  1.

  2. ONC’s Interoperability Strategy • Leverage government as a platform for innovation to create conditions of interoperability • Health information exchange is not one-size-fits-all; create a portfolio of solutions that support all uses and users • Build in incremental steps – “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good”

  3. What is the S&I Framework? • The Standards and Interoperability (S&I) Framework represents one investment and approach adopted by the Office of Science & Technology (OST) to fulfill its charge of prescribing health IT standards and specifications to support national health outcomes and healthcare priorities • The S&I Framework is an example of “government as a platform”– enabled by integrated functions, processes, and tools – for the open community* of implementers and experts to work together to standardize * As of April 2012, 1100+ people had registered on the S&I Framework wiki, and 450+ people representing 300+ organizations had committed to the S&I Framework

  4. Why the S&I Framework Approach? • S&I Framework Approach: • Create a collaborative, coordinated incrementalstandards process, • Guided by ONC, with input from Federal Advisory Committees, • Enabled and led by the an open community of industry participants who are interested in solving real worldproblems • Value created through this approach: • Solvereal-world issues to enable health information exchange • Harness the expertise and passion of the community to solve problems • Empower the community to create the best solutions for interoperability and standards adoption

  5. ONC’s Interoperability Portfolio Vocabulary & Code Sets How should well-defined values be coded so that they are universally understood? Content Structure How should the message be formatted so that it is computable? Transport How does the message move from A to B? Security How do we ensure that messages are secure and private? How do health information exchange participants find each other? Services

  7. S&I Framework Updates • SDO Activities • IG’s for LRI and ToC successfully balloted • HQMF V2 under ballot • Initiatives in Progress • esMD • LOI/eDOS • Query Health (Pilots) • Longitudinal Care Coordination • PHRI • Initiatives Completed • ToC • LRI • Provider Directory • Support Activities: • Test data generation activities for MU2 • CCDA Guide for BEACONS 7

  9. Nationwide Health Information Network A portfolio of services, standardsandpoliciesthat enable secure health information exchange overthe Internet.

  10. eHealth Exchange Strategic Road Map Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 • Early adopters • Federal business cases • Shared infrastructure • Early lessons learned • Success / viability • ONC program pilot concludes • Production ramps up • Transition to public-private model • Grow participation and transactions • Refine and scale • Expand value cases • Align with NwHIN governance • Implement sustainability model • Continued growth in participant and transactions • Revenue model sustains operations • Nationwide deployment • Interoperable exchange among private entities

  12. Investing in Innovation (i2) • ONC’s Challenges and Prizes program spurring private-sector innovation and engaging developers to address health problems that touch every person in America: • Care Transitions • Cancer Research • Heart Disease • Population Health • Sexual Abuse • Disabilities • Over 100 new applications developed • Winners have received $195,000 in prizes • Over 25 new challenges planned

  13. SHARP – Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects Automated complex decisions around health record exchange, assuring regulation compliance • Security of Health IT - Innovations in security and privacy required to build public trust in health IT systems Developed techniques to analyze health records access logs to catch policy violations • Patient-Centered Cognitive Support – Innovations in health IT usability and clinical decision support Piloted Rapid Usability Assessment Protocol for EHRs Comparing usability across EHR systems via Usability Lab

  14. SHARP – Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects Healthcare Applications – New health IT architectures enabling substitutable applications Created SMART platform – a test-bed for the substitutable app development SMART-enabled i2b2, a data analytics platform, and Indivo, a PHR Secondary Use of EHR Data – Enabling exchange through creating tools, services for large-scale data sharing Conversion and normalization of lab messages & medication orders Extraction of medication from narrative clinical documents

  16. Federal Health Architecture: Advancing National Health IT FHA in 2012: Strategy and Architecture • New Governance • More strategic alignment within and across Federal partner agencies • Greater transparency and enhanced communications • Commitment to fulfilling original intent of FHA as E-Gov Line of Business • Strategy Planning • FHA Strategic Plan nearing completion • FHA Line of business (LoB) Service Plan delivered to OMB • Interoperability Architecture • Identify current and planned data exchanges among Federal agencies and partners • Develop FHA public-facing portal • Align with standards harmonization efforts (e.g. Standards and Interoperability Framework) • Demonstrate exchange methods beyond Direct and SOA – RHEx pilots 16

  17. Federal Health Architecture: Advancing National Health IT FHA in 2012: Innovations • CONNECT Open Source • CONNECT code on GitHub, sprint sessions open • Engaging open source community through code-a-thons, encouraging code contributions • Developing CONNECT 4.0, incorporating Direct specifications • RESTful Health Exchange (RHEx) • Two pilots • TATRC • HealthInfoNet 17

  18. The CONNECT Gateway Project The CONNECT gateway project was later established as a separate OMB E-Gov LoB • To form a federal health IT consortium to jointly govern and develop CONNECT as a shared investment toward a common solution that would be deployed and operated separately utilizing existing standards and terminologies/value sets • Provides transport gateway and adapter services for participants • CONNECT v4.0 just launched and is being demonstrated in the Interoperability Showcase!

  19. Key Takeaways • Although not perfect, does it represent the best we have so far? • Is it the next step in an incremental approach to refining the standards and implementation guides? • Does it support our policy objectives? • Interoperability is not “one size fits all”: • Create modular standards and specifications that allow for innovation • i.e. Internet: we’re not building AOL; we’re creating the building blocks to make it possible for Facebook, Twitter, etc. to flourish • We are on a journey together!
