Achieving Breakthroughs Towards Health Information Exchange 17 th Annual Summer Institute in Nursing Informatics July 20, 2007 Joyce Sensmeier MS, RN-BC, CPHIMS, FHIMSS
Objectives 4 Examine the role of standards in providing a foundation for interoperability 4 Describe the current landscape for health information exchange 4 Explore the potential impact of the HITSP Interoperability Specifications on consumers and healthcare systems Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 1
Globally Recognized Standards: Critical to Improvements in Healthcare Delivery 4 Standards – Establish a common terminology – Facilitate interoperability and integration – Create structured information models for data structure and interchange – Enhance security and privacy Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 2
Standards: Necessary… not Sufficient 4 Standards are: – Foundational - to interoperability and communications – Broad - varying interpretations and implementations – Narrow - may not consider relationships between standards domains – Plentiful - often redundant or disjointed – Focused - standards implementation guides typically focus on a single standard Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 3
What is Interoperability? The ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged. Semantic Interoperability IEEE dictionary Functional Interoperability Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 4
Current Landscape: Disparate vendor systems, applications, and connectivity suites 4 Historically, “unique” market needs within the healthcare community were addressed with customized systems, applications and standards 4 More than a dozen standards-setting organizations – from ANSI-accredited bodies to industry consortia and other forums – have developed a plethora of standards to meet the needs of specific sectors within the healthcare IT market 4 However, the disparate messaging systems, data elements and vocabulary now prevent the crosssystem exchange of health information. Content, structure and transmission methods are all in HITSP scope Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 5
Impact on Healthcare IT 4 Technology trends can no longer develop in a void 4 Systems must connect with each other – Organizational – Local – National – Global 4 Public/Private partnerships needed Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 6
In 2005, HHS awarded contracts to seed a public-private effort to build a nationwide health information network Standards Harmonization Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 7
A public-private “Community” was then established to serve as the focal point for America’s health information concerns and drive opportunities for increasing interoperability The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) The Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC) Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) American Health Information Community Nationwide Health Information Network Architecture Projects (NHIN) Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel HITSP includes 351 different member organizations and is administered by a Board of Directors 24 SDOs (7%) 248 Non-SDOs (71%) 30 Govt. bodies (9%) 13 Consumer groups (3%) 36 Project Team and Undeclared (10%) The Community is a federally-chartered commission and will provide input and recommendations to HHS on how to make health records digital and interoperable, and assure that the privacy and security of those records are protected, in a smooth, market-led way. 8
Presidents Executive Order For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary August 22, 2006 Executive Order: Promoting Quality and Efficient Health Care in Federal Government Administered or Sponsored Health Care Programs Sec. 3. Directives for Agencies shall perform the following functions: Health Information Technology For Federal Agencies. As each agency implements, acquires, or upgrades health information technology systems used for the direct exchange of health information between agencies and with non-Federal entities, it shall utilize, where available, health information technology systems and products that meet recognized interoperability standards. Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 9
What is the Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel? 4 The Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) is a volunteer, consensus-driven organization 4 The Panel brings together experts from across the healthcare community – from consumers to doctors, nurses, and hospitals; from those who develop healthcare IT products to those who use them; and from the government agencies who monitor the U. S. healthcare system to those organizations who are actually writing the standards Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 10

HITSP Standards Harmonization Process Mission: To harmonize relevant standards in the health care industry to enable and advance interoperability The standards harmonization process is an open, inclusive, collaborative, use case driven process www. hitsp. org 1. Identify a pool of standards for a general breakthrough area 2. Identify gaps and overlaps for a specific context 3. Make recommendations to the HITSP for resolution of gaps and overlaps 4. Develop interoperability specifications for using the selected standard for a specific context 5. Test the instruction for using the standard Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 12
What is a Standard? 4 A standard specifies a well defined approach that supports a business process and. . . – has been agreed upon by a group of experts – has been publicly vetted – provides rules, guidelines, or characteristics – helps to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their intended purpose – is available in an accessible format – is subject to ongoing review and revision process 4 Harmonization is required when a proliferation of standards prevents progress rather than enables it HITSP Definition Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 13
HITSP formed Technical Committees to focus on AHIC Current Focus breakthrough areas - Initial focus is on 4 use cases 4 Biosurveillance -- Transmit essential ambulatory care and emergency department visit, utilization, and lab result data from electronically enabled health care delivery and public health systems in standardized anonymized format to authorized public health agencies with less than one day lag time. 4 Consumer Empowerment -- Deploy to targeted populations a pre-populated, consumer-directed and secure electronic registration summary. Deploy a widely available pre-populated medication history linked to the registration summary. 4 Electronic Health Records -- Deploy standardized, widely available, secure solutions for accessing laboratory results and interpretations in a patient-centric manner for clinical care by authorized parties. 4 Emergency Response EHR – Describes the role that an emergency responder electronic health record, comprising at minimum demographics, medication, allergy and problem list information, can be used to support emergency and routine health care activities.

Standards Harmonization Objectives 4 In order to achieve the primary goal of full healthcare interoperability, harmonization must be achieved in five major areas: – Context/Information Model – establishing a common reference information model to support clinical, public health, financial, and administrative healthcare functions – Terminology/Content Definition – establishing common reference terminology models and data content specifications that are integrated with the information model – Privacy and Security – establishing a common security framework – Methodology – establishing a common methodology/process that all standards organizations and code set maintainers will follow to achieve standards harmonization – Information Interchange – establishing a common information interchange format and standards-based application roles and interactions in a comprehensive dynamic model 4 Achievement creates a Common Standards Harmonization Framework Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 24
HITSP Framework – Basis for Interoperability Specification Template 4 HITSP receives Use Cases and Harmonization Requests from external sources, such as AHIC and ONC. 4 The Use Case or Request defines scenarios, business actors, and business and functional/interoperability requirements. 4 HITSP decomposes the Use Case requirements into scenario(s) and then into transactions providing context: technical actors, actions and content. It may create or reuse a transaction or a grouping of transactions (transaction package) based on commonality at this level. 4 Transactions are logical groupings of actions that are decomposed into components, which are groupings of base standards that work together, such as message and terminology. Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 25
HITSP Framework Basis for Interoperability Specification Template 4 Each HITSP construct, i. e. , transaction package, transaction or component, may constrain the construct or standard below it. Constraints follow a strict hierarchy and are only imposed by the next higher construct. 4 Transaction packages, transactions and components all are potential candidates for reuse if a new set of requirements and context are successfully fulfilled by the existing construct. 4 While reuse is a HITSP goal, it is established in the context of a Use Case and its functional/interoperability requirements. 4 HITSP constructs are version controlled and, if reused, will be uniquely identified.

Definitions and Rules (cont. ) Level Definition Example Rules Component § An atomic construct used to support an information interchange or to meet an infrastructure requirement (e. g. , security, logging/audit) § Lab result message § Lab result context § Typically will use one “primary” standard and may have other “secondary” standards § Expresses constraints on base or composite standards Base Standard § A standard capable of fulfilling a discrete function within a single category produced and maintained by a single standards organization. § Messaging standard § Security standard § Code set. Per HITSP definition the term “standard” refers, but is not limited to, : Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel Implementation Guides Code Sets Terminologies – § Integration profiles § Implementation guides § Health transaction services – – § Grouping of coordinated base standards, often from multiple standards organizations, maintained by a single organization. In HITSP, it can serve as a component, transaction or transaction package functional requirements. . Specifications – Composite Standard – Integration Profiles Per Definition above 29
Harmonization Initiatives: Laying the Foundation for the NHIN 4 HITSP members and experts have committed themselves to setting and implementing standards that will ensure the integrity and interoperability of health data – In some cases, redundant or duplicative standards will be eliminated – In other cases, new standards may be established to span information gaps – In all cases, the resulting standards serve the consumer and other healthcare stakeholders by addressing issues such as data accessibility, privacy and security Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 30
What did HITSP do in 2006? 4 Established the HITSP Organization and its Committees 4 Created the standards harmonization process including all coordinating committee sub-processes 4 Harmonized 3 Use Cases and resolved three controversies along the way – To resolve CCR v. CDA, the CCD was successfully balloted – To resolve the need for Interim standards we accelerated CCD – To resolve HL 7 2. 4 v. 2. 5, ELINCS will be maintained by HL 7 and an HL 7 2. 51 version of ELINCS will be completed by Summer 2007 4 To align HITSP interoperability specifications with CCHIT functional criteria, the CCHIT/HITSP Joint Working group is establishing a joint timeline for the next 3 years Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 31
Interoperability Specification Process 4 The specifications are intended to be used by architects and system designers as a way to guide future implementation efforts based on health IT 4 The specifications represent an ongoing effort to create a framework/template that represents a solution set for solving the known problems related to a Use Case Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 32
