  2. HITSC-approved Recommendations • Establish NLM as the single validation authority for value sets to be used in MU-2 quality measures. • Expedite recommendations of the Implementation WG (1/2012) and the Vocabulary TF (4/2010) for a public value-set repository. • Build on the IHE Sharing Value Sets (SVS) profile for storing & serving value sets and incorporate Common Terminology Service 2 (CTS-2) methods for managing the vocabularies referenced by value sets. • Establish a Web service for human and machine consumption of MU-2 value sets. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

  3. API Value Set Repository Concept • Integration with Authoring Tool(s) to support value set authorship • Free-standing, Web-based value set authoring tool(s) • API Phase 1 (Scope of 5/2012 CQWG Recommendations) Phase 2 (Future) Value Set Authorship Curation Delivery Value Set Consumption • Web page population for human consumption Controlled Value Set Repository & Validation Engine • Web download / web services for machine consumption Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

  4. Phase 1 Accomplishments A Value Set Authority for MU-2 value sets has been established by NLM. The MU-2 value sets have been validated, and value-set authors are making needed edits. NLM & ONC are tracking outstanding issues to completion. The Sharing Value Sets (SVS) standard will be used for Meaningful Use Stage 2 and Common Terminology Services 2 (CTS-2) is being considered as an additional standard for future use. NLM, ONC, AHRQ and CMS are collaborating on development of delivery mechanisms for MU-2 value sets. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

  5. Next Steps (beyond MU-2) Formalize governance for the Value-Set Authority. Provide Curation Versioning Value-set Harmonization and Re-use Extend NLM tools for end-to-end support Value-set validation at the point of authorship Value-set discovery and re-use Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology
