Patient care today is disjointed, and most collaborators don't know what they are doing for a patient in real-time. Keeping track of the patient's entire care team (providers, payers, family members, etc.) as well as coordinating and integrating their electronic activities is what successful EHRs will need to handle with ease as they move from retrospective documentation to modern patient collaboration platforms. As of today, EHR apps are usually restricted to "legal entities" (e.g., a single hospital or hospital system or a single practice). To provide integrated and coordinated health care, EHR systems must open themselves up to outside boundaries, but few have done so.
This is due to a lack of understanding that tomorrow's shared savings programs, capitated payment models, ACOs, and PCHMs would need a level of coordination and quantity of quality metrics measurements that are difficult to establish, implement, and secure. Future EHRs must be viewed as comprehensive care coordination platforms with dynamic economic models that can handle a significant deal of volatility and flexibility, particularly in terms of legal boundaries. When working with the uncertainty of multi-organizational partnerships and user communities, application designs and data models must enable more fluid processes that can change daily or weekly based on the demands of new players.
Data modeling is not merely a technical exercise, which is what leads to bad designs that don't embrace next-generation business models, according to the healthcare IT application development community. A group of engineers and other nerds sitting around a table cannot define a data model. Understanding all of the data's applications, the relationships and attributes involved in the data, and, most crucially, how the data management strategy will grow and change in the future are all part of data modeling. When most systems are designed, the last part (database extensibility) is frequently overlooked. All of this necessitates direct contact with end-users, stakeholders, and other non-technical individuals. Too often, databases are considered like a filing cabinet: just throw anything you need in there and deal with the organization afterward. That will not be conceivable in the emerging world of ACOs and PCMH.
