2012 Report from CMS re Electronic Health Records
These are incredible figures! I think it shows how an economic stimulus program can help well-intentioned physicians move in the right direction. The positive ripple effect to the well being of the community of patients will continue to be felt and has been documented by many groups including the NYC DOH PCIP. sv
CMS has released February 2012 data that highlights program-to-date (since January 2011) participation and payment totals under the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs. The February report documents continued growth in registrations and payments, including:
More than 211,500 eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals, and critical access hospitals (CAHs) have registered for the Medicare and/or Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs since January 2011
More than 20,000 registered for the Medicare and/or Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs in the month of February
More than 62,000 EPs, eligible hospitals, and CAHs have been paid for successfully participating in the Medicare and/or Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs
More than $3.8 billion has been paid in Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program payments to EPs, eligible hospitals, and CAHs across the country
More than $738 million was paid in the month of February
Visit the Data and Reports page on the EHR website to review more of more data on continued acceleration in registration and payment data.

Happy Doctor's Day
The first Doctors Day observance was March 30, 1933 in Winder, Georgia. Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, decided to set aside a day to honor physicians. This first observance included the mailing greeting cards and placing flowers on graves of deceased doctors. The red carnation is commonly used as the symbolic flower for National Doctors Day.
On March 30, 1958, a Resolution Commemorating Doctors Day was adopted by the United States House of Representatives. In 1990, legislation was introduced in the House and Senate to establish a national Doctors Day. Following overwhelming approval by the United States Senate and the House of Representatives, on October 30, 1990, President George Bush signed S.J. RES. #366 (which became Public Law 101-473) designating March 30, 1991 as "National Doctors Day."
Doctors Day marks the date that Crawford W. Long, M.D., of Jefferson, GA, administered the first ether anesthetic for surgery on March 30, 1842. On that day, Dr. Long administered ether anesthesia to a patient and then operated to remove a tumor from the man’s neck. Later, the patient would swear that he felt nothing during the surgery and wasn’t aware the surgery was over until he awoke

EHRs and FDA Goals: Safety and Adherence
Keynote speaker: Janet Woodcock, MD, Director for Drug Evaluation and Research, FDA
Speaker Comments
No consistent way to track if patients are taking their meds.
30% lapse in taking medications after one year.
What are the outcomes?
Effectiveness (real world) vs efficacy (artifical environment)
Patients often do not which meds they are taking or the reasons for use
FDA: No consistent way to track the diagnoses associated the with the medicaion
Epidemic of opiod abuse
Uncertainity leads to lawsuits, medicaton recalls, less favorable outcomes
Essential factors needed;
Integration of relevant drug information into work flow
Ability to access additional information is one click away
Integraton of REMs (risk elimination and medication)
Up to date medication lists for patients and prescribers
Patient education information to use the medication safely and effectively: FDA mandated single page leaflet
Abilithy to link pharmacies and providers with patients in the center: PCMH; including hosptilal discharge medications
AKA Medication Reconciliation
Abillity of provider report adverses event easily
Standarize terms to faciliate secondary use of data
Safey surveillance
Currently using min-sentinal system from Harvard Pilgrim :over 125 million patients
Based on claims
Uses common data model: no central repository, distributed model
Standardized queries are then sent out, turn around within two days
OMAP
2 million lives
methods research
observational research still needs work
800,000 adverse events reported per year
500,000 serious and unexpected
no system in place for thorough analysis
Paperless medication labeling is a goal
Drug safety communicatons are standardized but often without specifics
All of the above require integration with EHRs
Hope to integrate research capability into EHRs
Research needs to be part of clinical practice
Most cancer patients are not given the option to participate in research
Working with ONC
Gaps
Only 50% of practices have EHRs
Some EHRs are just electronic paper charts
Care is not consistently patient centered
Patient annotation of medication of experience is not yet available
Needs
A quick reponse for diseminating adverse events information
Better understanding and communication with patients regarding adherence
Better understaning of off-label use
Faster migration of medications to OTC
Better EHR adoption
Better EHR documentation of the medication use process
If you attended, please share your comments here. SV
