  1. Public Health Data Standards: Partner Perspectives National Association of Health Data Organizations Denise Love March 17, 2004

  2. NAHDO’s Standards Perspective • Public health is broader than communicable disease reporting and epidemiology • The source of public health’s data is the private sector • Technological and political barriers require innovative solutions • The Public Health Data Standards Consortium is unique---composed of organizations representing diverse niches of expertise

  3. NAHDO and Standards • NAHDO is actively engaged in health care data standards activities • State health care data systems are based on UB-92 or the UHDDS plus local fields • State health care data needs are evolving: • e.g. nosocomial infections, race/ethnicity • Pharmacy, patient safety, and outpatient data initiatives • Balancing reporting burden with benefits: • Reasonable and appropriate reporting requirements • Industry gets something in return or buys into the “public good”

  4. UB-92-based Reporting Plus: Fields added by States and Tracked by NAHDO Data elements in red/bold are sought by National Purchasers for Quality

  5. NAHDO’s Standards Activities Support our Base Constituencies • AHRQ/HCUP National Data Standards Project (listserv, technical assistance) • NCHS/CDC Education materials for Health Data Reporting Guide and E-codes • AHRQ and CDC funding for NAHDO’s National Standards Consultant to attend: NUBC, X12N, HL7 • Consulting with Consumer-Purchaser Disclosure Group to expand UB-04 to support quality-based purchasing • National testimony on state positions • Training Workshops: teleconferences and in-person funded by CDC, AHRQ/BRIC, membership funds

  6. NAHDO’s National Standards Consultant

  7. How the Consortium Fits with NAHDO’s Standards Initiatives • NAHDO seeks Consortium support for its members’ health care data agenda • NAHDO is a founding member of Public Health Data Standards Consortium • The Consortium has the power: • To address cross-cutting standards issues • To combine voices around critical data needs • Examples: • Unique patient identifier • Independent assessment of the PHIN and NHII

  8. The Challenge • Identifying the business model and its niche vis a vis other associations • Remaining flexible to rapidly respond to evolving issues • Anticipating the future: proactive vs. reactive
