  5. context

  6. Background

  7. Problem • Many production care summary documents being exchanged today are insufficient • Current content standards are not implementation ready and are not interoperable due to extreme optionality • Absence of well defined test cases • Overall: lack of a single “target” for the industry

  8. Impact • Lack of sufficient structured clinical content can compromise the core value proposition of healthcare information exchange • Lack of a single target makes it very difficult for vendors to select a viable content strategy • Virtually impossible for customers to specify and purchase precisely • Fragmentation is a real danger

  9. Timing • Recent selection of CCHIT and AEGIS with a Dec 9th target Beta test date • Shall allow multiple current C-CDA approaches to be leveraged once completed

  10. The Approach • Will be detailed during the Joint Content Tiger Team kick off discussion • Exchange participants use C-32 by policy with knowledge about real interop issues • IWG has created a field-level constrained content implementation specification • These will be harmonized with a coherent pathway leading to C-CDA

  11. The Approach • Will be detailed during the Joint Content Tiger Team kick off discussion • Exchange participants use C-32 by policy with knowledge about real interop issues • IWG has created a field-level constrained content implementation specification • These will be harmonized with a coherent pathway leading to C-CDA

  12. MU2 Alignment

  13. The Deliverables • TBD by the Joint Content Tiger Team • Implementation content specification • Samples • Test cases • Executable test cases if needed • Implementation guide • Longer term: Content roadmap + C-CDA content implementation specification

  14. Draft harmonized content spec review

  15. Next Steps/Timeline • Today (12/3/12): Review first draft and provide feedback by email prior to next call next week. • 12/10/12: Review feedback; working session to revised draft if/as needed.
