Let's take 5 min to introduce ourselves. Who are you? What do you do? Where are you from? And what's your biggest pet peeve? #HITsm
Healthcare Scene @HealthcareScene
Welcome to today's #HITsm chat hosted by @techguy on the topic of "Government Regulations for Healthcare – Where Are We At and Where Are We Headed?" Details: https://t.co/xAEkAQ5XBO https://t.co/FQzAQPtqKL
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO
Me? My parents taught me to never discuss sex, religion, or politics. (On either my personal or professional Twitter accounts.) That said, I do have opinions about all of those topics & do not begrudge others from expressing their views! #HITsm

Chuck! Workflow, 3D printing & virtual reality*! Here for #HITsm tweetchat on government regulation of health IT. *PS Shoutout to Dalton & his new #OculusGo! Looking forward to his #socialVR events on data analytics, physician burnout & #SDOH of loneliness https://t.co/7MdLGKI0sg
Matt Fisher @Matt_R_Fisher
Good afternoon/morning #HITsm. Like today's topic and expect lots of opinions on it. Matt, healthcare lawyer from central MA. current pet peeve is children deliberately ignoring me when try to talk to them.
Michelle Currie @mshlcurrie
#hitsm Michelle here, finally have a Friday to breathe. I'm so excited to be here!! My pet peeve is clients who think they can pay next to nothing for expert informatics consulting.
Joy Rios @askjoyrios
Hi #HITsm peeps. Happy Friday from San Diego. Currently working on a deck to help clinicians finish the year strong with #MIPS. How timely for this chat. :)

T1: What government regulations take up the majority of a healthcare organization’s time? What has you concerned about those regulations? @techguy #HITsm https://t.co/O6lE12F14V
Matt Fisher @Matt_R_Fisher
T1: Don't get the headlines, but general conditions of participation in #Medicare likely take up more time than #HIPAA or fraud and abuse regs. Cover all areas of ops. #HITsm
Brian Mack @BFMack
@HealthcareScene @techguy Hey #HITSM Peeps! I'm Brian, MarComm Dude at @GLHC_HIE in Grand Rapids, MI. My pet peeves include rude people, smoking in public places, and the conspiracy against consumers perpetrated by hot dog producers and hot dog roll bakeries! https://t.co/HakjIIocxZ
Justin Campbell @tjustincampbell
T1: From @jhalamka via @healthsystemcio: @ONC_HealthIT & @CMSGov #HiTech act #MU program: "every stage HAS to escalate, HAS to be harder, more rigorous." Problem with that is clinicians burdened by data entry & admin activities & are burned out; https://t.co/zlmSxagUFz #HITsm
Justin Campbell @tjustincampbell
T1: Last thing we need is another stage of #MU with even more burdened. @ONC_HEalthIT & @CMS replaced #MU with narrowly focused program "The Promoting Interoperability Program" - part of 2600 page rule published a few weeks ago. @jhalamka summarizes in two slides: #HITsm https://t.co/XFj6ip609L
Justin Campbell @tjustincampbell
T1: Draft #TEFCA guidance contains policies, procedures, & technical standards that @HHSCTO @HHSGov views as on-ramp to #interoperability; Expected to bridge gap between providers’ & patients’ #HIS & enable interoperability across disparate #HIN. https://t.co/Hbe78hLklt #HITsm

@BFMack @HealthcareScene @techguy @GLHC_HIE The dude abides #HITsm. Smoking in public places = "Mark it a zero!!!!"
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO
While not technically directly due to government regulation, the hoops healthcare organizations have to go through to get paid are at least partly due to governmental policies. #HITsm

Hello everyone, Ashley here from the marketing side of the house. I’m going to be lurking and learning during today’s #HITsm chat. One of my biggest pet peeves is sleeping with the TV on.
Brian Mack @BFMack
@askjoyrios Hey Joy! Are your ears burning? You and @HITLikeAGirlPod came up in conversation among my female colleagues yesterday! I of course was quick to say, "Hey! I know Joy!" #HITSM
Matt Fisher @Matt_R_Fisher
@tjustincampbell @HHSCTO @HHSGov The issues that you're pointing certainly underscore the difficulty of trying to regulate details, but be broad enough to cover the whole country. #HITsm
Michelle Currie @mshlcurrie
#hitsm I am encouraged by CMSs efforts to reduce and streamline quality reporting through programs like these! https://t.co/tP6HmSdaNz

Ashley Dauwer @amariedauwer
@BFMack @HealthcareScene @techguy @GLHC_HIE People smoking in public places while holding their children hands drives me insane! #HITsm
Jared Jeffery @Jk_Jeffery
@tjustincampbell @BFMack @HealthcareScene @techguy @GLHC_HIE Oh man. I was hiking a trail to a waterfall the other day. Surrounding by wonderful nature. Fresh air, sunshine, birds chirping.... aaaand 2 yahoos smoking the entire way up the trail. (So much for the fresh air...) #HITsm
Justin Campbell @tjustincampbell
@wareFLO Mission accomplished though? Got providers to use #EMR? Albeit the end solution they are using is questionable at best #workflow #digitizationOfBadProcess #HITsm
Jared Jeffery @Jk_Jeffery
@BFMack @askjoyrios @hitlikeagirlpod Has anyone commented on how clever @hitlikeagirlpod is for a Podcast name, btw? It's great. I love it. #HITsm
Matt Fisher @Matt_R_Fisher
Another way regulations take up time is rushing into an activity without understanding the regs. If have to redo work, then adds unnecessary time and cost. #HITsm
Kez! @denniskenez
@wareFLO #HITsm you mean like this Chuck? https://t.co/tZjBGzclqZ

Hello #HITsm Colin from Toronto. Joining in the chat for a little bit.
Brian Mack @BFMack
T1: The selection is so abundant it's hard to just pick one... THAT, in effect, is the problem. Healthcare pros are constantly assaulted by ever-changing reg requirements from the HITECH to the ACA, to MU, to MACRA/MIPS, and now TEFCA... Sheesh! #HITSM https://t.co/ckSZsZnP8N

@tjustincampbell @wareFLO It's true, they did go digital. But the arguement could be made that digital was going to come anyway, and - had it come organically - would have been much, much better. #HITsm

T2: How are MACRA and MIPS impacting your organization? What are you doing to make sure you’re compliant? @techguy #HITsm https://t.co/gAaVQo1gaN
Brian Mack @BFMack
T1: From the Provider's perspective, what we here pretty consistently is that all of these requirements suck up massive amounts of time and energy that takes away from the focus on the patient and actual care delivery. #HITSM
Ashley Dauwer @amariedauwer
@Jk_Jeffery @tjustincampbell @wareFLO I go both ways with this. While I agree that I think it was a good push, and a push that was needed, there was so much focus on the minute details that it left little room for innovation. #HITsm (I guess I lied when I said I was just going to be lurking)
Justin Campbell @tjustincampbell
@Jk_Jeffery @wareFLO That's why why have initiatives like @KLASresearch #ArchCollaborative to crowd-source the most efficient and effective #EHR #workflows. Telemetry data is a powerful thing. #PhysicianBurnout #HITsm
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO
Seen at least two studies that considered what would have happened if the meaningful use EHR program never existed. Both agreed. Would have gotten to widespread use of more usable EHRs 3-4 years later than we got to current relatviely unusable EHRs. #HITsm
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO
Ha! #HITsm
Colin Hung @Colin_Hung
@Jk_Jeffery @tjustincampbell @wareFLO It's an interesting debate because I agree that the tools would have likely been better if organically left to evolve BUT I wonder if adoption would still have been like molasses. Just look at LTPAC (no incentives) which is still has relatively low EHR adoption #HITsm
Ashley Dauwer @amariedauwer
@askjoyrios @Jk_Jeffery @BFMack @hitlikeagirlpod Yes! I couldn't agree more - it's amazing! #HITlikeagirlpod 👊🏽 #HITsm

Joy Rios @askjoyrios
@BFMack We often joke that the government is already writing new regulations before the ink is dry on the old ones. It's enough to make your head spin. #HITsm
Colin Hung @Colin_Hung
@BFMack T1 Wait you mean MIPS reporting doesn't enhance patient care? <sarcastic voice> #HITsm
Justin Campbell @tjustincampbell
@amariedauwer @Jk_Jeffery @wareFLO Good point @amariedauwer. I didn't offer a pet peeve in the beginning, so I'll offer what annoyed me the most about #MU. No incentive put in place for #interoperability. And now we are left with a collection of data silos https://t.co/9ACFE0j879 #HITsm
Jared Jeffery @Jk_Jeffery
@amariedauwer @tjustincampbell @wareFLO I wish we'd seen more standard-setting in terms of connection. Love @Bob_Wachter's analogy in #DigitalDoctor. AUS has different sized railroad tracks. Everyone swaps trains mid-trip because of it. AUS needed a standard "sandbox" to play in. HIT could use it too! #HITsm #FHIR?
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO
And guess what? I've heard what they do have in place more naturually fits LTPAC workflow (wrote a post about this, see if I can find) #HITsm

Jared Jeffery @Jk_Jeffery
@Colin_Hung @tjustincampbell @wareFLO Behavioral health is the same way. Looking at the current BH market is like looking at Acute care 10 years ago. Many cite that they just don't have the funds to install a proper BH EHR. (Many may argue back that EHRs are artificially costly RE: influx of govt $) #HITsm

For-profit consulting initiatives grading EHRs have their own "regulatory capture"-like problems (scoring schemes tend to reflect what while make the consulting outfit the most money, and that allows old-guard vendors undue influence) #HITsm
Ashley Dauwer @amariedauwer
@Jk_Jeffery @tjustincampbell @wareFLO @Bob_Wachter Yes, I agree. There are so many one-offs in this regard but I do think we're slowly in the right direction with CommonWell, Carequality and now APIs #HITsm

@Matt_R_Fisher Hi Matt! I know exactly what you are talking about. #HItsm
Brian Mack @BFMack
@tjustincampbell @amariedauwer @Jk_Jeffery @wareFLO The number of gaps in MU are enough to drive a fleet of trucks through! How about excluding LTPAC providers from MU incentives & penalties?!? HELLO!!! Which segment of the delivery continuum generates the largest percentage of expense?!? #SMH #HITSM
Colin Hung @Colin_Hung
@wareFLO Totally agree that their EHRs are more adapted to their environments and their workflows BUT adoption has been much slower than anticipated. #HITsm
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO
Been on both sides of this, scoring our own software against list of features and functionality, as well as having created such lists for comparing EHR workflow capability #HITsm
Jared Jeffery @Jk_Jeffery
@amariedauwer @tjustincampbell @wareFLO @Bob_Wachter Thankfully yes! I heard a few veteran providers chatting the other day, "#Interoperability has been 5 years away for the last 15 years." But (I'm hopeful) that we're ACTUALLY getting closer now. #HITsm
Matt Fisher @Matt_R_Fisher
@BFMack @tjustincampbell @amariedauwer @Jk_Jeffery @wareFLO To some degree, IMO, the issue there is that hospitals and physicians have biggest public profile. SNFs, LTPAC, others don't show up in the news, unless it's bad news. #hitsm

@Jk_Jeffery @tjustincampbell @wareFLO YES! So while I think we all agree the incentive program could have been better. The main goal of getting everyone digital was mostly achieved. Now we can wrestle with #interop #usability, etc. In a strange way maybe it's a good problem? #HITsm

T3: What regulations do you think will be changed soon or which regulations would you like to see changed/updated? @techguy #HITsm https://t.co/aKxBaWuEmu
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO
The problems with meaningful use were not fixable. It was the entire concept that was flawed. #HITsm
Justin Campbell @tjustincampbell
@Colin_Hung @wareFLO And I think its why @jhalamka pointed out that @CMSGov & @ONC_HealthIT are narrowing the program. Adoption has caused #Burnout. An #EHR that was deployed in a rush to meet #MU incentives is a glorified billing system and likely doesn't leverage capabilities like #CDS #HITsm
Colin Hung @Colin_Hung
@GraceCordovano @amariedauwer @techguy My FOMO is getting better. But I am a bit under the weather this week. So much fun to see all the pics and tweets from #MDCIO2018 #Connect2Health #SPM2018 this week. #HITsm

Matt Fisher @Matt_R_Fisher
T3: The question seems to suggest that regulations healthcare aren't updated all of the time. Fee schedule result in tweaks every year, which can make it hard to follow and stay up to date. #HITsm
Brian Mack @BFMack
@Matt_R_Fisher @tjustincampbell @amariedauwer @Jk_Jeffery @wareFLO Couldn't agree more Matt. It also reflects a huge lack of understanding by legislators in Washington DC. Back in 2010 I heard LOTS of assumptions that the regs would trickle down from Acute care to the rest of the continuum...NOT! #HITSM

And while some of the #EHR giants are there, it takes quite a bit of lifting to get a traditional EHR to align with unique BH workflows. #GroupTherapy isn't exactly something a PCP does. #HITsm

T4 Personally, I've been asking a lot of people questions about value-based care at all the conferences I go to. It really helps to get a more grounded look at this shift vs what gets written about. The good news is that there is a lot of activity. #HITsm
Matt Fisher @Matt_R_Fisher
@BFMack @HealthcareScene @techguy Unfortunately at #ValueBased2018 yesterday, heard comment about legal blocking developments. To me, that means not getting good advice. Lawyer should help find way to get business idea done, if possible. #HITsm

IMO I'm not a touchy-feely person, so I was sort of gobsmacked by some of the intimate details folks often share in #socialVR (b/c participation is anonymous). Only thing I could figure out to do was fall back on those group therapy moderator reflexes! #HITsm

Brian Mack @BFMack
T4: (2 of 2) On the negative side, I know that there are independent practices here in MI (even ones who have created their own networks) who are still running as hard as possible to assure sufficient revenue to cover costs... It seems to be VERY uneven. #HITSM

I'm really interested to see how healthcare organizations are going to react to the changes to E&M coding. Will they use it? What will be the impact? Will commercial payers follow suit? #HITsm

Matt Fisher @Matt_R_Fisher
@BFMack Having to wait is a broad issue. Starts with not giving physicians enough time to see patients, then snowballs when patient there and wants discuss many issues beyond "purpose" for appt. #HITsm

T5: From an #HIE perspective, the challenge we see most is not regs put upon https://t.co/o20PEt1YhI's that payers largely remain behind the curve in engaging real-time data to outcomes. Either that, or they are lobbying the state to make it HARDER to share data! #HITSM https://t.co/SUWwPpFlPB

Bonus: I'd love to see a regulation that says you can't use HIPAA as the excuse not to share data with patients. #wishfulthinking #HITsm
