According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, deaths from drug overdoses in the U.S. totaled more than 63,600 in 2016, with 42,249 of those deaths attributed to opioids. In 2016, Pennsylvania had the fourth highest opioid overdose death rate in the nation. Within the state, many of counties with the highest death rates were served by Geisinger Health System. Geisinger, recognized as an innovator in the use of EHRs and care delivery models, determined that the health system had an opportunity to reverse these trends. Geisinger developed and initiated several approaches that focused on changing physician practice patterns to reduce the prescribing of opioids. In addition, the health system encouraged physicians to follow pain management strategies that minimized or eliminated to use of opioids. They also enabled electronic prescribing for controlled substances. After launching these initiatives, Geisinger reduced prescriptions for opioids by about half. They also reported e-prescribing for controlled substances created $1 million in savings within five months due to greater efficiencies.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn how to use your EHR and clinical order entry systems to identify current practice patterns among providers and track changes over time. (Geisinger uses a provider dashboard which is produced by their analytics platform.)

2. Develop pain management strategies that encourage approaches other than potentially addictive opioids

3. Discuss the benefits and challenges of rolling out electronic prescribing for controlled substances across a health system

Clinician satisfaction with EHRs is a topic of regular discussion in health systems across the United States and internationally. Some of the dialogue, at least in the press, would suggest significant levels of clinician despair. So, the question we have indirectly asked in a collaborative setting, is "is there hope?" Has anyone found success in driving effective use and satisfaction o their EHR? If so, can those "best practices" be shared by and used to help others. With over 30,000 end-user responses and nearly 100 organizations participating, we are convinced that, indeed, there is hope. Join us to learn collaborative findings and how those findings are helping one organization improve their end-user clinician experience.

This webinar analyzes key challenges and assumptions that prevent ACOs and CINs from delivering on their promise. It also covers strategies and swift actions that can help boost network performance, manage contracts more efficiently, close gaps-in-care, prove goal attainment and demonstrate strong value to providers, year after year. ​

1. ​Recognize the missing strategies that are key to high performing networks
2. Identify common barriers to delivering on CIN/ACO promises
3. ​Have an actionable list of immediate steps to begin building more mature negotiations for contracts and getting more lucrative returns​
