Joint Content Tiger Team Meeting December 3, 2012
Agenda • Roll – Tom • Introductions - All • Context – Eric Heflin and John Donnelly
Introductions • John Donnelly and Eric Heflin are the Co-Chairs • Asked for broad participation including from all eHealth Exchange and IWG members
Problem • Many production care summary documents being exchanged today are insufficient • Current content standards are not implementation ready and are not interoperable due to extreme optionality • Absence of well defined test cases • Overall: lack of a single “target” for the industry
Impact • Lack of sufficient structured clinical content can compromise the core value proposition of healthcare information exchange • Lack of a single target makes it very difficult for vendors to select a viable content strategy • Virtually impossible for customers to specify and purchase precisely • Fragmentation is a real danger
Timing • Recent selection of CCHIT and AEGIS with a Dec 9th target Beta test date • Shall allow multiple current C-CDA approaches to be leveraged once completed
The Approach • Will be detailed during the Joint Content Tiger Team kick off discussion • Exchange participants use C-32 by policy with knowledge about real interop issues • IWG has created a field-level constrained content implementation specification • These will be harmonized with a coherent pathway leading to C-CDA
