PROGRAM CHAIR:
Dr. Brent Fox, PharmD, PhD, Associate Professor, Pharmacy Care Systems
Description
From her position as Deputy National Coordinator for Programs and Policy at the ONC, Judy Murphy is uniquely qualified to illustrate the state of health IT at the national level. The final requirements for Meaningful Use Stage 1 and 2 are behind us -- requirements which focused on electronic data capture and information exchange to enable Stage 3, which is all about improving patient outcomes. As the country approaches $15 billion in incentive payments, we are only beginning the journey to a truly transformed health care system. Exemplary health systems have led the way, with many others following the trail that has been blazed. As we push into Stage 3 and beyond, what should we be doing to maintain a patient-centric view that enables safe and efficient medication therapy? How do we move the needle in interoperability and health data exchange? How do we ensure that patients become and remain engaged? Get answers to all your questions right from the ONC source in this session which kicks off the Informatics Series at the Summer Meeting.
- Describe the current state of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Meaningful Use Program.
- Discuss the specific Meaningful Use objectives for creating and maintaining a patient-centric record in terms of interoperability and patient engagement.
- Explain likely future developments related to interoperability and patient engagement in EHRs.
- Formulate opportunities for pharmacy staff to advance efforts to ensure that patients are kept at the center of all we do in healthcare.
