What is PennPathways?
‣
Evidence-based clinical pathways, developed /
approved by Penn Medicine clinicians, for use
specifically in the Penn Medicine environment
•
10 step framework for developing/disseminating
pathways
•
~400 pathways to date
‣
Mission is to lead the integration of best
evidence into decision making to strengthen the
quality, safety, and value of care.
•
Also focus on clinician usability of clinical
pathways and PennChart decision support hooks.

•
Penn must have a solution to house our
existing industry leading PennPathways and enable PennChart
integration
Note: this is different from Epic Care Pathways and Epic Pathways.
‣
CEP conducted a vendor evaluation ~2019
‣
2020/2021:
Kevin Mahoney asked Bill Hanson / CMIO group to review AgileMD

Other changes to pathways
•
View all pathways from within PennChart (August)
•
Ability to define triggers for pathway
recommendation, based on patient data (when
viewing from PennChart)
•
Enhanced analytics capabilities for QI and process
improvement work
•
Ability to embed other important operational
guidance directly in the pathway
•
CEP evidence reports
•
Calculators
•
Other related pathways
•
Commonly used/needed contact information,
phone numbers
Now two options
for structuring
pathway content
1.
Standard flowchart / pathway
Other changes to pathways
2.

Examples
‣
Report on pathway users by entity,
department
‣
Reports on proportion of orders placed
from the pathway vs. other means
•
By pathway
•
By entity
•
By department
•
By user
‣
Proportion of patients where pre-defined
pathway milestones achieved
Detailed analytics will be available for
pathways used from within PennChart

Deep integration
of pathways in PennChart – Overview of new features
PennPathways 2.0 to support new needs and
increased demand
‣
Focus on support for
alliance, committee, disease
team requests (
consensus building and
stakeholder management
)
•
Assumptions:
–
Problem definition and scoping; inclusion, exclusion criteria; identify evidence-basis; develop a draft algorithm and
achieve consensus.
–
Deliverable: evidence-based algorithm with sign off by stakeholders
‣
Priority for request that can be deeply integrated into PennChart (
can and will be implementable
)
‣
Robust analysis of impact
•
Assumptions:
–
4 months post intervention data
–
Analytics support from Penn DnA

Why AgileMD? Contract ending with Dorsata Penn must have a solution to house our existing industry leading PennPathways and enable PennChart integration Note: this is different from Epic Care Pathways and Epic Pathways. CEP conducted a vendor evaluation ~2019 AgileMD Key player in pathway-EMR integration space Proven track record with Epic Clients (App Orchard availability) NOT a start up (11 years old) Due diligence with existing AgileMD customers AgileMD eager to work with Penn, offering great support and guidance 2020/2021: Kevin Mahoney asked Bill Hanson / CMIO group to review AgileMD 3
AgileMD is used by many similar health systems This tool can be used by ALL members of the healthcare team Nurses, pharmacists, PT/OT, RT Physicians, Advanced practice providers 700+ pathways In inpatient and outpatient settings 300+ pathways 4 Slides used with Permission from AgileMD CEO, Borna Safabakhsh
