PHDSC Leadership in Electronic Health Record
(EHR)Dec-March 04PHDSC Ad Hoc Task Force on
Electronic Health Record-PublicHealth (EHR-PH) to validate Health Level 7(HL7) EHR Functional
Model
July-Dec. 04 Pediatric EHR – Public Health Perspectives. Contract from HRSA

Cross-mapping of Clinical and Public Health Pediatric Data
Clinical system is a significant source of data for pediatric public health systems
59% data concepts used in clinical care maps to public health data needs
Significant redundancy can be overcome if EHR systems will populate public health programs

PHDSC EHR-PH System Prototype for Interoperability of Clinical and Public Health System
Our Prototype Illustrates how interoperability between clinical and public health systems can be achieved with a standards-based infrastructure Is built upon existing systems in clinical care and public health programsEnables electronic data reporting from a clinical setting to multiple public health systemsEnables translation of customized standards into HL7 3.0 messaging standardLinks clinical and public health systems to provide a continues view of the patient record across the systems involved

Barriers Public health organization:
(1) various categorical programs(2) organized by state laws public health settings
vary in the ways their funded and managed
Understand commonalities among public health programs and settings in terms of data sources, users, goals and functions
Define business processes for integrating healthcare and public health practices
Involve public health stakeholders in standardization efforts
Develop public health vocabulary
