  • Population Health and Analytics at IHS: a Strategic Plan Indian Health Service
    Population Health and Analytics at IHS: A Strategic Plan Indian Health Service Setting & Background Lead Organization: Indian Health Service (IHS) provides care to members of 566 federally recognized Tribes, representing 2.2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives. Tribal, urban, and IHS facilities provide approximately 44,677 inpatient admissions and 13,180,745 outpatient visits each year. IHS has 12 area offices and 170 IHS and tribally managed service units. Thirty-three (33) urban programs provide services ranging from community health to comprehensive primary care. Key Partners • Tribal leaders/communities • Tribal health care workers (including community health representatives) • Providers • Patients Health Care System Structure: National network of facilities; over 50% of facilities are tribally operated. Target Population: Members of 567 federally recognized Tribes representing 2.2 million American Indians/Alaska Natives in the United States. EHR Platform: IHS uses a federally developed and supported EHR that is based on the VistA (Veterans Administration) system. The EHR is the graphical user interface (GUI) to the IHS Resource and Patient Management System (RPMS), a set of software applications that integrates patient-related information into one comprehensive, centralized database for user-friendly viewing. Population Management Systems: IHS’ population health management activities (Table 1) are facilitated by iCare, a population management software tool that interfaces with the IHS EHR/RPMS database to provide a comprehensive view of patient and population information. iCare was initially deployed in 2005 and subsequent releases have provided enhanced population health functionality. iCare allows providers to create multiple panels of patients with common characteristics (e.g., age, diagnosis, community) and to personalize how they view patient data within a graphical user interface.
