ONC Direct Project Collaboration Pilots
Let's hear it for NY'S MedAllies!
Seven pilots in total . sv
MedAllies has been tapped to be part of a national effort to fast track electronic information exchange, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT announced at the launch of the Direct Project. The Hudson Valley has been selected as one of seven pilot sites to go live in 2011, and MedAllies was specifically mentioned during a Feb. 2 White House press conference announcing the program. Direct Project, a public/private collaborative, is an effort is to find a simple, secure, scalable, standards-based way for participants to send authenticated, encrypted health information via the Internet. That capability supports Meaningful Use requirements. MedAllies anticipates providing a national network capable of supporting interoperability of all physicians using certified EHR systems by the end of 2011. It will demonstrate the technological capabilities at HIMSS next week. "This is an important milestone in our journey to achieve secure health information exchange, and it means that health care providers large and small will have an early option for electronic exchange of information supporting their most basic and frequently needed uses," said Dr. David Blumenthal, ONC chief

NY County Medical Society Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) Presentation
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs): What They Are, What They Are Not and What They May Be
Monday, February 28, 2011, 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Hospital for Special Surgery (Conference Room C), 535 East 70th Street, New York, NY
The ACO, authorized by the 2010 healthcare reform act, is a new provider configuration the government thinks may have great potential - to boost quality, help cut costs and put physicians in a key decision-making role. Big savings and bonuses may be possible for ACOs. But will physicians control ACOs - or will control be taken over by the hospitals? What should physicians be doing right now?
With presentations by Kern Augustine attorney Donald Moy (who's also Counsel to MSSNY) and ACO expert Marion Davis - followed by a panel discussion with NYCMS physician leaders Scot Glasberg MD and Michael Goldstein MD, and NYCMS counsel Scott Einiger.
The ACO will take global responsibility for the care of a specific group of Medicare patients, all the way from initial office visits through hospital stays.
- Will the old problems of capitation creep in again?
- Will shared savings and bonuses actually materialize - now that Congress is talking about dismantling parts of the healthcare reform law?
- Will all Medicare beneficiaries be routed into ACOs? What will happen to primary care physicians who aren't part of ACOs?
- Are clinical guidelines well enough developed? And are physicians ready to collaborate on this level?
- Huge, powerful IT systems will be needed. Can the physician-run ACO afford to buy and maintain those systems? (Remember: Hospitals have cheaper access to capital.)
- The physician-run ACO will be a network, with primary care physicians in decision-making roles. The goal: To minimize unnecessary specialty care. What will happen to specialists?
- What will the insurers do? Will they all switch over to the new ACO-oriented payment model at the same time?
- What if the public blames physicians for withholding or rationing care?
- Should physicians rush to form and join ACOs? What might be some pitfalls?
Be sure to join us for this discussion! Sign up as soon as possible: "Accountable Care Organizations: What They Are, What They Are Not, and What They May Be," in Conference Room C, Hospital for Special Surgery, 535 East 70th, New York, NY, on Monday, February 28, 2010.

NCQA's Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) 2011 Released
The biggest changes reflect a more patient-centric point of view based upon feedback as well as the inclusion of Meaningful Use language. In the end, a Patient Centered Medical Home should Meaningfully Use Health Information Technology. SV
On January 31, the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) released new standards for its Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) program. The revised standards call on medical practices to be more patient-centered and reinforce federal "meaningful use" incentives for primary care practices to adopt health information technology.
NCQA's PCMH 2011 program provides a roadmap for practices to improve delivery and the experience of care for both clinicians and patients. The PCMH 2011 standards offer guidance on developing better chronic care management programs, enhancing patient engagement and improving patient outreach. They are focused on evidence-based requirements to improve quality and reduce costs and encourage practices to adopt proven systems for improving care.
More information on the revised standards can be found here.
