Description: The Centralized Interoperability Suite (CIS) - Office Hours occur monthly on the second Tuesday from 11:00am - 12:00pm MT. The IHS Central Interoperability Suite (CIS) is a group of applications that facilitate the presentation of visit data for patients, the secure messaging between provider and patient, the matching of patients with their data, and the exchange of visit data within and outside of the Indian Health System. The applications supporting these functions are the Personal Health Record (PHR), Direct Secure Messaging (Direct), the legacy Master Patient Index (MPI) and the legacy Health Information Exchange (HIE) Repository, and the Four Directions Hub (4DH) with the new Patient Index and the Clinical Viewer. | ||

Description: The IHS Division of Health Information Technology Modernization and Operations (DHITMO) is dedicated to collaboration in the Health IT Modernization Program. DHITMO is excited to introduce PATH EHR, which stands for "Patients at the Heart." PATH reflects IHS commitment to supporting individuals on their healing journeys, promoting empowerment, and enhancing health in alignment with community values. The PATH EHR embraces the IHS vision to provide a user-managed, high-quality EHR that facilitates sustainable and accessible healthcare. To assist I/T/U sites in preparing for PATH EHR implementation, DHITMO has created the "Getting Ready to Get Ready" Guide. This guide outlines essential tasks across four categories: (a) technical, (b) staffing, (c) security, and (d) business processes. While completing these tasks does not guarantee immediate inclusion in the implementation cohort, it does enhance a site's readiness for implementation. The Implementation and Deployment team will reach out to sites at the appropriate time to discuss the next steps for EHR implementation. Additionally, the IHS National Council of Informatics (NCI) has identified Legacy RPMS EHR Optimization Activities to support the preparation process, including: (a) RPMS EHR HIT Assessment (b) Safer Guide (c) BCMA for Emergency Department, Day Surgery, Radiology, IV Infusion (d) Aligning BCMA Effectiveness with PATH EHR (Oracle Health) (e) 24-Hour Pharmacy Support (f) ADC Profiling (g) RPMS EHR for Inpatient/ED Configuration (h) Socializing WRAP BPM Workflows (i) ED POCUS (j) PAMPI (Problems – Allergies – Medications – Procedures – Immunizations) (k) STI/Syphilis Informatics Response (l) ASQ Initiative (m) SDOH – Social Drivers of Health (n) RPMS EHR Standing Order Authentication (o) Provider Accounts File Standardization (p) Pharmacist Ordering Key PATH EHR marks a significant step toward enhancing health information technology with a focus on patient-centered care. As we move forward, the support from the Implementation and Deployment team, along with the optimization activities identified by the IHS National Council of Informatics, will be instrumental in successfully launching the PATH EHR and improving health outcomes for the populations we serve. | ||

Description: THE PURPOSE OF THIS STI SYNDEMIC RESPONSE DEPLOYMENT & DATA MANAGEMENT SERIES is to Develop & Deploy Informatics Solutions to address the STI Syphilis Surge in Indian Country. SEE IHS CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER DIRECTIVE OCTOBER 25, 2022 Unfortunately, there is a surge in syphilis cases in Indian Country. After conferring with the IHS Infectious Disease Consultant, it is imperative that definitive action be taken to address STIs at all sites across the agency. Therefore, the following should be done at each service unit and community-based testing coordinated with your community health teams and public health nursing. 1. Annual syphilis testing for persons aged 13-64 to eliminate syphilis transmission by early case recognition. An annual EHR reminder should be turned on at all sites to facilitate testing for two years or until incidence rates decrease locally to baseline. 2. Adoption of an STI/HIV/Viral hepatitis testing bundle at all sites to screen broadly: a. Syphilis screening test with reflex RPR and TPPA b. HIV serology (with documentation of consent if required in the local state jurisdiction) c. Screening for gonorrhea and chlamydia at three sites: Urine, Pharynx, Rectum d. Screening for hepatitis B and C e. Pregnancy test 3. Adoption of "Golden Ticket Testing": On-demand, no-provider/no nurse lab visits for testing, including the above bundle 4. Enhance screening rates by screening out the hospital/clinic in the community a. Field testing at Chapter House or equivalent community centers, Health Fairs, community events b. Utilization of IWTK ( I want the kit) self-testing ( For information, contact Rick Haverkate) 5. Field treatments for syphilis by PHNs with Benzathine Penicillin. (For questions, contact Tina Tah or Melissa Wyaco) Let's work together to address this serious issue!! dr. C L. Christensen MD MBA MSJ FACS Chief Medical Officer Indian Health Service | ||
