3. In 2005, HHS awarded contracts to seed a public-private effort to build a nationwide health information network

4. The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) American Health Information Community The Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC) Nationwide Health Information Network Architecture Projects(NHIN) A public-private “Community” was then established to serve as the focal point for America’s health information concerns and drive opportunities for increasing interoperability HITSP includes 351 different member organizations and is administered by a Board of Directors 24 SDOs (7%) 248 Non-SDOs (71%) 30 Govt. bodies (9%) 13 Consumer groups (3%) 36 Project Team and Undeclared (10%) The Community is a federally-chartered commission and will provide input and recommendations to HHS on how to make health records digital and interoperable, and assure that the privacy and security of those records are protected, in a smooth, market-led way.

5. The HITSP team is charged with completing eleven different tasks, with current efforts focused on the harmonization process Eleven Tasks are included in this contract: • Comprehensive Work Plan • Conduct a Project Start Up Meeting • Deliver Recommended Use-Cases • Participate in related meetings and activities, including the AHIC Meetings • Develop a Gap Analysis • Standards Selection, Evaluations and Testing • Define a Harmonization Approach • Develop Interoperability Specifications • Develop and Evaluate a Business Plan for the self-sustaining processes • Submit Monthly Reports – ongoing efforts • Assist with communications – ongoing efforts The Community HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt, Chair HHS ONCHIT1 PO, Dr. John Loonsk HITSP Dr. John Halamka, Chair Member populated Technical Committees Project Management Team Executive in Charge, F.

6. HITSP formed Technical Committees to focus on AHIC breakthrough areas - Initial focus is on 4 use cases Current HITSP Focus • Biosurveillance -- Transmit essential ambulatory care and emergency department visit, utilization, and lab result data from electronically enabled health care delivery and public health systems in standardized and anonymized format to authorized public health agencies with less than one day lag time. • Consumer Empowerment -- Deploy to targeted populations a pre-populated, consumer-directed and secure electronic registration summary. Deploy a widely available pre-populated medication history linked to the registration summary. • Electronic Health Records -- Deploy standardized, widely available, secure solutions for accessing laboratory results and interpretations in a patient-centric manner for clinical care by authorized parties. • Emergency Response EHR – Describes the role that an emergency responder electronic health record, comprising at minimum demographics, medication, allergy and problem list information, can be used to support emergency and routine health care activities.

10. HITSP Technical Committees Terms of Reference • Perform high level Requirements Analysis and Design of HITSP Interoperability Specifications, transaction packages, transactions, components, constructs including requirements analysis, and minimum data set. • Identify and analyze gaps and duplications within the standards industry as they are related to each specific Use Case. • Provide a description of the gaps, including missing or incomplete standards. • Provide a description of the duplications, overlaps, or competition among standards for the relevant Use Case. • Review and scope statements of work for each new use case. • Provide a listing of all standards that satisfy the requirements imposed by the relevant use cases as well as readiness criteria that shall be used to evaluate the standard. • Select and evaluate recommended standards to meet the relevant Use Case. • Develop, review and evaluate ‘interoperability specifications’ for the selected standards. • Submit recommendations to HITSP for review, approval and resolution. • Ensure timely response and disposition of comments. • Ensure on-going process for addressing corrections/change requests and resolutions.

11. Security and Privacy Technical Committee Terms of Reference/Charter • Harmonize HITSP standards for EHR-Lab reporting, Population Health and Consumer Empowerment with relevant Security and Privacy standards, including the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules, and basic consents, where appropriate. • Assemble HITSP Security and Privacy Work Group (SPWG) with adequate representation from each TC. • Convene regular meetings of the SPWG to review current Interoperability Specifications and identify areas of Security and Privacy that were deferred. • Begin work on identifying security standards, approaches, and identifying unresolved issues (e.g. policy issues). Leverage activities of other Security and Privacy related workgroups. • In developing Security and Privacy related content, it will be important to maintain traceability on how existing and emerging HITSP constructs may be affected.

12. Emergency Responder EHR Use Case • Under the leadership of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, an Emergency Responder EHR Use Case has been developed and prioritized for the attention of the Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) and the other ONC initiatives. • The Use Case describes the role of an Emergency Responder Electronic Health Record, comprising at a minimum demographic, medication, allergy and problem list information, that can be used to support emergency and routine health care activities. • The Use Case will leverage the work in related activities from the HITSP Care Delivery Technical Committee and elsewhere. The HITSP process strives to involve a broad base of participants. • As we proceed into the second year of the standards harmonization process, this Use Case will be a core Work Program activity of the HITSP Care Delivery Technical Committee. From time to time the Technical Committee may assign tasks to workgroups under it’s direction.

16. HITSP Definition of a Standard • A standard specifies a well-defined approach that supports a business process and: (1) has been agreed upon by a group of experts; (2) has been publicly vetted; (3) provides rules, guidelines, or characteristics; (4) helps to ensure that materials, products, processes, and services are fit for their intended purpose; (5) is available in an accessible format; and (6) is subject to an ongoing review and revision process.

17. Tier 1 Standards Readiness Criteria • The standards required to support each major Use Case event were organized within an agreed upon standards taxonomy • The standards selected for inclusion in the pool were examined using ‘HITSP approved’ Tier 1 and Tier 2 Harmonization Readiness Criteria

18. Tier 2 Standards Readiness Criteria • Suitability • The standard is named at a proper level of specificity and meets technical and business criteria of use case • Compatibility • The standard shares common context, information exchange structures, content or data elements, security and processes with other HITSP harmonized standards or adopted frameworks as appropriate • Preferred Standards Characteristics • Approved standards, widely used, readily available, technology neutral, supporting uniformity, demonstrating flexibility and international usage are preferred • Standards Development Organization and Process • Meet selected criteria including balance, transparency, developer due process, stewardship and others. • Total Costs and Ease of Implementation • Deferred to future work

19. HITSP receives Use Cases and Harmonization Requests from external sources, such as AHIC and ONC. The Use Case or Request defines scenarios, business actors, and business and functional/interoperability requirements. HITSP decomposes the Use Case requirements into scenario(s) and then into transactions providing context: technical actors, actions and content. It may create or reuse a transaction or a grouping of transactions (transaction package) based on commonality at this level. Transactions are logical groupings of actions that are decomposed into components, which are groupings of base standards that work together, such as message and terminology. Each HITSP construct, i.e., transaction package, transaction or component, may constrain the construct or standard below it. Constraints follow a strict hierarchy and are only imposed by the next higher construct. Transaction packages, transactions and components all are potential candidates for reuse if a new set of requirements and context are successfully fulfilled by the existing construct. While reuse is a HITSP goal, it is established in the context of a Use Case and its functional/interoperability requirements. HITSP constructs are version controlled and, if reused, will be uniquely identified. HITSP FrameworkBasis for Interoperability Specification Template
