  3. Appendix: Workgroup Charges

  4. Steering Committee Charge DRAFT • Coordinate and review HITPC policy recommendations to charge HITSC workgroups • Define the standards problems/options posed by the HITPC • Assure that all stakeholder interests are integrated across all workgroups • Assure overall coordination across HITSC workgroups • Report outcomes back to appropriate HITPC workgroups for continuity

  5. Semantic Standards Charge DRAFT • Assure a consistent approach to semantics standards for CEHRT • Identify existing standards (vocabularies and/or information models) that can be leveraged for other uses, while ensuring consistent semantic standards across all use cases • Identify semantic standards requirements for CEHRT • Evaluate new standards or approaches (vocabularies and information models) for representing semantics • Recommend a strategy for maintaining a consistent and sustainable approach to semantic standards • Assure consistent linking of semantic standards and content standards

  6. Content Standards Charge DRAFT • Evaluate current content standards and propose incremental improvements that achieve greater interoperability • Recommend an appropriate balance between optionality and constraints in content standards • Provide recommendation on key standards initiatives, some examples may include: • recommendations regarding FHIR in future HIT standards • support for common data elements (CDEs) • used across use cases • granular data expression • promote structured approaches for patient interventions • genomic data • consumer activity • Evaluate systems and standards that are resilient to big data approaches • Develop a strategy that can accommodate the movement from document-centric standards to data-centric standards

  7. Transport and Security Charge DRAFT • Support standards for security and transport in certification criteria • Support alignment with the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) • Support standards, examples may include: • securing data at rest • security for application programming interfaces and RESTful approaches that support modular application integration • data segmentation for privacy • digital signature

  8. Architecture, Services and Application Program Interfaces (APIs) Charge DRAFT • Promote the migration to platform independence “application programming interfaces” (APIs) that allow third-party programmers to bridge from existing systems to a future software ecosystem that will be built on top of the stored data • Determine API architectural framework (e.g. presentation layer, middleware layer, semantic layer, data layer, security layer) • Develop an incremental API strategy for open APIs to Standardized APIs • Support migration from interoperability based on “what to build” (specifications) to interoperability based on “how to use” (APIs) • Determine use cases for API portfolio • Be opportunistic in moving toward more APIs, e.g. Leverage the Data Access Framework and Provider Directory activities

  9. Implementation, Certification and Testing Charge DRAFT • Review implementation challenges with existing standards and provide recommendations for how to improve existing standards and testing • Recommend testing methods that support the goals of interoperability and information exchange • Establish recommendations for how to test workflow and usability • Evaluate sustainable and inclusive approaches to certification and test method development
