  1. California State Systems Interoperability and Integration Project IT CommitteeMeeting 3 July 30, 2013

  2. DRAFT Agenda for Meeting # 3 • Comments related to previous meetings • Action items from previous meetings • Review draft recommendations related to: • Enterprise architecture; • IT initiatives to be leveraged for interoperability; and • Identify top priorities for data sharing in CHHS that can realistically be initiated within the next 5 years and implemented within the next 10 years. • Structure of our 45-minute session at the September 23-24 symposium • Plan to present draft material to other work groups in August.

  3. DRAFT Recommendations • As we review the list, let’s identify what activities should happen in the near term (6 months), medium term (6 months – 2 years), and longer term (more than 2 years) • For instance, for some recommendations, these activities may be appropriate: • 6 months: education and outreach • 6 months – 2 years: for active projects, identify how to implement selected or all of the recommendations • More than 2 years: develop a plan for full implementation

  4. DRAFT Recommendations (1)Enterprise Architecture 1. Adopt national standards. These include MITA, NHSIA, and related information-sharing standards. 2. Plan to implement solutions that support key concepts from NHSIA and MITA. These concepts include: • Common processes • Shared information • Core capabilities • Service-oriented architecture • Identity management and access control • Shared IT services • Hubs • Shared infrastructure • Performance metrics and analytics 3. Adopt/consider the key concepts at every opportunity. • Major procurement, minor enhancement, bug fix, system upgrade

  5. DRAFT Recommendations (2)Enterprise Architecture 4. Build on lessons learned from SSIIP proof of concept demonstrations, Federal projects/guidance, California counties, other California agencies, other states, and industry. 5. Integrate health and human services enterprise architectures for interoperability. Stay consistent with California Enterprise Architecture framework and reference architectures. 6. Implement identified short-, medium-, and long-term goals initiatives/activities.

  6. DRAFT Recommendations (3)Enterprise Architecture 7. Focus on high-priority common processes/capabilities. • A core/foundational base of processes/capabilities: • Identity and access management • Confidentiality and privacy agreement • Master person index • These processes/capabilities that will build on the core: • Eligibility • Enrollment • Case Portfolio • Provider Registry

  7. DRAFT Recommendations (4)Enterprise Architecture 8. Focus on high-priority information exchanges to support the high-priority processes/capabilities: • Related to basic entities (person, provider, case) • Identify minimum categories of information (e.g., contact, demographics, health; credentials, affiliations, performance; case plan, case entry) required to support specific business needs • Use scenarios to explain the context for required information sharing. 9. Continue collaboration among organizations that support health and human services across the state and counties to further interoperability.

  8. What might get in the way of implementing the recommendations?

  9. Leverage Ongoing/Upcoming IT Initiatives • Enterprise architecture activities at state, agency, department, and county levels • Health Information Exchange (HIE) • CalHEERS • LEADER Replacement System • Alameda County dashboard and business intelligence metrics • Orange County GFIPM and JUICE • San Diego County Beacon activities • Los Angeles County master person index • CA DMV master person index

  10. Top Priorities for Data Sharing in CHHS • Proof of Concept “form” data exchanges? • Other Children in Foster Care exchanges? • Exchanges related to other use cases? • Stroke and Co-Occurring Conditions • Medical and Public Health Response to an Earthquake Disaster • Exchanges across departments? • Exchanges with external partners? • Justice, law enforcement, education, health care providers, etc.

  11. DRAFT Presentation Outline for September Symposium • Committee’s objectives • Committee members • Process (including connections to other committees) • Outcomes • Vision • Fundamental Ideas and Terminology • Major To-Be Architecture Elements • Short-, Medium-, and Longer-Term Activities (revised) • Enterprise Architecture Recommendations • Challenges • Leverage Ongoing/Upcoming IT Initiatives • Top Priorities for Data Sharing in CHHS • Next steps • Reiterate short-term activities • Reiterate high-priority recommendations

  12. Background - Backup

  13. IT Committee Charge The Information Technology (IT) Subcommittee’s charge is to develop technology-related recommendations for the State plan focused on: • Enterprise architecture; • IT initiatives to be leveraged for interoperability; and • Identify top priorities for data sharing in CHHS that can realistically be initiated within the next 5 years and implemented within the next 10 years. Note: All of the project’s subcommittees are working on this.

  14. IT Committee Members • Chair: Linette Scott (DHCS) • SSIIP staff support: Valerie Barnes, Linda Hockman, Glenn Freitas • Other SSIIP staff: Laura Beeman, John DeVere, Richard Gold, Michael Kerr, Bill Parcell

  15. ProcessInitial members of the IT committee: • Provided information to guide the development of the Proof of Concept Request for Demonstration. • Generated information about the “As-Is” technology landscape within the California Health and Human Services Agency. The information was reviewed at the first SSIIP Symposium and will inform the final State plan. • Drafted a “To-Be” vision of interoperability supportive of the ACF’s three goals for this funding opportunity (improvement in client service delivery, reduction in errors/integrity improvement, improvement in administrative efficiency).

  16. ProcessThe full IT committee: • Included representatives from state CHHS departments and county agencies. • Developed IT-related recommendations for the State plan, building on the draft “To-Be” vision and the roadmap exercise at the first SSIIP Symposium. • Convened three times. Discussions focused on: • Draft vision, elements of architecture, fundamental ideas and concepts • High-priority processes and capabilities • What data needs to be shared • Recommendations • How to leverage ongoing/upcoming projects and what additional projects/activities are needed • Areas where support needed from other committees

  17. Confirmed: California Health and Human Services Agency Draft To-Be Architecture Vision Our “to be” architecture will improve the delivery and outcome of health and human services in California. It will be consistent with MITA, NHSIA, and related information sharing standards. Key features of this improvement include: • “No Wrong Door” for clients • Client-oriented systems • Improved program integrity • Systems that are easy for case workers and agency staff members to use Interoperability of business processes and systems across the agency • Sharing and reuse of processes, applications, services, data, and infrastructure across domains and programs • Use of standards for data exchange • Secure, efficient, and effective data sharing to meet stakeholder needs Approaches for human services that leverage and build on health-related projects and initiatives and vice versa

  18. MITA and NHSIA Provide a Framework and Roadmap To Achieve Common Goals Interoperability Goals To-Be As-Is NHSIA and MITA Results • Improved processes • Accessible information • Improved efficiency and effectiveness • Fraud detection and prevention • Improved decisions • Better outcomes • Common business processes • Standard informationexchanges (HITECH EHR, NIEM) • Shared IT services & infrastructure • Comprehensive performance management • Unique business processes • Fragmented information; limited information sharing • Duplicate systems, infrastructure • Limited performance information Improved Health and Human Services Delivery

  19. Fundamental ideas and terminology • Core capabilities provide a foundation for interoperability (among programs, agencies, departments, organizations, and jurisdictions). • Interoperable systems share information and IT services to efficiently deliver integrated health and human services to the client community. • Interoperability can be achieved through frameworks, standards, infrastructure, and systems compatible with NHSIA, MITA, NIEM, and HITECH EHR requirements.

  20. Major To-Be Architecture Elements • Business • Agree to adopt and enforce standards • Playbook for shared information and technology • Identify automation components to support business • Information • Standards • Data models • Ensure audit capacity • Technology to share • Identity management • Access control • Registries • Security • Other IT services

  21. Major To-Be Architecture Elements (2) • Governance – a separate committee is working on this topic • Identify policies, systems, and decisions that will establish authority and responsibility for sustained interoperability • Deliverable: Recommend a governance model for implementation of electronic data sharing across CHHS departments. The model will be a framework to guide decision-making related to infrastructure (i.e. policy adjustments, standard agreements for data sharing, evaluation criteria, approval process for new IT systems and modernizations, standard language for system access and data sharing agreements) and operation (data access and access control). • County-State HIE (and, potentially, other) connections options • Federated model (no state central hosting) • State central hosted model • Mixed model (state central hosted for smaller counties connecting with county hosted for the larger counties; or county hosted for larger counties and regionally hosted for smaller counties)

  22. Roadmap of activities • Discussed, reviewed, and updated ideas from May symposium

  23. IT Initiatives/Activities: General • Adopt MITA-NHSIA-HL7-NIEM – National Standards • Complete the replacement of CWS/CMS within the next 5 years • Collaborate, communicate, train staff • Security and identity management

  24. IT Initiatives/Activities: Within 6 Months • Influence the CWS/CMS procurement document. • Include NIEM standards • * Include linking to CalHEERS or other eligibility systems * • Include common eligibility • Include SOA Note: The procurement team already plans to include all but the item marked *. • Convene a collaborative group to make all this happen. • Give CWS workers access to systems that hold health, immunization, and other data used to determine eligibility for other programs like Medicaid. Implement automated referral for Medicaid.

  25. IT Initiatives/Activities: 6 Months to 2 Years • How to address security, including level of granularity of data access and control. • Adopt national standards for high-priority exchanges. • Develop “blue button” for clients, so they can view and export their own health and human services information. Start with this capability for older foster children. • Identify what data needs to be shared, with whom, and when. • Develop guidelines / standards for when we adapt a national standard (instead of adopting a standard intact).

  26. IT Initiatives/Activities: More than 2 Years • Integrate consortia systems. • Plug CWS/CMS into CalHEERS.

  38. California Child Welfare Council Statement on Information Sharing and Data Standardization “The Council recommends and urges all information technology efforts involved in the exchange of information regarding children and families served by the child welfare system to: • Establish a common data element vocabulary; • Promote the development, sharing, use, and reuse of information technology processes, applications, data structures, and infrastructures required to enable data exchanges; • Use common frameworks and models, such as the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) model, to encourage flexible applications; • Use interoperable standards developed and maintained by Federal entities and intergovernmental partnerships, such as the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) standard, as the basis for information exchanges; and • Use common or uniform confidentiality/privacy agreements consistent with Federal and State laws.” http://www.chhs.ca.gov/initiatives/Olmstead/Documents/CaliforniaChildWelfareCouncil_2012DataStatement.pdf

  39. Core capabilities provide foundational capabilities or information • Find and get basic and/or summary information about key entities (e.g., person, case, provider, and program) to improve information sharing and enable improved delivery of health and human services • Verify information against authoritative sources to support eligibility, enrollment, and other program-related rules • Collect, aggregate, and analyze key operational performance information across programs, the agency, departments, organizations, and jurisdictions to improve effectiveness and efficiency
