As a not-for-profit medical group supporting Eastern Virginia Medical School, the full-time faculty
members who constitute EVMS Health Services have dedicated their efforts to providing patient-centered quality healthcare in all of our endeavors, from our orientation of new employees to our decision in 2003 to invest in the development and implementation of a quality program that included an electronic health record.
Our advancements in electronic health records have moved us closer to full compliance with The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) initiatives to provide reimbursement incentives for successful providers as “meaningful users” of certified electronic health record (EHR) technology and for achieving quality indicators as well as electronic prescribing. We have passed the first portion of the CMS registration process toward becoming a qualified registrant of the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI), and most of our providers are full participants of e-prescribe.
We have also established an EVMS Health Services Quality Committee, which meets on a regular basis,

A Letter from EVMS Health Services Executive Committeewith faculty and staff representation from each department/division. One of the committee’s goals is to be informed and provide feedback with respect to our implementation plan in the areas of meaningful use, PQRI reporting and e-prescribe.
Our specialists know it is an honor and a privilege to serve our referring physicians and pledge to provide timely communication. In an effort to better serve our Virginia Beach and Chesapeake referring physicians and patients, many of our specialists provide services in the Princess Anne area of Virginia Beach, as well as peninsula locations in Newport News and Hampton.
Brief biographies of the physicians who have joined our group from July, 2009 through June, 2010 are found in the following pages.
We are excited about our accomplishments this past year and remain dedicated in our pursuit of recruiting and retaining the best physicians and staff and pursuing the highest quality outcomes of care, while unequivocally insisting on extraordinary patient service and promoting a culture of innovation. n

In 2001, the Institute of Medicine issued the groundbreaking report “Crossing the Quality
Chasm.” The IOM revealed the presence of quality problems affecting patients throughout the health care experience. The Institute of Medicine stated, “Between the health care we have and the care we could have lies not just a gap, but a chasm.” This report ignited our national health care system to improve safety and the quality of care we deliver to our patients.
A number of national efforts are underway to improve the quality of care, particularly for some of the more common chronic diseases. One such effort started by Medicare in 2006 was the voluntary physician quality reporting initiative (PQRI). This program focuses on quality measures developed by organizations such as the AMA physician consortium and the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Physicians who voluntarily report at least three performance measures are rewarded with a 2% payment bonus.
At EVMS Health Services, we examined indicators of our diabetes care by looking at the percent of our patients with poor sugar control (A1C > 9), good cholesterol control (LDL < 100), and good blood pressure control (BP< 140/80). Our measures demonstrated high quality care being delivered to our patients with diabetes mellitus. In 2010, we are expanding the number of quality measures we will report.
such as telephone messages, automatic patient notification of annual reviews and physician-to-physician communication as in our EDC (estimated date of confinement) report that fosters the providers ability to monitor the continuity of care in pregnant patients.
Lastly, the Ameri-can Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides additional incentive bonuses for quality improvement measures. Physicians utilizing an advanced electronic health record in a meaningful way will be eligible for incentive payments beginning in 2011. EVMS Health Services plans to examine the requirements outlined in the stimulus plan and report on how our use of the Enterprise Allscripts electronic health record has led to improvement in the quality of care we deliver.
There are many other quality initiatives on the horizon. More and more insurers are becoming interested in encouraging quality improvement for physicians and hospitals with pay-for- performance programs. We would like to hear from our community partners about their efforts to advance quality initiatives into their practices. Together we can demonstrate continuous quality improvement and transformational change that will advance many of the challenges identified in 2001 by the Institute of Medicine. n
This year we also initiated e-prescribe. This Medi-care-sponsored program encourages physicians to electronically send prescriptions to the pharmacy with the goal of reducing medication errors and adverse drug reactions. Electronic prescriptions provide clear, easy to read orders and automatically check for patient allergies and other drug interactions. Physicians who report a significant number of electronically prescribed medications are also eligible for an additional 2% pay-ment bonus.
We have initiated additional quality performance programs, including electronic reviews of “tasks”
