CALLING ON AT&T AT&T HAS PARTNERED with Baylor Health Care System to unite a far-reaching health care network of 4,000 providers and more than 250 patient access points with one central platform. The AT&T Healthcare Community Online focuses on eliminating unnecessary administrative work and improving the quality of health care by linking physicians across distance and medical fields. Not only will Baylor Health Care physi- cians have access to every patient record in the Texas system, but providers will also have communication, evidence-based analysis and practice management functions on hand in their offices. Taking the online community one step further, a relationship with the American Emerging Healthcare Practices, "Moving Ahead With Stage 2 of Meaningful Use," notes that 62% of eligible hospitals that attested to Stage 1 of meaningful use in 2011 deferred the menu objective of utilizing EHRs to identify and provide patient-specific educational resources. This measure is part of the mandatory core objectives for attesting to Stage 2 meaningful use, and will likely reappear as part of Stage 3 measures. Another Stage 1 optional criterion, medication reconciliation, is a requirement of Stage 2 meaningful use. Medical Association (AMA) has resulted in the launch of a combined care management platform consisting of the AMA's AMAGINE physician portal and the AT&T Healthcare Community Online. AMAGINE offers physicians a Web-based home for health informa- tion technology products related to clinical decision support, e-prescribing, patient registries and revenue cycle management, while the AT&T vehicle supplies additional infrastructure support. The dual platform enhances the environment for collaborative care and physicians' ability to apply meaningful use principles to their daily practices. "Stage 1 of meaningful use was mostly about setting the bare minimum EHR functional requirements and pegging a 'floor' for data capture; it had many required elements and a few optional elements for care providers to utilize," says Shah. "The proposed Stage 2 criteria is primarily focused on increasing structured electronic capture of health information and fostering data exchange at points of care transition by turning most of the optional items from Stage 1 into required elements." s onc-chpl.force.com/ehrcert.
