Accessing Data for QI

As adoption of EHRs has increased, so have the concerns about ability to access the data needed to drill down into quality improvement efforts or even reporting requirements. Depending on the type of system being used, data may be cloud based, on a remote server, or on a local server. Further, data may be accessible through preprogrammed, ad hoc, or custom reports, but there may be greater challenges to accessing raw data or data that can be analyzed for quality improvement purposes. Resources in this section address these challenges and provide actionable information for accessing the data needed.

SAMHSA 42 CFR Part 2 Revised Rule

New guidelines from SAMHSA released in July 2020 are designed to improve coordination of care for patients in treatment for substance disorder, while protecting confidentiality against unauthorized disclosure and use of patient information. View this HITEQ webinar on changes to SAMHSA’s 42 CFR Part 2 rule (Part 2) which protects individuals receiving substance use disorder treatment by defining privacy and security requirements for written, electronic and verbal information. This webinar features expert presenters from the University of New Hampshire Institute for Health Policy and Practice and the Center of Excellence for Protected Health Information who present on the new final Part 2 rule and future changes in the CARES Act, including what has changed, what has not changed, what this means for health centers in regard to consents and disclosures, and the implications for care coordination. This presentation also addresses privacy considerations for tele-behavioral health and exceptions during the state of emergency waiver.

Applying a Decision Making Support Tool for HIV Care in the Primary Care Setting

In this live, 60-minute webinar, expert faculty will demonstrate the use of HIV-ASSIST when making evidence-based ART decisions and will apply the tool to case discussions focused on applicability in primary care settings. 

The goal of this activity is to provide practical tools to improve the competence of primary care providers and other nonspecialists as well as global specialist healthcare professionals in making evidence-based ART decisions by increasing awareness and use of HIV-ASSIST. 

After this webinar, the participant should be better able to: 

  • Confidently make use of the HIV-ASSIST tool based on a solid understanding of its functionality and the data that validate its effectiveness in HIV decision support. 
  • Integrate HIV-ASSIST into the clinical workflow when selecting antiretroviral regimens for previously untreated patient cases; and 
  • Select evidence-based new ART regimens for patients with stable virologic suppression and those with virologic failure through appropriate use of HIV-ASSIST.
