A Bit of History …
On the eve of the Presidential Election
President Bush’s goal in January 2004
“… an Electronic Health Record for every American by the year
2012. By computerizing health records, we can avoid dangerous
medical mistakes, reduce costs, and improve care.”
- State of the Union address, January 20, 2004
Executive order established the Office of the National Coordinator for
Health IT (ONCHIT) as part of the Dept of Health & Human Services
– Dr. David Brailer appointed the first National Coordinator for Health IT
– Followed by Dr. Rob Kolodner
President Barack Obama’s goal in January 2009
“To lower health care cost, cut medical errors, and improve care,
we’ll computerize the nation’s health records in five years, saving
billions of dollars in health care costs and countless lives.”
- Speech at George Mason University, January 12, 2009
February 17, 2009 – HITECH Act (part of ARRA) is signed into law

The Beacon Community Program:
Where HITECH Comes to Life
17 diverse communities, each funded over 3 yrs to:
Build and strengthen health IT infrastructure and exchange capabilities
-
positioning each community to pursue a new level of sustainable health care
quality and efficiency over the coming years.
Improve cost, quality, and population health - translating investments in
health IT in the short run to measureable improvements in the 3-part aim.
Test innovative approaches to performance measurement, technology
integration, and care delivery - accelerating evidence generation for new
approaches.

TODAY - Key Priorities:
Keeping the Patient at the center of all we do
• Patient-Centric health care and health record by
– Laying the groundwork for interoperability with
standards, testing & certification
– Facilitating broad implementation of health
information exchange
• Patient Engagement by enabling patient
– Access
– Action
– Attitude
25
Focus on INTEROPERABILITY in the
Stage 2 Meaningful Use Criteria
• E-prescribing (ambulatory and inpatient discharge)
• Transition of Care summary exchange:
• Create & transmit from EHR
• Receive & incorporate into EHR
• Lab tests & results from inpatient to ambulatory
• Public health reporting – transmission to:
• Immunization Registries
• Public Health Agencies for syndromic surveillance
• Public health Agencies for reportable lab results
• Cancer Registries
• Patient ability to View, Download and Transmit their
health data to a 3rd Party
• Create an export summary of patient data, in order to
enable data portability
26
Focus on PATIENT ENGAGEMENT in the
Stage 2 Meaningful Use Criteria
• Reminders for preventive/follow-up care
provided
• Educational resources identified and provided
• Online access to personal health information
(portal, PHR)
• Visit Summaries provided
• Patients can send secure messages to their
provider
• Patients can View, Download and Transmit to 3rd
Party
27
Back in the Day…
“The
obedience of a
patient to the
prescriptions of his
physician should be
prompt and implicit.
[The patient] should
never permit his own
crude opinions as to
their fitness to
influence his
attention to them.”
- AMA’s Code of
Medical Ethics (1847)
28
And Now…
“Patients share the
responsibility for their own
health care….”
- AMA’s Code of Medical Ethics
(current)
“Patients can help. We can be a
second set of eyes on our medical
records. I corrected the mistakes
in my health record, but many
patients don't understand how
important it will be to have
correct medical information, until
the crisis hits. Better to clean it up
now, not when there’s time
pressure.”
– Dave deBronkart (ePatient Dave)

ONC’s Consumer Engagement Strategy:
The Three A’s
Access
Attitudes
Support a shift in attitudes and
expectations regarding consumer
(and provider) roles.
Give consumers electronic
access to their health
information.
Action
Action
Catalyze development of tools and
services that help consumers (and
providers) take action using their
health information.
ACCESS: Consumer eHealth Pledge Program
Over 400 organizations have Pledged to provide access to personal
health information for 1/3 of Americans…

Taking the Blue Button nation-wide
www.healthit.gov/pledge
• Get more organizations to offer
Blue Button
• Make “Blue Button” a household
name = “electronic access to my
health data”
• Advance technical capabilities =
“set it and forget it”
• One of 5 game-changing projects
involving the 2012 Presidential
Innovation Fellows
32
ACTION: Making it easier for Patients
to use Health IT
• Surgeon General’s Healthy Apps Challenge

• PHR Model Privacy

33
ACTION
• Blue Button Mash-Up Challenge – develop an app that
mashes up PHR data with other health-related data
sets
• Leon Rodriguez, Director-Office of Civil Rights:
clarification of the patient’s right to access their own
health information under HIPAA (videos, pamphlets,
answers to questions, and other guidance)

HIT as the means, not the end
Dr. David Blumenthal, previous National
Coordinator of HIT, emphasizes
“HIT is the means, but not the end. Getting
an EHR up and running in health care is not
the main objective behind the incentives
provided by the federal government under
ARRA. Improving health is. Promoting
health care reform is.”
- At the National HIPAA Summit
in Washington, D.C.

1. The digital infrastructure – Improve the capacity to capture clinical,
delivery process, and financial data for better care, system improvement,
and creating new knowledge.
2. The data utility – Streamline and revise research regulations to improve
care, promote the capture of clinical data, and generate knowledge.

Health IT:
Helping to Drive the 3-Part Aim
Better healthcare
Improving patients’ experience of care within the Institute of
Medicine’s 6 domains of quality: Safety, Effectiveness, PatientCenteredness, Timeliness, Efficiency, and Equity.
Better health
Keeping patients well so they can do what they want to do.
Increasing the overall health of populations: address behavioral
risk factors; focus on preventive care.
Reduced costs
Lowering the total cost of care while improving quality, resulting
in reduced monthly expenditures for Medicare, Medicaid, and
CHIP beneficiaries.
