  4. What is the “eHR Viewer” A secure website developed for Saskatchewan health care providers that provides access to patient profiles regardless of where they present for care or where they live in the province.

  5. eHR Viewer: Background • eHealthSaskatchewan/Orion Health Collaboration • Project aligns with the province’s overall interoperable EHR strategy - integrates Orion Health’s Clinical Portal Saskatchewan applications. • Integration - multi-vendor, cross-collaborative team of Project Managers, Healthcare SME’s, Technical Leads and Implementation Consultants.   • Canada Health Infoway as a funding partner

  7. Initial eHR assets Patient data in Saskatchewan is created/stored in various systems. For example: • Laboratory Information Systems • Pharmacy Information System • Saskatchewan Immunization Management System (SIMS) • Radiology Information System (RIS) and Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) • Hospital Systems (Sunrise Clinical Manager) • Physician Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems • Transcription Systems

  8. Goals in building the eHR Viewer • The SK EHR vision is “Simply stated… getting the right information, to the right individual, at the right time, in the right place!” to: • Improve quality of patient care through informed decision making, • Improve the patient experience through the coordination of service delivery, • Improve overall efficiency and sustainability of the health sector, • Inform management decision-making and provide the necessary information base, • Support planning, outcome measurement, accountability and research.

  9. Goals of the Project Team • Provide value to the patients, clinicians/health care providers • Align with health system priorities • Continue to leverage the supporting infrastructure for the EHR • Continue to evolve the EHR infostructure • Continue to Add Value – make it “do-able”

  10. Evolution of eHR Viewer • Diagnostic images • Clinical encounters • Integration with hospital systems in context • Patient Portal • Remaining Health Regions & Canadian Blood Services Labs Future 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 • Immunization information • Discharge Summaries • Clinical Document Repository • Chronic Disease Management Data • Clinical Observation Repository • Prince Albert Parkland & Prairie North Labs • Pharmaceutical profile (PIP) • Drug Allergies & Contraindications (PIP) • Sun Country, Mamawetan, Saskatoon BloodBank Labs • eHR Viewer (IDM, patient demographics & Lab Results, Privacy services) • Integration w/ Shared Client Index • Saskatchewan Lab Results Repository(SLRR) • Five Hills & Kelsey Trail Labs • Provincial Standard Lab message • SDCL & Sunrise Labs • Direct Lab Distribution to EMR’s • Regina Qu’Appelle & Saskatoon Labs

  15. Clinical Data in the eHR Viewer • Dispensed Medications

  16. Clinical Data in the eHR Viewer • Known Medication Allergies and Intolerances

  17. Clinical Data in the eHR Viewer • Immunizations

  18. Clinical Data in the eHR Viewer • Transcribed Clinical Reports – Discharge Summaries

  19. Clinical Data in the eHR Viewer • Chronic Disease Management indicators

  22. Benefits • Fewer duplicate tests and quicker access to information • Access to over 90% of all lab results. • Lab Results Repository has more than 30 million lab test results, (60,000/day). • History of previous testing • Integration to Pharmacy Information Program repository provides access to over 105 million prescriptions (43,000/day). • Ease of use and implementation - Intuitive user interface • Highly scalable and able to integrate with other health systems and data domains. • As eHR Viewer is rolled out across the province, clinical data will be available anywhere a patient seeks medical care in province

  23. Facilitates the sharing of patient centric information across the continuum of care

  24. A more accurate & timely picture of the patient Less time waiting for information Better treatment decisions Faster diagnosis

  25. Reduced duplicate laboratory testing Reduced duplicate medication treatment Activelyinvolve patients Supporting patient confidentiality

  26. Lessons Learned • Rigorous project planning and execution • Strong project governance structure (agile decision-making) • Steering Committee • Clinical Consultation • Privacy and data governance • Build the right team – “One Team” approach • Never under estimate the time for each project phase • Do-able value added releases

  27. Lessons Learned • Ensure supporting business process readiness • Streamline the on boarding process: • Online User Self Registration • Online Acceptance of User Agreements • Online training and self-directed tools and supports • Online User account management (Password resets) • Document, Document, Document • Test, Test, Test • Keep an eye on performance • Pilot with providers – “limited production roll-out”

  28. A few more testimonials… “The eHR Viewer is the best lab information source I have seen…the interface is intuitive. I can quickly log on from anywhere; it is easy to find patients; and best of all, even if a patient's tests were done in another health region, the results are still immediately available.“ Dr. Milo Fink – Saskatchewan Physician “Since I began using the eHR Viewer I have been able to impact patient care in a positive way each and every day.” Kimberly Sentes – Saskatchewan Pharmacist
