3. What is “Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise”? • A 10-year public-private global initiative driven by end-users worldwide • Clinicians • Non-profit organizations • USA: OASIS, CORE • State & Federal agencies & related entities • State Depts Public Health • Governments: • France: GIP-DMP - French Ministry of Health • USA: American Heart Association • Worldwide: HIMSS, RSNA • Professional Societies • Representing 270,000+ individual members: • HIMSS, RSNA, PHIN, ACC, ACP, AAO, ACCE, ASTRO, etc • Standards Development Orgs (SDOs): • HL7, DICOM, CDISC, W3C, IEEE, Etc. • Vendors & consultants (imaging, EHRs, Cardio, devices, etc)

4. IHE Mission • IHE improves patient care by harmonizing electronic health information exchange • Enables approved standards to seamlessly pass health information among care providers on a local, regional and national level • IHE Frameworks are freely available to all • Ok, now translate – what does that really mean?

5. Big concept = package approved standards into usable “tool kit or package” Package standards in usable packages (called profiles) • Standards are a great thing to have, but how to best assemble and use them? Example: Child car seats • Standard = All children younger than certain age had to be in a car seat • Location: Not prescribed • Front seat - OK • New standard packaged the concept • Child in car seat + strapped in + facing backwards + better sizing

6. 10 IHE Development Domains - Helping Public Health More Directly Note: The Public Health Data Standards Consortium helped HIMSS & RSNA start QRPH Domain QRPH leverages “packages” (profiles) from multiple domains Radiologysince 1998 PharmacyNEW 2009 Cardiologysince 2004 Pathologysince 2006 Laboratorysince 2004 Eye Caresince 2006 (Healthcare)IT Infrastructuresince 2003 QualityResearch & Public Healthsince 2006 Radiation Oncologysince 2004 Patient Care Devicessince 2005 Patient Care Coordinationsince 2004 11 Years of Steady Evolution 1998 – 2009

7. Why Public Health professionals & your vendors should get involved • If as a PH professional you are involved in evaluating and/or selecting IT products and consultants - you and/or your consultants & vendors can & should: • Use IHE Integration Profiles to develop interoperability strategy • Use Connectathon Results and Integration Statements to evaluate vendors • Demand IHE Integration Profile compliance in RFPs

8. IHE Vendor Integration Statements

9. Many ways to become involved • As a User, Committee Member or Interested Observer • Contribute your knowledge & expertise • Join a Domain Planning or Technical Committee • Provide Public Comments on Technical Framework Supplements and IHE White Papers • June 1, 2009: IHE opened round of Public Comment • www.ihe.net/Technical_Framework/public_comment.cfm • Attend Demonstrations, Educational Events and Workshops

10. See for yourself – Interoperability Demonstrations • PHIN: August 2009 - Atlanta • RSNA: November 2009 – Chicago • HIMSS10: March 2010 – Atlanta

11. QRPH White Papers Section 3001 of ARRA that requires the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (HIT) to develop a nationwide health information technology infrastructure that will allow for the electronic use and exchange of information to improve health care quality, reduce medical errors, reduce health care disparities, and advance the delivery of patient-centered medical care… • Patient-Level Export of Quality Data • Identifies a set if IT Infrastructure and Patient Care Coordination profiles that can be used to retrieve quality data from multiple systems for quality reporting and aggregation. This framework can be extended to research and public health purposes • White Paper: Performance Measurement Data Element Structured for EHR Extraction • Intended to identify a standard mechanism to enable extraction of quality measures from Electronic Health Record Systems

12. Cancer Registry Pathology ReportValue Proposition • ~ 2 Million cancers diagnosed each year in the US • ~ 95% of these cancers have one or more pathology reports • The US federally mandates reporting • serves as the foundation to reduce illness and death from cancer • Making use of the EHR and IHE methodology • reduce time and resources required to meet federal mandates • improve the timeliness of reporting • Being proposed to IHE Pathology for a New Directions Demonstration 12

13. Other Opportunities for Involvement
