What is Meaningful Use?
“Meaningful use, in the long-term, is when EHRs are
used by health care providers to
improve patient care, safety and
quality.”
David Blumenthal, MDNational Coordinator for HIT

Health Story: Guiding Principles
7. Use proven technology
6. Base strategy on existing standards
5. Minimize disruption to clinician workflow
4. Provide a glide path for incremental interoperability
3. Enable broad stakeholder engagement
2. Leverage current technology investments
1. Inclusive and open process

Health Story: Incremental Interoperability

HL7 Clinical Document Architecture
Health Story specifications are based on HL7 CDA
CDA is “just right” Single standard for entire
EHR is too broad Multiple standards and/or
messages for each EHR function may be too difficult to implement
www.hl7.org | www.healthstory.com
Other benefits of CDA: Normative HL7 standard since 2000 Widely implemented Provides a gentle on-ramp to information
exchange Provides mechanism for inserting evidence-
based medicine directly into the process of care
Top down strategy lets you implement once and reuse many times for new scenarios
HL7 Clinical Document Architecture
www.hl7.org | www.healthstory.com
Based on HL7 CDA
Clinical Document Architecture supports: Human readable document Machine-processable data (e.g. discrete
reportable transcription) Cross platform and application independent
Health Story Approach Standardize through ANSI SDO (HL7 ballot)
Support Meaningful Use
Minimum Optimum
• CDA header • Standard section codes
• Broad industry agreement on clinical content
• Reuse of entry-level templates• “Templated CDA”
www.hl7.org | www.healthstory.com
Health Story Documents
Blend between free form text and fully structured documentation that represent the thought process, and capture the clinical facts Health Story makes “discrete reportable transcription” work

Minimal Document for Exchange

Health Story and Meaningful Use
Required data is in clinical notes Physicians do not write summaries (CCR & CCD) Summary data is drawn from many sources, including clinical notes Some data may, increasingly, be direct-physician entered
Data required for Meaningful Use can be captured in clinical notes and integrated into the EHR Natural language processing: it’s real, it works, it’s available and it works
very well in the context of structured CDA templates Abstractors, computer assisted coding, transcription knowledge workers:
same workflow, altered coding focus
CDA templates ensure consistency, conformance
Template-driven dictation Standard templates give real-time feedback to dictation physicians
Ensure conformance, provide structured data

Templated CDA is the basis for ... Consult Note Continuity of Care Document Diagnostic Imaging Report Discharge Summary Healthcare-associated Infections, Public
Health Case Reports History and Physical Operative Note Personal Health Monitoring Plan-2-Plan Personal Health Record Procedure Note Quality Reporting Document Minimum Data Set Unstructured Documents … and more …

Path to Meaningful Use
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzuChinese philosopher (604 BX – 531 BC)

Health Story Meaningful Use
Meaningful Use
Health Story Interoperability Strategy
Delivers common clinical documents to the point of care
Standardizing document types and sections today makes it easier to agree on data elements tomorrow
Incrementally adding key data elements into narrative is attractive to clinicians
Partial structuring facilitates natural language processing
Health Story’s path to Meaningful Use
Hit the ground running with basic CDA, to meet the needs of front line clinicians
Incrementally layer discrete data elements into CDA documents
