HITECH – 3 Areas of Focus

Utilization of EHRs for meaningful use to achieve 5 health care goals:Improve quality, safety, and efficiency of
care while reducing disparitiesEngage patients and families in their carePromote public and population health &
improve outcomesImprove care coordinationPromote the privacy and security of EHRs
Why is This Important?
8© Seton Healthcare Family
Meaningful Use is defined by the use of certified EHR technology in a meaningful manner (for example electronic prescribing); ensuring that the certified EHR technology is connected in a manner that provides for the electronic exchange of health information to improve the quality of care; and that in using certified EHR technology the provider must submit to the Secretary of Health & Human Services (HHS) information on quality of care and other measures.

Stage 1
• 5 Domains:• D1: Improve Quality, Safety, Efficiency• D2: Engage Patients and Families• D3: Improve Care Coordination• D4: Improve Public and Population Health• D5: Ensure Privacy and Security for Personal Health Information
Stage 2
• Stage 1 + Stage 2• Objective is to increase health information exchange between
providers and promote patient engagement by giving patients secure online access to their health information.
Stage 3
• From lessons learned (Final Rule is not out)• Simplify and reduce reporting• Promote innovative approach, reward good behavior• Consolidate
Stages of Meaningful Use

http://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/national-learning-consortiumhttp://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/step-5-achieve-meaningful-use-stage-1
ARRA Meaningful Use TimelineEH: Eligible Hospital – Follow Federal Fiscal Year (October – September)
EP: Eligible Professional –Follow Calendar Year (January – December)
12
Incentive PaymentsPayment years under the EHR Incentive Programs
follow the federal fiscal year (Oct – Sept)Hospitals can begin receiving payments in any year
from FFY 2011 to FFY 2015Incentive payments decrease for hospitals that start
receiving payments in 2014 and laterHospitals that are not meaningful users of certified
EHR technology will be subject to payment adjustments beginning in FFY 2015
Product of 3 factors with complex formulas:1. An Initial Amount 2. The Medicare Share 3. A Transition Factor applicable to the payment year
http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/Downloads/MLN_TipSheet_MedicareHospitals.pdf
13
Adjustments (aka Penalties) Adjustments will be applied:
At the start of the 2015 fiscal year (FY) for eligible hospitals and CAHs (October 1, 2014)
At the start of the calendar year (CY) for EPs (January 1, 2015)
EPs, eligible hospitals, and CAHs must continue to demonstrate meaningful use every year to avoid payment adjustments in subsequent years.
https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/Downloads/How_Payment_Adj_Affect_ProvidersTipsheet.pdf
14
How are Adjustments Applied? For Eligible Hospitals
Applied to the % increase to the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) payment rate
Hospitals receive a reduced update to the IPPS standardized amount Payment adjustments are cumulative for every consecutive year the
hospital is not a meaningful user For CAHs
Applied to the Medicare reimbursement for inpatient services during the cost reporting period in which they failed to demonstrate meaningful use
For a cost reporting period that begins in FY 2015, a CAH reimbursement would be reduced from 101 percent of its reasonable costs to 100.66 percent
To Avoid Adjustments Eligible Hospitals must:
Demonstrate meaningful use prior to the 2015 calendar/fiscal payment adjustment year (and every year after)
2013 participation will avoid the 2015 adjustment for those that participate in 2013 2014 participation will avoid the 2015 adjustment for those that begin participation
in 2014 CAHs must:
Demonstrate meaningful use during the same FY the payment adjustments take place to avoid the adjustments (starting in 2015, and beyond)

In August 2014, CMS released a final rule that grants flexibility to providers who are unable to fully implement 2014 Edition CEHRT for an EHR reporting period in 2014 due to delays in 2014 Edition CEHRT availabilityProviders scheduled to demonstrate Stage 2 of meaningful use for an EHR reporting period in 2014 that have not fully implemented 2014 Edition CEHRT can:
Demonstrate 2013 Stage 1 objectives and 2013 CQMs with 2011 Edition CEHRT or a combination of 2011 and 2014 Edition CEHRT
