A University of Michigan study finds that patients aged 9-18 were almost three times as likely to receive the HPV vaccine when their physicians received EHR reminders. Similarly aged patients were also 10 times more likely to complete the vaccine regimen when reminders were issued. Author Mack Ruffin, MD stresses that “workflow and culture of individual clinics is also a critical factor when it comes to prompts influencing vaccine rates.”

Government and Politics

Connecticut Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano call for support statewide interoperability in Bill 812, which outlines the need for implementation of EHRs and a publicly accountable HIE, while banning the practice of information blocking on the part of health systems and vendors. Introduced at the beginning of this year, the bill now faces review by the Committee on Appropriations.

Telemedicine

The American Association of Telemedicine awards its second Accreditation for Online Patient Consultations to mental health services provider HealthLinkNow. The business was launched five years ago by a husband and wife team with backgrounds in psychiatry and nursing.

The Center for Telehealth and E-Health Law crunch CMS numbers to find that Medicare paid out nearly $14 million for telemedicine services in 2014, compared to about $12 million in 2013. Both figures are far below the original 2001 Congressional Budget Office estimate of $30 million a year for telehealth encounter reimbursements.

Former U.S. Senator and Teladoc Board Member Bill Frist, MD fails to mention his business ties in a Fortune op-ed advocating for telemedicine services in Texas.

Prescription benefit management company Appro Rx President Kyle Fields invests $100,000 in Appro Connect, a new company that will install telehealth kiosks in independent pharmacies and workplaces. Kiosk users will connect to physicians via the Doctor on Demand app. A prototype will debut later this month near the company’s headquarters in Waynesville, Ohio, with a wider roll out expected this summer.

University of Melbourne Professor Alan Lopez suggests that mobile phones be used to transmit birth and death statistics, enabling public health officials to collect patient data that physicians could then use to determine the most common causes of death. Lopez doesn’t go into detail about how this would play out technologically, aside from a vague reference to algorithms, though he does point out that “140 countries, or 80 percent of the world’s population do not have reliable cause of death statistics. How can you influence country and global policy and intervention programs if you don’t know the underlying causes of illness and death?”

An Amazon patent application suggests the company is looking for ways to have its drones come directly to wherever a user’s smartphone is located via a “Bring it to Me” delivery option. I wonder if this likely super-pricey option is just the first step in Amazon’s bid to takeover the drive-through pharmacy business model.

Readers Write: ICD-10 – To Train or Not to Train?

ICD-10: To Train or Not to Train?
By Caleb Clarke

We’re getting close. The much anticipated transition to ICD-10 is set for Oct. 1, 2015 – only five months away. While many people are adamant that we must move forward, there is still talk of another delay. This puts healthcare professionals, especially those in small practices, in a tough position.

Aside from all of their external partners (payers, clearinghouses, software vendors, etc.), coders, billers, and physicians have a lot to learn to adapt to the new changes in coding standards. To spend significant time training and preparing, only to be hit with another delay, can be very frustrating.

Personally, I think the deadline will hold, and I believe ICD-10 will benefit our industry immensely in the long run. That said, findings from our recent “Attitudes Towards ICD-10” survey make me a little uneasy.

The survey says …

A little background: We’ve conducted three “Attitudes Towards ICD-10” surveys since 2012. Our goal is to get a sense of whether or not people’s attitudes and expectations are changing as we near the transition deadline. In the past, we saw significant resistance to ICD-10, especially among smaller practices. This year was no exception.

Right off the bat, we asked respondents how they felt about the new coding standards and the proposed timeline. In both cases, the top response was “There should be no transition to ICD-10” (a little less than a third for both questions). Unfortunately, these numbers aren’t much different than those from the past two surveys.

Participants reported the highest level of concern for “claims processing,” with 65 percent saying they’re “significantly” or “highly” concerned. When asked how they expect the switch to affect certain areas of their business, “finances” and “operations” drew the most negative outlook, with 70 percent saying they expect negative effects.

Training, or lack thereof

To get an idea of how much progress people are making in terms of training, we asked about their level of concern as it relates to “training and education” — the majority (56 percent) said they were “significantly” or “highly” concerned.

When we asked how confident they were that their employees will be adequately trained by October 1st, 35 percent said “not at all confident,” with only 11 percent noting they are “highly confident.” Five months out, we had hoped those numbers would be a little more skewed in the positive direction. So that brings us back to the question at hand …

To train, or not to train?

We know it can be tough with the chance of another delay looming, but … yes, train! Even if there is another delay, it’s too risky to wait. People’s concerns about claims getting backed up and finances struggling are very real threats. It can be difficult to account for all of your external partners, but one thing you can do is make sure your coders, billers, and physicians are comfortable and ready with the new code set.

If you’re able to spend a little extra time and money, there are several training programs you can invest in. For example, both the AAPC and AHIMA offer training webinars, resources, and assessments. Prices for the materials generally range from $100 to several hundred dollars each.

We also highly recommend checking out RoadTo10.org, the “one-stop source for all things ICD-10” from CMS. You’ll find a wealth of free information, including ICD-10 basics, physician perspectives, and webcasts on preparing and documenting for your specialty.

And perhaps the most simple, and most effective, way to train …

Practice, practice, practice!

Both the code set and the documentation style needed to accurately code are changing significantly. While ICD-9-CM included 14,025 diagnoses codes, ICD-10-CM has 69,823 codes – almost five times as many! This expansion is due to a much higher level of specificity. In the long term, it’s great – we’ll be able to much more accurately classify diagnoses and learn from the data. But in the short term, that’s a lot of learning.

Start with your list of common ICD-9 codes. Many coders and billers can rattle off their top 20 without thinking twice. Now they need to reach that same level of comfort with the new, expanded set of codes. Using a tool like ICD9Data.com, you can see how your most common ICD-9 codes map to ICD-10.

Additionally, the AMA offers simple “Snapshot Coding Cards” to help you find the right ICD-10 code. They offer cards for a number of different specialties, and they’re pretty cost effective (around $20 each).

While coders and billers are familiarizing themselves with the new code set, physicians should become comfortable with an increased level of specificity in their documentation. They should take the time to learn new codes as well – at least the most common ones. If they understand the level of specificity coders need to do their job, it will save a lot of frustrating conversations later (“Remember that patient you saw three days ago?” … “No.”).

To all the small shops out there who are struggling to prepare, I hope these tips and resources offer a little help. Even a few minutes per day can go a long way in keeping cash flow strong and steady through October 1.

City of Baltimore Health Commissioner Leana Wen, MD focuses on the nitty gritty of population and public health, describing her team’s efforts to ensure elderly and homebound citizens were able to refill their medications and find health services during the city’s riots: “Things that seemed straightforward often were not. Transferring prescriptions from one pharmacy to another would seem easy. But what happens if the pharmacies are in different chains, or if the one that closed was an independent pharmacy where all records were destroyed? The nearest pharmacy may be just a few blocks away, but what if the patient has limited mobility and even a few blocks are prohibitive?”  It’s sad to think that interoperability issues become a thorn in the side of public health officials (not to mention patients) during times of civil unrest.

PayPal Senior Director of Global Risk Sciences Hui Wang explains what makes a great data scientist, including a passion for solving problems, the willingness to be flexible in embracing new datasets and algorithms, and the ability to be a team player. On the flip side, she urges employers to shy away from candidates who are overly analytic or technical, given that, “Traditional analytical methodologies are not enough when it comes to catching up with the recent massive growth of both volume and variety of data.”

The HHS IdeaLab plans to update HealthData.gov this summer with a new set of technologies that will add more data capabilities. Launched in 2011, the data portal now offers over 1,900 datasets and hosts several apps, though its usability leaves something to be desired. “When you are trying to do analytics and reach some sort of hardcore knowledge generation, it’s just not going to happen with a stack of PDFs,“ explains Damon Davis,  director of the HHS Health Data Initiative. “We really want to drive a lot of the agencies across the department to produce more machine readable formats, the CSVs, the JSON files, a lot of structured output that will allow folks with real hardcore computing capabilities to take in multiple, disparate datasets and really start to advance knowledge generation across multiple different domains of health and social services.”

A new study finds physician e-prescribing to Medicare beneficiaries results in fewer adverse drug events. The study’s authors, including Aledade CEO Farzad Mostashari, MD, also concluded that the positive effects of e-prescribing (fewer hospitalizations and ED visits) vary among patient populations, given that poorer populations were less likely to see an e-prescribing physician. The study concludes with a call for further evaluation of income and racial disparities in access to e-prescribing physicians and risk of adverse drug events.

Telemedicine

A study of 116 healthcare stakeholders including physician practices finds that 26 percent of respondents have incorporated wearables into their efforts to engage patients in their own health management. Results also show that remote monitoring of patients has increased to 63 percent since the survey was last taken in 2013.

Announced in March, the ACO was created in partnership with the Kansas Foundation for Medical Care and will focus on independent primary care practices in Wichita, Topeka, and Western Kansas. Brull explains that, “I don’t get money by just stopping to do everything in my patients, because the quality of care would go way down. What I do get money for is by saving money over the period of a year for the government, and then they will share that savings back to me.” (Check out my recent interview with Aledade CEO Farzad Mostashari, MD here.)

A local news station points out the positives and negatives of the urgent care business model, highlighting one patient’s inability to transfer her Concentra Urgent Care health record to a local physician for a more accurate diagnosis. "The system failed because I believed the records are shared from doctor’s offices to other doctor offices, particularly if you have a release,” explains patient Laura Frey. "They never sent it." Parent company Humana announced plans to sell off Concentra earlier this year to the tune of $1.05 billion.
