  3. In 2005, HHS awarded contracts to seed a public-private effort to build a nationwide health information network

  4. The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) American Health Information Community The Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC) Nationwide Health Information Network Architecture Projects(NHIN) 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 HITSP includes 379 different member organizations and is administered by a Board of Directors 24 SDOs (6%) 308 Non-SDOs (81%) 32 Govt. bodies (9%) 15 Consumer groups (4%) 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.

  5. What is the Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel? • The Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) is a volunteer, consensus-driven organization • 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 thegovernment agencies who monitor the U.S. healthcare system to those organizations who are actually writing the standards More info at: www.hitsp.org

  6. The HITSP team is charged with completing eleven different tasks, with current efforts focused on the harmonization process Eleven Tasks are included in this contract: • Comprehensive Work Plan • Conduct a Project Start Up Meeting • Deliver Recommended Use-Cases • Participate in related meetings and activities, including the AHIC Meetings • Develop a Gap Analysis • Standards Selection, Evaluations and Testing • Define a Harmonization Approach • Develop Interoperability Specifications • Develop and Evaluate a Business Plan for the self-sustaining processes • Submit Monthly Reports – ongoing efforts • Assist with communications – ongoing efforts The Community HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt, Chair HHS ONCHIT1 PO, Dr. John Loonsk HITSP Dr. John Halamka, Chair Member populated Technical Committees Project Management Team Executive in Charge, F.

  7. Identify a pool of standards for a general breakthrough area Identify gaps and overlaps for a specific context Make recommendations to the HITSP for resolution of gaps and overlaps Develop interoperability specifications for using the selected standard for a specific context Test the instruction for using the standard 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

  8. HITSP formed Technical Committees to focus on AHIC breakthrough areasOverview/Structure and Current Use Cases • Care Delivery Technical Committee: • EHR - Lab Reporting-- Deploy standardized, widely available, secure solutions for accessing laboratory results and interpretations in a patient-centric manner for clinical care by authorized parties. • Emergency Responder – EHR-- Covers the use of the ER-EHR from the perspective of on-site care providers and emergency care clinicians. Definitive care clinicians involved in the care and treatment of emergency incident victims, medical examiner/fatality managers investigating cause of death, and public health practitioners using information contained in the ER-EHR, are included because of their interactions with the other portions of this use case. • Medication Management– Focuses on patient medication and allergies information exchange, and the sharing of that information between consumers, clinicians (in multiple sites and settings of care), pharmacists, and organizations that provide health insurance and pharmacy benefits.

  9. HITSP formed Technical Committees to focus on AHIC breakthrough areas Overview/Structure and Current Use Cases • Consumer Empowerment Technical Committee: • 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. • Consumer Access to Clinical Information– Includes three scenarios which describe highlights of the processes, roles and information exchanges which could enable a consumer’s access to clinical information via a personal health record (PHR). The three scenarios are: Consumers receive and access clinical information; Consumers create provider lists and establish provider access permissions; and Consumers transfer PHR information.

  10. HITSP formed Technical Committees to focus on AHIC breakthrough areas Overview/Structure and Current Use Cases • Population Health Technical Committee: • 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 and anonymized format to authorized public health agencies with less than one day lag time. • Quality – This use case depicts two scenarios related to quality measurement, feedback and reporting with respect to a patient’s encounter with the healthcare delivery system: quality measurement of hospital-based care and of care provided by clinicians.

  15. HITSP Technical Committees Terms of Reference • Perform high level Requirements Analysis and Design of HITSP Interoperability Specifications, transaction packages, transactions, components, constructs including requirements analysis, and minimum data set. • Identify and analyze gaps and duplications within the standards industry as they are related to each specific Use Case. • Provide a description of the gaps, including missing or incomplete standards. • Provide a description of the duplications, overlaps, or competition among standards for the relevant Use Case. • Review and scope statements of work for each new use case.

  16. HITSP Technical Committees Terms of Reference (cont.) • Provide a listing of all standards that satisfy the requirements imposed by the relevant use cases as well as readiness criteria that shall be used to evaluate the standard. • Select and evaluate recommended standards to meet the relevant Use Case. • Develop, review and evaluate ‘interoperability specifications’ for the selected standards. • Submit recommendations to HITSP for review, approval and resolution. • Ensure timely response and disposition of comments. • Ensure on-going process for addressing corrections/change requests and resolutions.

  17. Security and Privacy Technical Committee Terms of Reference • Harmonize HITSP standards for EHR-Lab reporting, Population Health and Consumer Empowerment with relevant Security and Privacy standards, including the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules, and basic consents, where appropriate. • Assemble HITSP Security and Privacy Technical Committee (S&PTC) with adequate representation from each TC. • Convene regular meetings of the S&PTC to review current Interoperability Specifications and identify areas of Security and Privacy that were deferred. • Begin work on identifying security standards, approaches, and identifying unresolved issues (e.g. policy issues). Leverage activities of other Security and Privacy related workgroups. • In developing Security and Privacy related content, it will be important to maintain traceability on how existing and emerging HITSP constructs may be affected.

  20. HITSP Definition of a Standard • A standard specifies a well-defined approach that supports a business process and: (1) has been agreed upon by a group of experts; (2) has been publicly vetted; (3) provides rules, guidelines, or characteristics; (4) helps to ensure that materials, products, processes, and services are fit for their intended purpose; (5) is available in an accessible format; and (6) is subject to an ongoing review and revision process.

  21. Tier 1 Standards Readiness Criteria • The standards required to support each major Use Case event were organized within an agreed upon standards taxonomy • The standards selected for inclusion in the pool were examined using ‘HITSP approved’ Tier 1 and Tier 2 Harmonization Readiness Criteria

  22. Tier 2 Standards Readiness Criteria • Suitability • The standard is named at a proper level of specificity and meets technical and business criteria of use case • Compatibility • The standard shares common context, information exchange structures, content or data elements, security and processes with other HITSP harmonized standards or adopted frameworks as appropriate • Preferred Standards Characteristics • Approved standards, widely used, readily available, technology neutral, supporting uniformity, demonstrating flexibility and international usage are preferred • Standards Development Organization and Process • Meet selected criteria including balance, transparency, developer due process, stewardship and others. • Total Costs and Ease of Implementation • Deferred to future work

  23. HITSP receives Use Cases and Harmonization Requests from external sources, such as AHIC and ONC. The Use Case or Request defines scenarios, business actors, and business and functional/interoperability requirements. 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. 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. 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. 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. While reuse is a HITSP goal, it is established in the context of a Use Case and its functional/interoperability requirements. HITSP constructs are version controlled and, if reused, will be uniquely identified. HITSP FrameworkBasis for Interoperability Specification Template
