3) Major changes coming in 2014 include the establishment of health insurance exchanges, an individual mandate, employer penalties, and Medicaid expansion.
4) Compliance priorities for employers include reporting requirements, taxes/fees, and preparing for the potential impacts of 2014 reforms.
This report analyzes California's CalVet Home Loans Program, which provides home loans to eligible veterans. It finds that the program's target population of veterans under 55 years old who rent is less than 18% of California's total veteran population. The program currently serves about 2% of veterans and cost $10 million in 2012-2013. While the program poses little risk of default, it does not clearly serve a special needs group. Demand for the program is unclear given many veterans already own homes. The report recommends CalVet seek new strategies to increase services beyond its current small portfolio by marketing to its underutilized target population.

It raises questions around why advertising agencies traditionally win these awards and whether it is fair, how PR agencies can win, how to get on the judging panels, what associations can do to help, if it is worthwhile for PR professionals, and if clients truly care about awards.
India is a large, diverse country with an ancient civilization but is also the world's youngest nation. It faces challenges like rapid economic growth alongside crumbling infrastructure and achieving democracy amidst complexity and chaos. The public relations industry in India is also complex, with digital media growing alongside sustained print media. While the perception of Indian public relations exceeds reality, the industry is consolidating which may allow the "peacock to fly" in the future.

David Riley is the CONNECT initiative lead for the Federal Health Architecture (FHA) Program in the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONCHIT). This is his presentation from OSCON.
This document discusses the role of open source software in connecting the public and private healthcare sectors through health information exchange. It provides background on the current fragmented US healthcare system and goals of increased electronic health record adoption and interoperability. The document describes how the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is investing in health IT and focuses on the CONNECT open source software project, which allows different organizations to securely exchange health data through a common standards-based platform. It provides examples of early adopters from both public and private sectors and outlines planning considerations for new implementations.
The document summarizes the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which allocated $19 billion to promote health information technology. It provides incentives for healthcare providers to adopt electronic health records to improve care quality. The funding supports things like standards development, regional health information exchanges, and incentive payments for doctors and hospitals that show meaningful use of certified electronic health records between 2011-2015. Adopting electronic health records now allows providers to take advantage of these significant federal incentives and avoid penalties for non-compliance later.

It notes that in 2004, the president issued an order calling for most Americans to have EHRs within 10 years. It then outlines initiatives by various federal agencies like the VA, DOD, IHS to implement EHR systems. It also discusses public-private partnerships and grants provided by agencies like AHRQ and CMS to support EHR adoption and health information exchange, especially in small and rural settings.
The document discusses efforts in the United States to implement electronic health records (EHRs) across the healthcare system from 2004 onward. It outlines initiatives by the federal government including an executive order to put EHRs in place for most Americans within 10 years. It describes programs at agencies like the VA, DOD, IHS to adopt and customize EHR systems. Federal agencies are also working on standards, incentives for adoption, and a national health information network to facilitate data sharing and interoperability between systems. Public-private partnerships are further addressing issues around HIT connectivity and standards.
This document discusses how cloud computing technologies can be applied to electronic health records (EHRs). It provides background on government programs and regulations driving healthcare organizations to adopt digital health records, such as the HITECH Act and its "meaningful use" incentives. Both opportunities and challenges of cloud-based EHR systems are examined, including concerns around data privacy, security, and vendor lock-in. Examples of EHR vendors offering cloud-based solutions are also presented. The summary concludes that healthcare organizations should carefully consider how cloud technologies can help meet regulatory requirements while addressing the unique security and other needs of digital health information.

21. Summary
The Core CS-HIE Services are intended to provide
A trust infrastructure in which parties can determine the authenticity of HIE
transactions that they receive from arbitrary counterparties
A directory infrastructure in which parties can determine where and how to direct
HIE transactions intended for specific recipients via the internet
Much technical and policy work remains to flesh out the design of these services
Define the policies surrounding the HIE certificate authority and the granting of
Entity Registry entries
Define the technical design of Entity Registry entries and Provider Directory entries
Define the technical design of authentication and authorization assertions
Functions not addressed in current architecture:
Master Patient Index
Record Locator Service
Patient Consent Registry
Why not?
Vexing technical, business and privacy issues
Not needed for majority of Stage 1 meaningful use functions

23. Whats in it (potentially for Health IT)
Grants for long-term care facilities for EHRs:
Nationally, only $67.5 million over four years
Insurance Exchange
Enrollment modernization and administrative simplification
Accountable Care Organizations
Primary Care Extension Programs

24. Why we need to understand Medical Loss
Ratios
What is it?
The proportion of premium dollars that must be spent on
medical care
Why its important in HCR:
Requires plans in the individual and small group market to spend 80 percent of
premium dollars on medical services, and plans in the large group market to spend
85 percent. Insurers that do not meet these thresholds must provide rebates to
policyholders. Effective on January 1, 2011.
Implications:
If health IT is considered an administrative expense, the
incentives for plans is to reduce this expense
Secretary Sebelius has the authority to make the
determination if HIT is an administrative or clinical expense
24
25. And why 2011 will be a watershed year
HITECH:
First checks for incentive programs will issued
Health Reform:
7.3 million CA residents who do not currently have
insurance could begin to get affordable coverage
HIPAA 5010 transactions required by January 1, 2011
Prerequisite for ICD-10; required by October 2013 for
payment!

27. Two issues to consider for Advocacy Day
1. Ensure that we meet our timelines here in the State
Appropriate funding for HIE as quickly as possible, dont
let it get caught up in budget delays
2. Health Reform:
Ensure the Health IT is not incorporated into
administrative overhead in the medical loss ratio
calculation
