Meaningful Use Overview Regulatory Definition
In HITECH, Congress specified three types of requirements for meaningful use:
1. use of certified EHR technology in a meaningful manner (e.g. Electronic Prescribing);
2. 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
3. that, in using certified EHR technology, the provider submits to the Secretary information on clinical quality measures and such other measures selected by the Secretary.

CMS Vision for Stages:Requirements Scaling Up Over Time
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
1. Capturing health information in a coded format
2. Using the information to track key clinical conditions
3. Communicating captured information for care coordination purposes
4. Reporting of clinical quality measures and public health information
1. Disease management, clinical decision support
2. Medication management
3. Support for patient access to their health information
4. Transitions in care
5. Quality measurement
6. Research
7. Bi-directional communication with public health agencies
1. Achieving improvements in quality, safety and efficiency
2. Focusing on decision support for national high priority conditions
3. Patient access to self-management tools
4. Access to comprehensive patient data
5. Improving population health outcomes
For Stage 2, CMS may also consider applying the criteria more broadly to both the inpatient and outpatient hospital settings. CMS expects to propose Stage 2 criteria by the end of 2011.
CMS expects to propose Stage 3 criteria by the end of 2013.
12
Framework of Health Reform: Payment Policy Changes
Reduce Cost of Care
Stimulate Administrative Efficiencies
•HIT Incentives
Limit FFS Payment Updates
•Medicare captures productivity gains
•FFS becomes less attractive
Improve Coordination of Care
Encourage creation of new delivery organizations including:
•Medical Homes, particularly for chronic care populations
•Accountable care organizations
Tie Payments to Broader Units of Service
•Hospital and Physician Payment Bundles
•Episode-Based Payment Bundles
Alter Content of Care
Improving Scientific Basis of Healthcare Decisions
•Based on Comparative Effectiveness Research
Payment Tied to Patient Outcomes
•Based on Quality Measures
13
Health Information Exchange: Changing the Paradigm
Today“One-to-One” Exchange
Today“One-to-One” Exchange
• Human judgment plays a critical role in determining what information is shared and with whom
• Phone conversations between clinicians for purposes of treatment frequently replace the need for physically exchanged information.
• Authentication of requests for information is heavily reliant on relationships between organizations or individuals charged with information sharing.
Tomorrow“Many-to-Many”
Exchange
Tomorrow“Many-to-Many”
Exchange
• In an environment of ubiquitous electronic HIE, data will be gathered or transferred between multiple entities without benefit of the familiar relationships of the old paradigm.
• At the time of collecting the data, verification of the requester and sources will be critical, and may require sophisticated permission and authorization controls.

Key Strategic Decisions for North Carolina
– How will the NC Statewide HIE relate to regional HIEs? (Governance)
– What State incentives/tools/levers may be used to quickly facilitate significant participation in the statewide HIE? (Governance)
– How will the State ensure that the public interest is protected? (Governance & Legal/Policy)
– What core infrastructure and services will be offered? (Clinical/Technical Operations)
– How will start up and ongoing costs be financed and sustained over time? (Finance)
– What policies will be implemented to protect privacy and security of data and promote trust? (Legal/Policy)
23
State HIE Cooperative Agreement Program: Governance
• The statewide HIE should provide governance, leadership, and accountability around the management of the HIE infrastructure, privacy and security, and a mechanism for consumer and provider participation.
• The Governance Workgroup will– Develop a governance framework that will ensure broad-based stakeholder
collaboration and transparency– Develop and vet governance models to be recommended to the NC HIE
Board
• The Workgroup will be tasked with ensuring a governance framework characterized by: – Alignment with Medicaid and public health programs– The ability to provide oversight and accountability to protect the public
interest– The support of providers statewide to achieve meaningful use
24
State HIE Cooperative Agreement Program: Governance
ONC’s Achievements Expected by 2011
• Governance Structure: Establish a governance structure that achieves broad-based stakeholder collaboration with transparency, buy-in and trust.
• Goals, Objectives, Measures: Set goals, objectives and performance measure for HIE reflecting consensus among stakeholder groups, accomplish statewide coverage of all providers for HIE meaningful use criteria.
• Coordination: Ensure coordination, integration, alignment of efforts with Medicaid and public health programs via efforts with HIT Coordinators.
• Oversight and Accountability: Establish oversight and accountability mechanisms to protect the public interest.
• Alignment with National Governance: Account for the flexibility needed to align with emerging nationwide HIE governance (as specified).

State-level HIE Governance & Technical Operations
In support of a statewide organizing capacity, state-level efforts serve two important and distinct roles:
• Governance: A primary role to convene health care stakeholders, promote collaboration, develop consensus, coordinate policies and procedures to secure data sharing, and lead and oversee statewide efforts.
• Technical operations: An optional and variable role to manage and operate the technical infrastructure, services, and/or applications to support statewide efforts.
Role Governance Technical Operations
Function Convene Coordinate Operate/Manage
Task • Provide neutral forum for all stakeholders
• Educate constituents & inform HIE policy deliberations
• Advocate for statewide HIE• Serve as an information
resource for local HIE and health IT activities
• Track/assess national HIE and health IT efforts
• Facilitate consumer input
• Develop and lead plan for implementation of statewide solutions for interoperability.
• Promote consistency and effectiveness of statewide HIE policies and practices
• Support integration of HIE efforts with other healthcare goals, objectives, & initiatives
• Facilitate alignment of statewide, interstate, & national HIE strategies
• Serve as central hub for statewide or national data sources and shared services
• Own or contract with vendor(s) for the hardware, software, and/or services to conduct HIE
• Provide administrative support & serve as a technical resource to local HIE efforts
28
Governance: Considerations
• Important distinction between state government and statewide governance, which refers to the process to serve the collective interests in the State.
• Governance occurs at multiple levels: local, regional, statewide, interstate, and federal. States must define the roles, inter-relationships, and obligations within and across these layers.
• Effective governance is built on inclusive and transparent processes that identify and develop practical policies for key decisions.
• Accountability can be achieved through a variety of mechanisms, including statutory, regulatory, contracts, self-enforcement.
• Should the State-level effort be empowered to sanction/accredit other entities (e.g. local health information exchanges, providers, payers) participation in the exchange of data in a state?
29
Potential Functions of a Comprehensive Governance Entity
Administration
Provides operational and financial oversight, as necessary. Likely overseen by an Executive Director and staff that reports to a Board of Directors. Includes oversight of Fiscal processing Legal issues Contracting
Statewide Collaboration Process
Open and transparent stakeholder process to develop statewide policies and procedures around: Health Outcomes Privacy & security Technology Sustainability Evaluation & Accountability
Shared Services
Contract for and manage services to be utilized by all HIEs across the state, for example Core services State-level services Membership Testing Monitoring
Adoption Services
Provides support and assistance with adoption and implementation of Electronic health records (EHRs) Health information exchange (HIE) Electronic prescribing (eRx) Personal health records (PHRs)
Communication and Education
Provides outreach and education tools around HIE activities and its implications to Consumers Providers

31
Governance – Option 1
Option Pros Cons
Market-Driven Approach The State, either directly through a State agency or through a contract with a not-for-profit governance entity, obtains and distributes grant funds through an RFP process to local and regional HIE efforts across the state. Each local or regional HIE effort is responsible for its own policy, governance and operations. Coordination and interoperability across HIEs is dependent upon existing and emerging federal standards.
• Direct• Cost effective• Ensures market
support• Necessarily self-
supported • Most rapid
procurement process
• No defined structure for building consensus or generating widespread mutual trust
• May lack urgency • May leave public health or
policy goals unachieved• Experience to date does not
demonstrate support for a true market-based approach
• Requires mechanism to address coverage gaps
• Risks sub-optimal realization of meaningful use dollars
• Lacks coordinated strategyMarket-Driven Approach

Governance – Option 2 (A)
Option Pros Cons
Not-for-profit Governance EntityThe State contracts with a not-for-profit governance entity that is responsible for managing the statewide collaboration process, recommending statewide policy and guidance and governing the operations of HIE efforts throughout the state. The not-for-profit governance entity does not operate the HIE directly, but contracts with either one statewide HIE or multiple regional HIEs to provide HIE operations.
• Builds consensus and trust in a multi-stakeholder environment
• May be removed from State political changes
• Multi-stakeholder environment likely improves long-term sustainability
• Allows for flexibility • Voluntary self-
regulation avoids creating a State bureaucratic process
• Facilitates alignment with counties and cities
• Creates a new level of organization that may threaten the independence of existing HIE initiatives
• Requires immediate initial investment in administrative resources
• May require compliance with state procurement law

Option Pros Cons
Not-for-profit Governance Entity and Operator
The State contracts with a not-for-profit governance entity that is responsible for managing the statewide collaboration process, recommending statewide policy and guidance and governing the operations of HIE efforts throughout the state. The not-for-profit governance entity is responsible for operating the statewide HIE or shared statewide HIE services.
• Facilitates interoperability among HIEs using State services
• Builds consensus and trust in a multi-stakeholder environment
• May be removed from State political changes
• Multi-stakeholder environment likely improves long-term sustainability
• Allows for flexibility • Voluntary self-regulation
avoids creating a State bureaucratic process
• Facilitates alignment with counties and cities
• May supplant or require significant modification to existing exchanges with the operation of a single statewide exchange or statewide corer services
• Creates a new level of organization that may threaten the independence of existing HIE initiatives
• Requires immediate initial investment in administrative resources
• May require procurement with state procurement law
34
Governance – Option 3
Option Pros Cons
State Led The State, directly through a State agency, is responsible for managing the statewide collaboration process, recommending statewide policy and guidance and governing the operations of HIE efforts throughout the state. The State does not operate the HIE directly, but contracts with either one statewide HIE or multiple regional HIEs to provide HIE operations.
• Elevates priority of State health outcomes
• Prioritizes State HIE goals
• May build on existing State efforts
• Adherence to existing State process and guidelines
• Greater likelihood of alignment with other State initiatives
• The State has experience implementing complex programs
• Creates accountability with the State
• Requires State commitment to administrative funding that does not exist today
• May be less flexible and unable to respond to immediate needs
• State procurement process may lengthen implementation timelines
• Some do not support increasing the size of government
