Study: Many Physicians Eligible for Incentives but Lack EHRs

Many physicians are eligible for federal incentive payments for the meaningful use of electronic health records but lack a basic EHR system, according to a study published in the journal Health Affairs, Healthcare IT News reports.

Under the 2009 economic stimulus package, health care providers who demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHRs can qualify for incentive payments through Medicare and Medicaid. Eligibility for the incentive payment programs is based on the number of Medicare and Medicaid patients seen.

For the study, researchers used data from the 2007 and 2008 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey to gauge EHR use by nonfederal, office-based physicians (Merrill, Healthcare IT News, 3/8).

Key Findings

Overall, researchers found that nearly 83% of office-based physicians are eligible for either the Medicare or Medicaid incentive program. They noted that:

• About 76% of physicians could qualify for the Medicare incentive program; and
• About 15% could qualify for the Medicaid incentive program.

Physicians must choose to participate in either the Medicare or the Medicaid incentive program. Because the Medicaid program likely would offer higher incentive payments, researchers assumed that most physicians eligible for the Medicaid program would pursue it (Conn, Modern Healthcare, 3/8).

The study also found that:

• 70.5% of physicians are eligible for either the Medicare or Medicaid incentives, but do not have a basic EHR system;
• 14.6% of physicians are not eligible for incentives and do not have a basic EHR;
• 12.1% of physicians are eligible for incentives and have a basic EHR; and
• 2.8% of physicians are not eligible for incentives and have a basic EHR system (Healthcare IT News, 3/8).

In addition, researchers found that eligibility for the EHR incentive programs varied by medical specialty. For example, 91% of general practice, internal medicine and family practice specialists are eligible for incentives, compared with 53% of pediatricians.

Recommendations

Researchers recommended that policymakers broaden eligibility requirements for the incentive payments to help more specialists qualify for the programs (Modern Healthcare, 3/8).

The study authors wrote that "if after the HITECH incentives have been implemented, research reveals that physicians still are not generally using EHRs and that further incentives would lead to commensurate gains in the quality and efficiency of care, there would be stronger basis for recommending changes in the incentive structure" (Healthcare IT News, 3/8).

OmniMD™ EMR Receives SureScripts®’s Certification for Electronic Prescribing

Tarrytown (NY) - December 30, 2008 – CCHIT Certified OmniMD™, a developer of HIPAA compliant Internet-based enterprise healthcare, Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Practice Management solutions, is pleased to announce its certification by SureScripts®, operator of the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange™. SureScripts®’s certification allows for interoperability with the nation’s community pharmacies, which improves the safety and efficiency of the prescribing process and the quality of patient care. Physicians using OmniMD™’s EMR application can now connect directly with local pharmacies connected to the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange, operated by SureScripts®.

Starting 2009, providers will be able to earn additional money from Medicare if they use electronic prescribing systems, U.S. health officials said Monday.

The bonus program, which will continue for four years, is designed to streamline the prescription process and cut down on errors. In 2009 and 2010, Medicare will give doctors an additional 2 percent bonus on top of their fee for "e-prescribing." In 2011 and 2012, the bonus will drop to 1 percent, and in 2013, the bonus will drop again to 0.5 percent, officials said.

"There are terrific human and financial costs to illegible prescriptions," Mike Leavitt, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said during a Monday afternoon teleconference.

According to the Institute of Medicine, 1.5 million Americans are injured every year by drug errors, Leavitt said. Another study found that each year pharmacists make more than 150 million phone calls to doctors to clarify what was written on the prescription, he added.

"We are dedicated to providing solutions that improve the efficiency of medical practices and the quality of patient care. OmniMD™’s Prescription Writer already has a functionality to check for drug interactions, print patient medication sheets, create favorite prescriptions and check prescription coverage at the point of care. Surescripts® electronic prescribing will certainly improve the efficiency, safety and overall quality of the prescribing process for our customers. “ said Divan Dave, CEO, OmniMD™.

This certification will allow providers to establish a two-way computer-to-computer connection with the majority of pharmacies in their area. Using this connection, providers can send prescriptions electronically to the patient’s pharmacy of choice before the patient leaves the provider’s office. Patients will no longer need to worry about losing paper prescriptions or pharmacies having to call offices to verify illegible prescriptions. When a patient needs a prescription refilled, a pharmacy will be able to send the request to the provider’s office electronically, eliminating the need for time consuming phone calls and faxes. This will also reduce potential errors with prescriptions due to misread handwriting.

This also provides access to lifesaving information about patients during emergencies or routine care.
