of this project were the implementation of staff bar-coded IDbadges, patient bar-coded wristbands and bar-coding of patient prescription charts, wirelessnetwork and mobile wireless devices with bar-code readers.

    The partial implementation of BMV (Beside Medication Verification module), T.A.R (TransfusionAdministration Routine) within NUR 5.6 magic platform, with its greater communication with BBKmodule, would streamline work process for nursing staff and enhance patient safety.

    This presentation will show how HCA International has achieved this.

    Dorothy Kasibante has been with HCA International since 2006 as a Transfusion Practitioner.

    Prior to this Dorothy worked as Transfusion Practitioner in Ashford & St Peters Hospital andcomes from a Biomedical Scientist Background practiced at Texas Children's Hospital

    Kevin Macaulay has been an Application Team Lead at HCA International for the past five yearsworking with clinical applications. Kevin comes from a Cardiothoracic ICU Nursing background.

    103 A Provincial Support Model Successes & ChallengesPresenter: Krista S. LayboltOrganization: Health Information Technology Services - Nova Scotia, Halifax, Nova Scotia

    Abstract: In 2001, the Province of Nova Scotia embarked on the Nova Scotia HospitalInformation System (NShIS) project aimed at providing an integrated standards-based HospitalInformation System in 8 of 9 district health authorities throughout Nova Scotia. NShISimplemented MEDITECH C/S applications in 34 sites across the province with the first going live

    in February 2003 and the final live in March 2006.

    As NShIS sites went live, operational support was transitioned from a provincial implementationteam to a group of provincial service support staff that later became Health InformationTechnology Services - Nova Scotia (HITS-NS). HITS-NS is a service delivery organization thatprovides operational support for health IT solution implemented province wide. HITS-NS providesa full range of support services including: service desk, system infrastructure, technical andapplication support, user access, decision support and privacy.

    111 PCS: Six Years Later Advancing Practice and TechnologyPresenter: Laura Jean SartyOrganization: Health Information Technology Services - Nova Scotia, Halifax, Nova Scotia

    Abstract: Six years ago as part of a provincial initiative, Nova Scotia implemented MEDITECHsPatient Care System (PCS). This was intended to be a provincial implementation involving 34sites. Implementations were stopped after 12 sites went Live.

    Initially, standards teams were developed to provide guidance in the design of clinical

    documentation across 34 sites. The large scale Provincial implementation necessitated supportand adoption of processes that would support all sites. This proved challenging. Duringimplementation, to encourage and expedite PCS adoption by nursing staff, an interface betweenPCS and the physiologic monitors was implemented.

    Six years have passed, the system has undergone upgrades and practice guidelines havechanged. The existing clinical and technical set up will not support future roll out of PCS acrossthree data bases. These changes have necessitated upgrading the design. This will include areview our current technical architecture as it relates to physiological monitor interface set up, the

    116 The Functions of a Project Management OfficePresenter: R. Sheldon TyndallOrganization: Haywood Regional Medical Center, Clyde, North Carolina

    Abstract: Project Management Offices (PMOs) became popular in the mid to late 1990's and stillhave a precarious existence with frequent restructuring. Most people have heard of a PMO, butfew understand the true value and functionality of this department, and are still unsure whether aPMO is legitimate or best practice. A PMO is rather a complex organizational entity; an adequatedescription requires that several different characteristics be examined including:

    Value Organizational Context Form and Structure

    Roles & Functions

    By having a better understanding as to what, if any, consensus there is in the businesscommunity, it will allow you to determine whether a PMO has a role to play in your institution.

    118 Change Management Made Easy & AuditablePresenter: Jim JohnstonOrganization: St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, Lewiston, Idaho

    Abstract: Auditors recently rated our Access Control system Best in Class, and our auditablechange-management system is being duplicated within our organization. How did we achieve

    these milestones? Quite simply! More than ten years ago we licensed a MAGIC-based task-tracking system to help make sense of and bring order to the critical, ongoing challenge ofmanaging changes and requests. Over the years attempts were made to replace this system withfancier, more graphically-driven applications that looked nice but fell short of establishing acomprehensive yet simple process. In 2007, when pressed to meet both IT General Controls andinternal audit requirements, we realized the answer to our problem could be found in our originalMAGIC-based tracking system.

    In our presentation, we will share how, with some creativity, a little bit of time, and minimal priorreport writer experience, we transformed our simple MAGIC-based task-tracking system into anexemplary auditable change management and user access provisioning system. Sometimessimple is better, even for solving large complex problems.

    122 MEDITECH Updates Is Your Backbone Ready?Presenter: David TilleyOrganization: Citizens Memorial Healthcare, Bolivar, Missouri

    Abstract: As you have probably already heard, 5.6 is not your average update. At CitizensMemorial Healthcare (CMH), we approached our 5.6 update with a lot of caution and carefulpreparation. Prior to our 5.6 implementation, we thoroughly accessed our network and devices inorder attempt to counteract the slowness complaints expressed by other sites. As a result, CMHended up vitalizing and doing a complete server refresh. The preparations didnt stop therebecause we also looked closely at our client devices and made replacements and changesnecessary at the local level. This presentation will review CMHs 5.6 network and clientpreparation plan that laid the foundation for a successful update to MEDITECH Client/Server 5.6.We will also review update survey responses from our users regarding the update, which as we

    all know is the true measure of whether or not an update is a success!

    125 Achieving "Meaningful Use" through Physician Office IntegrationPresenter: Erica HoglenOrganization: Randolph Hospital, Asheboro, North Carolina

    Abstract: The purpose of this presentation is to discuss deployment of electronic transmission ofresult data to physician office electronic medical records (EMRs). Reports available for electronictransmission include laboratory results including Microbiology, and Pathology, as well asdictated reports such as History & Physical, Consult, ED Summary and Discharge Summary.Seamless transmission and flow of results to physician EMR queues improves efficiency andassures that data is available to the physician throughout the continuum of care. As theHealthcare community progresses into new levels of technology, our historic ways of fax andcourier communication are becoming obsolete. Obstacles and lessons learned will be shared.

    Additionally, this presentation will briefly discuss this project in relation to attaining the everelusive Meaningful Use and interoperability as defined in the HITECH Act. Physician satisfactionwas also a key driving force in this project. Improvement in physician satisfaction and costsavings for physician practices will also be addressed.

    Abstract: Citizens Memorial Hospital is the third hospital in the nation to offer a GoogleHealthconnection to patients. The integration is not only "cool" (to quote almost every patient who has

    signed up), but also meets the interoperability criteria for both Stage 7 and for meaningful use asit is defined in the proposed rule published in January.

    Patients can sign up for a personal health record account at GoogleHealth and import their labresults, medications, immunizations, diagnoses, allergies and procedures from the CMH EMRsystem. This information can be combined on GoogleHealth with information from pharmacies,insurers and other health care providers. Patients can even add information, such as over thecounter medications and lab results from health fairs.

    Upon admission to the hospital, CMH can pull in the information from the GoogleHealth user'saccount and use it to update the patient's information in Meditech.

    Denni will discuss how CMH accomplished the integration and the response from the media andpatients to the new service.

    131 From Here to Eternity Achieving the Seemingly Impossible Move to6.0Presenter: Edward D. RicksOrganization: Beaufort Memorial Hospital, Beaufort, South Carolina

    Abstract: Many MEDITECH clients are eager to upgrade to the enhanced 6.0 platform, but theyare unsure of how to support the data migration and infrastructure needs from both a financialand operational standpoint. It is important for the dialogue to remain open between the early 6.0adopters and the MEDITECH community. As a hospital that has implemented the fullMEDITECH Magic Suite and will be live on 6.0 in a few months, there is much to share.

    The presentation will outline how to implement 6.0 to address the need for meaningfultechnologies, and more important, how to utilize what is already available in MEDITECH and

    implement technologies that provide additional benefits. Additionally, the presentation willprovide insight on how to leverage other IT systems, such as an EDIS, to meet the financialdemands of a 6.0 migration.

    This presentation will serve as a roadmap to implementing 6.0 and include tactics and strategiesfor:

    Setting realistic expectations to align with the organizations goals; Creating an understanding of how technology can create efficiencies in the care giving

    process, and thus changing clinical culture in regards to technology adoption;

    132 Celebrating THE TRANSFORMERS Moving from Paper to ComputerDocumentationPresenter: Linda SchaderOrganization: Samaritan Health Services, Corvallis, Oregon

    Abstract: This presentation is intended to celebrate the hard work that has been done by all ofyou:

    Those of you who are actively "transforming" the healthcare community from one ofpaper to computer.

    Those of you who are working on "transforming" a clinical staff member from one whonever used a computer to a proficient user of software.

    Those of you who spent time "transforming" current workflow and adapting it to a smooth-flowing process for those who never thought it could happen.

    Those of you who standardize and "transform" your paperwork, rebuilding it to optimizethe ability to skip fields and input data previously documented.

    Those of you who "transform" the minds of the nay-sayers to champions.Experiencing the "war" that develops when the decision is made to move from paper to on-linedocumentation can bring out the best (Autobots) and the worst (Decepticons) of people andinstitutions. Learn to recognize which ones you are adding to your implementation team andwhich ones you are needing to meet head on.

    Once upon a time, everything was bliss on the planet of Paperton. Everyone knew where their

    documentation lived: in the drawers and slots at the nurse's station. They all knew how to getmore paperwork: print, print, print ... sometimes calling THE DOCUMENT CENTER to print"tons" of paper for each department. One day everyone on the planet Paperton was transportedto a new planet Cybertron ... (to be continued)

    133 The Power of the PortalPresenter: Karrie IngramOrganization: Citizens Memorial Healthcare, Bolivar, Missouri

    Abstract: Clinic patients at Citizens Memorial Healthcare (CMH) have a great new tool that

    empowers them to participate in their healthcare with the click of a mouse! CMH is the beta forthe Patient Portal which provides patients with an intuitive, secure, web-based method of accessto portions of their medical records through our web site. The portal design accommodatesaccess to health record information, a mechanism for secure communications between patientsand their care providers, and options for making payments with online bill pay features.

    This presentation will include a demo of the live portal in action, as well as highlights our journeyfrom kick-off to the successful completion of a Patient Portal Expansion project to effectivelymarket this great tool to our patient population. Considerations for support and training of patientportal patients will be a key component of this presentation.

    Karrie Ingram brought several years of Project Management experience with her when joiningCMH in 2002 to head up the implementation of the EHR for CMHs long term care facilities. Whilein this role CMH became one of the first LTC's to implement bedside medication verification. Shetransitioned to begin supporting the CMHs 20+ clinics in 2008 and has taken the lead on newprojects for the Patient Portal, e-Prescribing and Clinic Scanning.

    134 Surviving a Clinical Portal and E-sign ImplementationPresenter: Rodney Light, MD - Chief Medical OfficerOrganization: Tomball Regional Medical Center

    Abstract: The Electronic Medical Record (EMR) strategy at Tomball Regional Medical Center(TRMC) began in 2005. A clinician portal was one of the strategic priorities. Tomball envisioned

    using standard industry technology like XML, Web Services, and HL7 enterprise portal platformgiving the hospital a secure way to integrate and aggregate data from disparate systems,providing a foundation for real-time data display and easy access by each of our corestakeholders: providers, office staff, and employees.

    The project began first quarter of 2007. A third party vendor was consulted in the search of asolution to make sure that what we have in the pool is the best of breed. The search returnedtwelve Requests for Proposal which was subsequently narrowed down to five, then two. Thesolution that got the highest rating was overwhelmingly favored by over fifty (50) physicians whoparticipated in the product evaluation.

    The criteria to which providers favored the most included: ease of use, customizability,accessibility, E-sign, capability to complete chart deficiencies on line, and integration giving the

    user the ability to view of any form of data whether electronic or paper, in one place resulting in aunified record.

    While we had a robust technological solution and a reliable partner with the vendor, we realizedthat the success of implementation was predicated on the integration of new technology with ourcurrent processes. One of the many challenges we faced was the adoption of our providers whowere truly not technologically ready to advance and change workflow processes ingrained in theirpractice for many years and the magnitude of the project itself. To overcome these challenges aconsultation was received to facilitate a modified Lean Value Stream Mapping session. The

    135 Mercy Medical Center: Successfully Deploying CPOE in theCommunity Hospital SettingPresenter: Kristi YamilkoskiOrganization: Mercy Medical Center, Cedar Rapids, Iowa

    Abstract: Ten years after the landmark report To Err is Human, the nations healthcare systemfinds itself at a crossroads. Despite clear evidence, the industry has failed to capitalize on thepromise of better outcomes and lower costs through automation. Numerous studies havereported opportunities to reduce errors by greater than 80% through Computerized PhysicianOrder Entry. Yet barely one-third of hospitals have purchased some form of CPOE, and even inthese rare cases, fewer than 10% of physicians actually make use of the system to enter their

    orders. The challenges are even greater in community hospitals not all physicians areemployed by the hospital; many have independent practices in the community; they often admitpatients to multiple hospitals; and they spend limited time at the hospital each day.

    Regardless of the reasons for the failure of CPOE, hospitals must now reconsider thisfunctionality as part of the Meaningful Use objectives, which requires 100% physician adoptionwithin three short years. New and unique approaches to physician order entry will be required toincrease physician adoption and help hospitals maximize their HITECH Stimulus incentives.

    Mercy Medical Center, a Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based, community hospital and big MEDITECHuser, with 10,500 admissions and 350 beds, was faced with these very challenges to deploying aCPOE solution. In this session, learn the roadblocks faced in establishing a successful CPOEsystem within the community hospital setting and the process of selecting and implementing a

    CPOE solution.

    This session will address: Best practices for deploying a CPOE solution in a MEDITECH community hospital setting Real-world benefits and examples of CPOE success The role of CPOE in achieving meaningful use and securing stimulus funds Leveraging CPOE to decrease medical errors Rolling out CPOE without interfering in how physicians practice medicine Using CPOE to ensure industry and hospital compliance

    136 A Fist Full of Documentation How to Engage our Provider in PatientDocumentationPresenters: Marcia Cheadle, Debra Jahn, and Jay NiehausOrganization: Inland Northwest Health Services, Spokane, Washington

    Abstract: How in the course of a busy daily hospital environment can we motivate health careproviders to leave their perceived comfort of paper documentation and to migrate willingly to an

    electronic format? Incentives like saving time, improving legibility and improved billing all help,ultimately the improvement of patient care that is the goal.

    Physicians of all disciplines have always used to a paper chart, and sometimes have difficultyembracing the vision of what an electronic format can do for them. While they claim that paperdocumentation allows speed, ease of use, and no down time, they do acknowledge things suchas legible writing, portability and completeness of the chart/medical records leave something tobe desired. Additionally, providers are busy, and have to make time in a busy schedule in orderto learn how to use this new tool.

    No change is fun, and the work during the implementation of the EPS/PWM and PCM tools mustbe done with the eye to enhancing the providers experience. Ensuring that doctors, ARNPs, andPAs feel that they are part of this change, not merely a result is key to the adoption of this tool.The portability of electronically documented notes, providing an anywhere, anytime access adds

    to the patient safety benefits. Clinical Review with its real time results and clean structured formatis both NOW and WOW! Adding the ability to concurrently place orders as you review thepatients data and document brings the provider a one stop solution.

    At Inland Northwest Health Services (INHS), we find that a close interaction and communicationwith the providers yield a very good adoption rate. How do we do it? Listening, developing andgetting feedback from the providers. The results at INHS speak for themselves: in the 18 monthssince we implemented our first facility, we now have 300 documenting providers at nine facilitiesin our database, sharing 50 diverse templates. Providers are generating close to 5,000 electronicdocuments per month using Daily Progress notes, H&Ps, Discharge Summaries, and Consultnotes. A week does not go by that we are getting a call from a new provider that either saw anote in the computer, or saw another provider using the system and wanted to try it also.
