  9. 9 General Device - Communication Architecture Courtesy: Continua Alliance

  10. 10 Single data interface architecture: all Continua Personal Health Devices, all IHE-PCD Medical Devices, and all IHE EMRs!

  11. DEC Profile: PCD-01 Transaction • It profiles HL7 V2.6 + IEEE Device Data Terminology • IHE DEC Profile: PCD-01 transaction • Two transport: TCP/IP+MLLP or WS (ITI TF App V) • One profiled message format (HL7 V2.6): compact, common • One simple data model for all devices (data levels, values, units, etc.) • IHE RTM Profile: Rosetta Terminology Mapping For each specific home and care device (over 300): • Consistent ‘containment hierarchy’ and value sets for coded data • Consistent use of units-of-measure for enumerated values A consistentapproach to importing device data in a medical record

  12. eHealth and Interoperability: What’s new in IHE Profiles ? • Patient Care Devices • Patient Care Coordination • Radiology • IT Infrastructure • Testing, Tools and Connectathons • And more: Pharmacy, Eye Care, Endoscopy, Dentistry Domains

  13. Road to semantic interoperability: a huge step Header • Terminology Value Sets: • Snomed • ICD • LOINC • IEEE • Etc. Templates Modules Data Elements Archetypes Result in a Flexible but Consistent set of Document Types Section A Section B CDA Rel2 Section K A consistentapproach to standardized modular definition of clinical content Section L

  14. Patient Care Coordination • Maternal and Baby Care now supported with a complete set of CDA documents: • Antepartum Education (APE) • Antepartum Laboratory (APL) • Antepartum History and Physical (APHP) • Antepartum Summary (APS) • Labor and Delivery History and Physical (LDHP) • Labor and Delivery Summary (LDS) • Maternal Discharge Summary (MDS) • Newborn Discharge Summary (NDS) • Postpartum Visit Summary (PPVS) All relying on the standardized modular definition of clinical content

  15. eHealth and Interoperability: What’s new in IHE Profiles ? • Patient Care Devices • Patient Care Coordination • Radiology • IT Infrastructure • Testing, Tools and Connectathons • And more: Pharmacy, Eye Care, Endoscopy, Dentistry Domains

  16. Radiology • XDS-I continues to receive much attention • Sharing of Imaging Information (based on XDS) • Multi-Community Clarifications with XCA-I • Implementation is now widespread and feedback is positive • Radiation Exposure Monitoring ready for prime time • At the Modality level, now moving to PACS/RIS, next to national registries

  17. eHealth and Interoperability: What’s new in IHE Profiles ? • Patient Care Devices • Patient Care Coordination • Radiology • IT Infrastructure • Testing, Tools and Connectathons • And more: Pharmacy, Eye Care, Endoscopy, Dentistry Domains

  18. IT Infrastructure Growing understanding of the strength and breadth of the “XD*” family of profiles • XDM on e-mail for ubiquitous pt-to-pt send or CD/USBfor media • XDR on SOAP/WS for point-to-point exchange • XDS for registry-centric exchange in a “community”* • XCA for peer to peer federation of “communities”* * Most suited for Finland

  19. IT Infrastructure Growing understanding of the strength and breadth of the “XD*” family of profiles • XDM on e-mail for ubiquitous pt-to-pt send or CD/USBfor media • XDR on SOAP/WS for point-to-point exchange • XDS for registry-centric exchange in a “community”* • XCA for peer to peer federation of “communities”* To be combined with different patient identification strategies: • PDQ Shared stable source of Identities* • PIX for “MPI” centric patient Id linkage • XCPD for discovery & ID linkage across communities • XCPD for location discovery with a shared source of identities* * Most likely suited for Finland

  20. IT Infrastructure XDSand related Profiles extend deployment: • Off-the shelf sharing of records/documents (Finns invention !). All type of clinical content. • Robust service: submission sets, replace/amend, etc. • Open source and support by well over 100 products (infrastructure & EPRs). • Projects range from communities (a few hospitals/clinics) to regions and nations. Now a few registries/repositories with more than 1 million patients. • Implementation feedback is positive: moving beyond interfacing to user experience.

  21. IHE, Global Standards-Based Profiles Adopted in National & Regional Projects (sample) Austria Lower Austria NETHERLANDS Friesland Natn’l Mamography Italy Conto Corrente Venetto - Friuli VITL-Vermont FranceDMP Quebec, Toronto,Alberta, British ColumbiaCanada Infoway SuisseSt Gallen Lausane Wales Imaging France Imaging IDF Boston Medical Center - MA For more complete list see: tinyurl.com/wwXDS Philadelphia HIE Belgium Flemish-Leuven KeyHIE Pennsylvania CareSpark – TN & VA SHARP CA South Africa THINC- New York NCHICA – N. Carolina Providence Health System - OR CHINA-Shanghai Imaging Info Sharing CHINA-MoH Lab results sharing JAPAN-Nagoya Imaging Info Sharing, Nationwide PDI guideline 21 21

  22. IT Infrastructure Completed the regional & national infrastructure needs: • Terminology Value Set distribution/updates with extended SVS profile: • Retrieve value Sets by unique identifier • Queries to search and access value set descriptions • Healthcare Provider Directory (HPD) • Based on LDAP • Support Provider Persons or Provider Organizations or both (with optional relationships) • Security and Privacy increasingly better understood: • Encryption and Audit Trail (ATNA) • Basic Patient Privacy Consent (BPPC) • User Assertion (XUA) now enriched with explicit attributes

  23. XDW - Necessity Many different worldwide projects have as goals to paperless/digitizing of clinical processes. The management of workflows across multiple organizations is the next frontier: • For example various eReferral, chronic care workflows • Flexible nature and processes for these workflows • Clinical, economic, social and organizational impact value

  24. XDW – Key Elements Key assumption: Data/records are shared (use XDS) Build key elements on top of XDS: • Managing multi-organizational workflows. Any entities to join • Workflow associated information in referenced documents • Tracking the past steps of the workflow related to specific clinical events that triggered it • Generic workflow infrastructure: federation of point of care workflows • Public Comment opens May 27, 2011 for one month. Trial implementation startsAugust 2011

  25. eHealth and Interoperability: What’s new in IHE Profiles ? • Patient Care Devices • Patient Care Coordination • Radiology • IT Infrastructure • Testing, Tools and Connectathons • And more: Pharmacy, Eye Care, Endoscopy, Dentistry Domains
