No other UMG employees are to be contacted regarding this RFP without prior approval. Failure to comply with this and any other guidelines in the RFP may disqualify the contractor from the process. (HIMSS, 2011) 2.0 Introduction and Overview 2.1 Project Title This RFP is for a Document Management System, also referred to as the DMS, DM system or the Project, for the University Medical Group (UMG).

2.2 Background UMG is a physicians practice comprised of 150 physicians across 20 specialties. UMG physicians are on the staff of University Medical Hospital, serving patients across the greater Chicago area. Specifically, UMG maintains: One main facility (located on the campus of University Hospital), housing 80 physicians, including 68 specialists and 12 primary care physicians (PCPs). Ten other office locations across the Chicago area, each of which houses between five and eight physicians. There are 50 PCPs located across these clinics as well as 20 specialists. An offsite paper records storage facility managed by a 3rd party, Iron Mountain, for all paper records five years old. Iron Mountain provider shreds all records 10 years old.

At UMG our Mission is to deliver the highest quality of care to the communities in which we operate. We seek to improve both patient outcomes and patient satisfaction in a cost effective manner, and leverage our relationship with University Hospital to bring the latest advances in medical research to the patients we serve.

In 2010, UMG implemented Epic, an electronic medical records (EMR) system, and has successfully deployed computerized physicians order entry (CPOE), clinical documentation, and clinical decision support modules. Any system proposed to UMG must be compatible with and integrate into the currently installed Epic environment.

While successful in the implementation of its EMR system, UMG is still challenged with the ongoing presence of paper documents in its workflow. Since the implementation of the Epic system in 2010, standard practice has been to capture all patient information using the clinical

documentation features of the system. However, historical paper charts are still kept in each facility. Physicians perpetuate the paper form factor when they request that information from the EMR be printed out; they then update that information on paper to be included in the chart.

As a result of this dual workflow, UMG has not realized the full benefits from its investment in an EMR, and must also maintain a large medical records department (both in terms of personnel and space) in several locations. Added to this cost is the contract in place (expiring at end of 2012) with Iron Mountain to store/shred records five years old in accordance with Illinois guidelines and UMGs policies. UMG staff is often required to travel back and forth to retrieve documents from Iron Mountains facility, located one hour from downtown Chicago.

UMG is seeking to eliminate the paper chart and reduce related costs through the electronic capture, storage, and viewing of longitudinal patient data in the EMR system. The ideal system will also integrate and coordinate overall records retention schedules (both paper and electronic, onsite and offsite), and provide document status (e.g. offsite, being scanned, in record). Timeframe for start of enterprise-wide deployment of a document management system is July 2012, with completion of roll-out and transition to new workflows/systems complete by December 2012.

The UMG Document Management Project Team reports to a Project Steering Committee comprised of UMGs CEO, CFO, CIO, CMIO, and COO. The Project Management Team is responsible for the RFP process as well as enterprise-wide project implementation. The structure of UMG Project Team is below:

The timeline for evaluation, selection, and final contract negotiation with the selected contractor is as follows: Action RFP document sent to contractors Contractor to provide Letter of Intent (LOI) to respond to RFP (see Appendix A for LOI template) Questions regarding RFP due back to UMG DMS Project Manager Conference call with all contractors to answer all questions submitted. RFP response deadline. Contractor presentations, including system demonstrations and site visits. Complete reference checks. Vendor selection, contract negotiations. 2.3 Objectives The key objective of the Project is to establish a common digital repository comprised of all patient data that will be shared, accessed, and updated across all UMG locations. This requires not only that historical paper-based documents be digitized, tagged, and included in individual patient records, but that a system and set of processes be put into place to enable on-going, real time capture of information during patient visits. Other objectives of the Project include: Improving patient care through enabling clinicians real time access to a patients longitudinal record during the patient visit. The EMR will contain adequate historical data for the clinicians to provide safe care for their patients, and patients will be satisfied that their physician has appropriate information in the EMR for their care. Leveraging the investment already made in our existing EMR to include the full patient record, including paper input provided from third party providers (e.g. lab results, physicians outside the UMG practice). Any proposed system or process must be fully compatible and integrated with the current Epic EMR system. Date 11/1/11 11/8/11 11/14/11 11/15/11 12/5/11 1/6/12 thru 2/1/12 1/6/12 thru 2/1/12 2/1/12 thru 3/1/12

Facilitating physician acceptance of a fully electronic environment through improvement of physician workflows/schedules. This should in turn increase the practice capacity for seeing additional patients.

Decreasing patient wait times and increasing patient satisfaction due to elimination of patient interview forms each time a visit is made.

Complying with Meaningful Use guidelines in order to be eligible for Federal and State subsidies for EMR implementation, as well as to continue to be eligible for full reimbursement rates for Medicare/Medicaid patients post-2014 (deadline for implementing an EMR system).

Reducing the amount of space being consumed by paper chart storage in each facility, which in turn should enable consolidation of physician practice offices.

Reducing the number of clerical staff currently focused on managing paper charts. Reducing and ultimately eliminating the cost for Iron Mountain, as well as eliminate time/delays spent/incurred by UMG staff retrieving records from that facility.

Better compliance with the State of Illinois record retention policies.

3.0 Key Assumptions UMG has an overall patient population of 332,800. Of that number, 280,000 are served by the primary care practices, and the balance of 52,800 patients are served by UMGs specialty practices. Within the total patient population: 50% of are current, meaning they have visited a UMG clinic > 1x in each of the past two years. 30% are active patients, meaning they have visited a UHG practice 1x/year over the past two years. 20% are inactive, meaning that they have not been to a UMG clinic in >2 years.

UMG requires that the paper records be digitized and tagged with specific metadata in a phased approach. Resultant image files must be attached to and travel along with the electronic patient record enabling a clinician to open and view those files at anytime within the existing Epic EMR interface. OCR scanning and population of all fields of the record within the EMR is not required. Prioritization for record digitization is as follows: Current patients who have visited a UMG clinic > 1x in each of the past two years. Active patients who visit a UMG clinic at least 1x/year over the past two years. New patients providing documents from other providers. Physician to approve and initial which documents within the supplied paper chart needs to be digitized. On an as-needed basis (one week turnaround time) for inactive patients who have not been to a UMG clinic in the past 2 years, but have an upcoming appointment. Inactive patient records will otherwise not be digitized. Each paper chart is comprised of an average of 10 pages/document. Documents include patient medication/allergy records and problem lists, immunization records, last available radiology reports, laboratory, and cardiac diagnostic test reports, hospital discharge summaries, annual physical exam progress notes and consultation reports. The paper charts all have a patient summary sheet. Based on all above, the following chart provides an estimate of required volume of paper to be scanned: Current Patient Documents 1,664,000 Active Patient Documents 998,400 Inactive Patient Documents 665,600

UMG will maintain a small scanning operation in a centralized location to accommodate any on-going digitization requirements for new information. Physicians will be required to initial any paper documents provided to them by new patients prior to being scanned at the central location.

With respect to document scanning: If providing document scanning services, either on- or offsite, contractor (as a covered entity) certifies that processes and procedures are in place to protect personal health information (PHI) based on HIPAA requirements. Contractor indemnifies UMG from any liability that results from a breach related to PHI. All document handling/scanning work will be done in the United States. Some document scanning capabilities will be required in all clinics initially, with volumes decreasing until only new patient-supplied documents will need to be scanned at individual sites. The project team will provide contractor samples of documents that are representative of the quality of the input. Contractor will provide scans at various resolutions, and project team and CMIO will approve standard resolution requirement. As the largest provider of physician services to University Hospital, UMG has arranged with University administration to have a scanner in the hospital HIM department set up for scanning of hospital discharge summaries and other appropriate documents for upload into the UMG EMR. Once scanned, documents will be stored at UMGs 3rd party storage facility, and shredded in accordance with mandated guidelines.

IT Infrastructure requirements and network diagram can be found in Section 5.0 and Appendix C.

Billing and coding departments may be required to deploy the new document management system if needed.

Contractor will be responsible for training all staff members at UMG in the processes for scanning, storing, and retrieving documents from the Document Management System.

Contractor will be paid based on acceptance criteria for each project deliverable. UMG reserves the right to stop/start/discontinue the project based on contractor performance against deliverables/schedule as detailed in Section XXX.

4.0 Scope of Work The contractor will deliver a document management system that will act as a shared repository for patient information across the UMG enterprise. The system must be compatible and integrated into the current Epic EMR system. In addition to the system, the contractor should propose a process for digitizing the documents identified by UMG at each location, as well as a process for on-going ingestion of paper-based documents. 4.1 Inclusions Tasks Process map of the current as is workflow for paper documents in each location, including number of FTEs required to maintain paper charts.
