Introduction

The Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) Technical Committees have begun the selection of named standards to be used in constructing the Interoperability Specifications.

The selected standards represent a continuation and refinement of the Gap Analysis delivered to HITSP and the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) on May 30, 2006.

In this phase of its work, each Technical Committee is focusing on evaluating and selecting the specific standards to meet the requirements of its assigned Use Case.

In a future phase, the Technical Committees will provide input to the construction, testing and evaluation of Interoperability Specifications to meet the respective Use Case requirements.

Standards Selection Process Overview

Specifically, the Technical Committee has:

Simplified the set of actions to those requiring interoperable information interchange

Focused on the information interchange actions that directly support the Community breakthroughs

Evaluated the remaining standards using the prototype Tier 2 Readiness Criteria

Produced a preliminary list of selected (named) standards expected to be used in the forthcoming Interoperability Specifications.

5Healthcare Information Technology Standards PanelHealthcare Information Technology Standards Panel

Building Blocks Overview

In the analysis of their respective Use Cases, the Technical Committees have found it useful to group related actions into constructs called “Building Blocks.”

Building Blocks are sets of interoperability requirements delineating abstract systems, actors, transactions and content.

Grouping actions into Building Blocks also can be used to identify the supporting interoperability standards.

Building Blocks have facilitated reuse within a Use Case as well as simplified the task of coordination across the Technical Committees.

Building Blocks can be either Use Case specific or common across two or all three Use Cases.

The Building Blocks represent the current set of analytic constructs.

Key Strategies for Standards Selection

Simplification

Initial analysis of the Use Cases included an extensive number of events and action.– Many of the events and actions did not require interoperable information

interchange between systems.– Deferred such actions as necessary pre- or post-conditions that represent system

functional requirements but not system level interoperability. – Addressed only the remaining actions requiring information interchange.

Focus

Within this set of information interchange functions, the Technical Committee focused on those essential in support of the “breakthrough.”

– Focused on context (information model), the content to be exchanged and the information interchange method itself.

– This deferred work on infrastructure, security, workflow and policy issues.

Key Strategies for Standards Selection

Evaluation

The Technical Committee then evaluated all of the remaining standards using the Tier 2 Readiness Criteria.

These criteria are prototypes and as such, are under evaluation. They are designed to document the evaluation process and to show, but not calculate, justification for selecting a standard.

The criteria include ONC preference for use of standards named by the Consolidated Health Informatics (CHI) and other federal initiatives.

Selection

Based on the Tier 2 evaluations, named standards were selected.

It is important to understand that the standards selected here are within the context of the specific Use Case requirements and do not necessarily reflect selection in other contexts.

During the actual construction of Interoperability Specifications, the Technical Committee may need to refine this listing based on detailed analysis.

membership3. Many of the standards remain in scope until interoperability specification process to

determine field data mapping requirements4. Many hooks (security) deferred from the spreadsheet – will need further evaluation5. Efforts completed to date will inform further work6. Individual building blocks are not independent with respect to standard selection. 7. Pallets of standards to manage interdependencies among the building blocks and avoid

inconsistencies in completion of full use case workflow

Consumer Empowerment Use CaseBuilding Blocks: Organizing the Interoperability Specification development

Looking forward to creating Interoperability Specifications, the Building Block concept, although not necessarily any of the current constructs, will be used to create reusable modules of interoperability that support the overall Use Case requirements.

The Building Blocks will occupy a middle tier between the overall HITSP Interoperability Specification addressing a specific Use Case and underlying sets of standards.

These Building Blocks once refined and normalized, guide implementation of a discrete set of confined standards, and themselves become interoperability specifications to be tested and maintained.

Such Building Blocks then become available for reuse or modification by future Interoperability Specifications focused at other use cases.

Electronic Health Record Standards Selection Overview

Building Block Process

Building blocks were useful to help identify suites or palates of standards that work well together. Initially, building blocks were drafted separately by each TC; later, standards in similar building blocks were aggregated across TCs. As a result, only a subset of standards named within a building block may apply to a particular use case scenario. Functional block diagrams were created in an increasingly consistent fashion by all TCs. The functional steps comprise one or more building blocks; they helped identify standards that work well together to accomplish use case scenarios

Implementation Guides and Profiles

Implementation guides and profiles (e.g., CHCF ELINCS, IHE PIX, etc.) were used to define building blocks, and to identify and select standards. These were not selected as standards per se, but appropriate sections of them may be chosen or incorporatedsubsequently in implementation guidance relevant to the selected standards.

Standards Selection Process

In previous work, a superset of candidate standards was determined. In selecting the standards from these, building blocks and functional step grouping together were useful to identify sets of standards that work well together. Selections also were based on Tier 2 criteria including relevance, adoption, and meeting use case requirements.

Current Status of Standards Selection: selections are in partially complete and further analysis is required as indicated by “TBD” in the following summary.

Electronic Health Record Standards Selection Summary

• Standard selections are based on Tier 2 criteria, applied to individual standards from building blocks grouped in a functional step analysis, in the context of the use case

• Implementation Guides and Profiles were used to inform the selection of standards and may be included in subsequent implementation specifications

• Many standards remain in scope pending further analysis• Efforts completed to date will inform further work• Individual building blocks are not independent with respect to

standard selection, for some functional steps

Next Steps

May 31 – June 6 Use the Tier 2 Standards Harmonization Readiness Criteria and work with industry and government stakeholders to develop draft lists of selected standards for each Use Case.

June 6 Publish the draft lists of selected standards for HITSP review and comment.

June 6 – June 13 Vet the draft lists of selected standards with stakeholders and refine as appropriate; garner commitments from industry as appropriate.

June 14 Present the draft lists of selected standards at the HITSP June 14th

session for review and approval.

June 15 – June 26 Refine and revise the draft lists of selected standards based onconditions of approval.

June 26 – June 29 Prepare final lists of selected standards for publication.

June 29 Submit Final Selected Standards to ONC.

September 29 Submit Final Interoperability Specifications to ONC
