  1. TIA TR-49ICT Standards for HealthCare Communication Services Submission Date:July 1, 2008

  2. Overview • This new TIA Engineering Committee is dedicated to developing healthcare-related ICT standards • First task is focused on delivering services over services-enabled networks • e.g., The Internet Multi Media Subsystem (IMS) • TIA and Members of TR-49 also participate in the ANSI HealthCare Information Technology Standards Panel (ANSI HITSP) that was discussed at the GSC-12 meeting in Kobe • www.ansi.org/hitsp

  3. Strategic Direction • Our goal is to ensure the advanced communications networks of tomorrow supply rich, meaningful and important healthcare services • Leverage carrier investments in service enablement to improve healthcare • Initial activities include • Founding of the committee • Healthcare over Services- Enabled Networks Task

  4. Challenges • The healthcare industry tends to fragmentation and relatively low levels of automation • Applications are mission critical with high levels of QoS required and large consequences for failure • Successful solutions span a broad range of industry segments and government agencies

  5. Next Steps/Actions • Within the Services-Enabled Network Task we are following the high level plan diagrammed below

  6. Next Steps/Actions • The Committee is also reviewing any ICT HealthCare standards needs flowing from the report of the Joint Advisory Committee on Communications Capabilities of Emergency Medical and Public Health Care Facilities ("Joint Advisory Committee or JAC") which was established by the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information, U.S. Department of Commerce pursuant to the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (the "Act").   • The Joint Advisory Committee's mission was to examine the communications capabilities and needs of emergency medical and public health care facilities.  Specifically, the JAC was to assess: • Specific communications capabilities and needs of emergency medical and public health care facilities, including the improvement of basic voice, data, and broadband capabilities; • Options to accommodate growth of basic and emerging communications services used by emergency medical and public health care facilities; and • Options to improve integration of communications systems used by emergency medical and public health care facilities with existing or future emergency communications networks.

  7. Next Steps/Actions • As required by the Act, on February 4, 2008 (i.e., six months after the statute's enactment), the Joint Advisory Committee submitted a report on its findings to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and the House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce. • http://www.fcc.gov/pshs/advisory/jac/ • JAC Report to Congress http://energycommerce.house.gov/Press_110/JAC.Report_FINAL%20Jan.3.2008.pdf

  8. Proposed Resolution [optional] • Based on discussions at GSC-13
