  6. HL7-EHR Functional Standards • Congratulations! • EHR interchange standard must accommodate the information needed to support the functions defined in the DSTU

  7. HL7-EHR Interchange Standard • Goal: • Transmission of complete EHR between any system without information loss • Requirements • Information model must accommodate all possible types of information (from scanned documents to fully standardized and encoded records) • Arbitrary subsections of the record can be transmitted • Implementation should not require bilateral technical agreements (need meta-transactions)

  8. Future – Guideline Interchange Standard • Goal: • Sharing fully computable decision support algorithms • Problem: • Every site of care can not muster the resources to develop a complete suite of decision support algorithms • Solutions: • Standard for encoding decision support would allow sharing and distribution of algorithms (i.e., printing press for guidelines)
