Applying the XDS profile - Best Practice in Austria World of Health IT 2007 IHE-Europe Session, Vienna Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Alexander SchannerProgram-Manager 23.10.2007
Agenda Introduction ELGA = Austrian’s EHR XDS in Lower Austria IHE Austria
Task Force Electronic Health Record - Arge ELGA - Arbeitsgemeinschaft Elektronische Gesundheitsakte • Decision of Federal Health Commission (BGK) from July 2006 concerning establishment of Arge ELGA and financial remuneration • Working basis of Arge ELGA is an agreement between • Federal Government • Provinces and • Social Insurance Institutions • Since September 2006 ARGE ELGA is acting operationallyLocation: A-1020 Vienna, Schiffamtsgasse 15
Object of Arge ELGA according to Agreement The objective of the ELGA Task Force is to drive the connectionof existing and future electronic information and documentation systems in the Austrian health care system within the scope of a multi-project management.

Implemetation – preliminary planning 2006: • February to June 2006: Preparation of Arge ELGA (contract) • 28. June 2006: Decision about contract Arge ELGA • Summer/Autumn: Feasibility Study • September 2006: Arge ELGA is operational 2007: • January: Publication of Feasibility Study ELGA • Dec 06 – Feb 07: Architecture plan for the first implementation phase • March / April: Consultation with Stakeholders • 4.5.2007 – BGK: Acceptance of architecture plan, standards and commissioning of first implementation phase • Masterplan and Roadmap
Federal Health Agency (BGK) – decision (1/3) ELGA Architecture consists of the following basic components • Master Patient Index • Health Service Provider (HSP) Index • Registry • Authorization System • Portal ELGA provides in the first phase of implementation the core applications • discharge Summary • e-Report - radiology • e-Report - laboratory • e-Medication
Federal Health Agency (BGK) – decision (2/3) International standards for ELGA in Austria: • IHE Frame-Work with domain • IT Infrastructure • Patient Care Coordination • Laboratory • Radiology • HL7 CDA 2.0 as document standard • LOINC (area Laboratory data) • DICOM 3.0 incl. WADO (area radiology) • HL7 (in Version 3 with RIM as prospective data model)
Federal Health Agency (BGK) – decision (3/3) Detailed planning and first piloting (2007 / 2008) • Concretion Basic Components and Master Plan (IBM-Follow-Up Mission) Mai to August 2007 • Project 1 – Master Patient Index • Project 2 – HSP Index • Project 3 – Document Registry • Project 4 – Authorization System • Project 5 – Portal • Project 6 – Main Application first phase of implementation • Project 7 – Acceptance Management Acceptance of each project after the presentation of an organizational and financial concept through BGK

Interoperability – Standards and Catalogs • Technical (syntactical) interoperability • Content wise (semantical) interoperability Requirement: Assortment of international standards • Standards rise quality and reduce costs! • Standards promote competition!
Why Standards ? Standard Non Standard HIS Patient Identify Source Patient Identify Source HIS Consumer Consumer Registry Registry Source Source Repository Repository IHE conform: easy to replace Vendors not IHE conform: no replacement of Vendors possible
