I would like to gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Tom Betlach, the Director of AHCCCS; Lorie Mayer, HIT Director, AHCCCS; Jenna Jones, the Executive Director of Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners in Medicine and Surgery and Lisa Wynn, the Executive Director of the Arizona Medical Board.
The results to be presented today would not have been possible without their dedicated cooperation.
Data Collection Methods
• Data collection on physicians began in 1991. (Extended to nurses and pharmacists in 2007.)
• Survey data are merged with licensing applications.
• Scope of the survey limited by reliance on paper forms until adoption of electronic survey in March, 2012.
• Data are collected for in-state and out-of-state physicians. The current report is restricted to in-state physicians.
• Physicians with active licenses who are retired, semi-retired or on leave are excluded from the study.

Utilization of Electronic Medical
Records
Center for Health Information & Research
Electronic Medical Records
• In 2012-2013, approximately 61% of Arizona physicians who responded to the survey used some type of electronic medical record (EMR)
• In 2009-2011, approximately 52% of physicians used EMRs
• In the 2007-2009 approximately 45% of physicians used EMRs
Methods of Storing Medical Records 2012-2013 vs. 2007-2009 & 2009-2011
Source: AMB, ABOE Survey Data, 2007-2009; 2009-2011; 2012-2013. Note: 2007-2009, Respondents who did not identify a method of storing medical records (missing): 390 for 2007-2009 and 2,567 for 2012-2013.*Data on “EMR alone or in combination” is not mutually exclusive from other categories.
The Persistence of Paper
• Paper records alone declined from 46% to 12%
» BUT
• Paper & scanned images combined with EMR tripled– Problem of gradual conversion of files– Problem of lack of HIEs so practices with
EMRs sharing data on paper/scanned images
EMR Rates by Type of Practice, 2012-2013 (N = 5,323)
Source: AMB, ABOE Survey Data, 2012-2013.Note: Rates = % of physicians within each practice type. 1,196 respondents were missing type of practice.

Summary 2007-2013
• Sources of growth– Incentives/penalties designed to induce
increases in use of EMRs– As older physicians retire they are replaced by
cohorts trained in use of EMRs (see med school rates)
– Decrease in percentage of physicians in solo practice
Utilization of EMR Functions
Center for Health Information & Research
Summary Utilization of EMR Functions
The Exchange Problem
• Most but not all physicians use the functions included in their EMRs but relatively few who use the functions also exchange the information with others. – Patient care summary is used by approximately 91%
of physicians but only 33% of the physicians exchange the information.
– The comparable percentages for prescriptions are 89% using the function and 48% exchanging the information.
– Public health information: 76% utilization and 31% exchange.
HIE: the next frontier in HIT
• EMR use is not universal but the upward trend is well established
• Problem: most of the benefits of EMRs require exchanges among organizations
• Lack of HIEs and failure of many attempts show need for solutions
• HINAZ continues to expand

Summary of Rankings
• Despite widespread complaints about EMRs, average ratings are either neutral (3.0) or slightly positive (3.3)
• Rankings by vendor generally cluster around the overall means with some notable exceptions

Conclusion
• Percentage of physicians with EMRs is higher than national studies suggest, but much of the difference is due to difference in sample characteristics.
• Use of EMRs is generally limited to intra-office use with little electronic exchange of EMR data.
• Biggest obstacle is the absence of networks for the exchange of EMR data
• Variance among counties is very large with some rural counties having utilization rates higher than Maricopa and Pima.
• Many topics in the full report have been omitted from this presentation
Next Steps
• Current licensing renewal cycle ends in April 2014• Report on findings 2007-2014• Create new survey questions to be operational in
April 2014 (suggestions welcome)– Avoid asking same questions of same respondents
– Emphasize the effects of EMRs on practice
– Emphasize the nature of exchanging EMR information & barriers to exchange
– Create some separate decision trees for AHCCCS providers
Revising the Survey
• Organize a set of meetings to solicit suggestions for the issues to be addressed by the revised survey (October-November 2013)
• Draft the new survey and circulate among interested parties for comments (December 2013)
• January –March 2014 Software development & testing in cooperation with the licensing boards
• April 2014: implement the new survey
• YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (sign up sheet is being circulated)

The Trauma 1 project would not have been possible without their dedicated cooperation.
Overview
• Data collected from JCL, Scottsdale, St. Joseph’s, and MIHS trauma centers from 2008-2011.
• Patients 60+ with ground level falls are identified and merged across to the ADHS Discharge and Vital Stats datasets.
• Trauma level data, demographic data, previous medical history, and death records will be utilized to examine factors associated with mortality after falls.
– Relationship of underlying cause of death with fall.
– Nature of the cause of fall: mechanical or medical.
– Predictive factors for mortality.
