Reminders / Announcements • This meeting is being recorded. If you don’t wish to be recorded, please hang up now. • If you’re not speaking, please mute your line. • Please don’t put us on hold (though dance breaks are fun).
Mission As quickly as possible using proposed MU Stage 2 standards, enable providers to exchange patient information for referrals from their EHR workflow, regardless of the EHR systems and/or HISP services used (i.e., allowing information to move point-to-point between unaffiliated organizations, differing EHRs, and differing HISPs) and with at least the same quality of workflow integration providers currently experience when referring between homogeneous EHR systems.
Mission, cont’d • It’s not to demonstrate that it’s possible • We already know it’s technically possible • It’s to ensure that it’s clinically relevant and useful • It must be ‘good’ for real-world providers • It’s to ensure that it’s rapidly and widely deployable • If it’s ‘good’ but unavailable, it’s actually not good • Whenever possible reduce friction, add lubricant • Implies applying a high standard for adding ‘requirements’
About standards… • 360X is not a standards-making body • 360X is a workgroup for implementing existing standards in combination to advance ‘real-world’ interoperability • 360X will not re-litigate conversations around the normative specifications for existing standards in this forum • The existing standards are the standards… • 360X’s findings / observations / experimentation may inform other standards-making processes • Help to refine existing standards • Lead to the creation of new standards
360X Transport Workgroup • Key issues • Use of one (or more) trust frameworks? • This is a hurdle the community wants to get over… • Distribution of trust anchors / trust bundles • Obvious benefit in using a common approach and learning from trying it… • Need for enhanced quality of service? • Should 360X use MDN enhancement implementation guidance?
360X Provider Directory Workgroup • Currently drafting / reviewing / editing implementation guidance for this functionality • In 360X, limited PD scope to: • Internal PD query • External PD query • Query for address • Use of HPD+ minimum data set
360X Content Workgroup • Key issues • What’s the minimum bar for 360X content? • MUS1 / MUS2 requirements • Additional structured content (not required in MUS1/S2) • Additional unstructured content (images, PDFs, conversations, etc.) • Administrative / workflow content for referral management • Required/optional metadata? • Consensus seems to be building around keeping it simple and then allowing individual pilots to innovate • Baseline for everyone in 360X to ensure fundamental interoperability • Allow individual groups to try alternative approaches for optional content to gain first-hand experience by experimenting with different approaches • Incorporate lessons learned into subsequent implementation guides • Provide feedback to relevant standards-making bodies
Forming Pilot TeamsNow is the time……. • Composition of teams • Minimum: 2 providers, 2 EHR vendors, and 1 HISP • If one HISP, must demonstrate interop with another community • Ideal: >2 providers, >=2 EHR vendors, and >=2 HISPs • Once you assemble a team ……. • Let us know: participants (names/role), coordinator • Send to 360Exchange@statehieresources.org • Want to go to the dance but don’t have a partner? • Let us know too… we’ll start assembling a list on the wiki and playing matchmaker
Minimum Bar for Participation Baseline (mandatory) as currently proposed: • DIRECT-Enabled • Conforming to the Applicability Statement v1.1 • HISP/STA to HISP/STA trust certificate exchange • EHR workflow/solution enabled for referral process • Able to exchange baseline payload (MU1 and MU2) criteria • CCD/CDR or consolidated CDA • Ability to view payload – (data consumption is optional) • Ready to begin implementation NOW or near term (within next 3 months)
Are you an Over Achiever? Additional functionality for EXTRA credit • Enhanced referral management functions • Additional content types • Provider directory query • C-CDA consumption • Automated trust bundle exchange
