  1. HL7-UK 2003 ConferenceHealthcare Interoperability Past Efforts-Present Benefits-Future Prospects Clement J. McDonald, M.D. December 11, 2003

  2. Work of many Regenstrief faculty • Mike Barnes, M.D. • Paul Dexter, M.D. • Burke Mamlin, M.D. • Mick Murray, PharmD. • Marc Overhage, M.D., Ph.D. • Susan Perkins, Ph.D. • Gunther Schadow, M.D. • Bill Tierney, M.D.

  3. Where we were in early 80’s • Building our own systems to collect data • Lab • Pharmacy • Scheduling system • Horrible batch and cobbled interfaces to collect data from other institutions systems

  4. What to do? • Impossible except for nutty people • We needed an easier way • Standards…

  5. Plea for standards help • 1981 1st rejection of grocer’s paper • 1983 (Jan.) Grocer paper published 1 • 1983 (Nov.) Plea for standards at fall SCAMC meeting 2 • 1984 (Nov.) A discussion of the draft proposal for data exchange standards for clinical laboratory results. 3 • McDonald CJ, Park BH, Blevins L. Grocers, physicians, and electronic data processing. AMA Cont Med Ed Newsletter 1983; 12:5‑8. • McDonald CJ. Standards for the transmission of diagnostic results from laboratory computers to office practice computers ‑‑ an initiative. Proc Annu Symp Comput Appl Med Care 1983; 123‑24. • McDonald CJ, Wiederhold G, Simborg DW. A discussion of the draft proposal for data exchange standards for clinical laboratory results. Proc Annu Symp Comput Appl Med Care 1984; 406‑13.

  6. 1984 SCAMC Fall Symposium • Panel Members: • Clement McDonald, M.D. • Gio Wiederhold, Ph.D. • Donald W. Simborg, M.D. • Ed Hammond, Ph.D. • Fredrick R. Jelovsek, M.D. • Ken Schneider, M.D.

  7. 1984 Proposal- Familiar? FIGURE 1 Patient 1 (general information about patient) Battery 1 (information about first battery reported/requested) Result 1 (information about the first result of battery 1) Result 2 (information about the second result of battery 1)    Result n (information about the last result of battery 1) Battery 2 (information about battery 2) Result 1 (information about the first result of battery 2) Result 2 (information about the second result of battery 2)    Result n (information about the last result of battery 2)    Battery n (information about the last battery for the first patient) Result 1 (information about the first result of the last battery) Patient 2 (all of the structure repeats)    Patient N

  8. Pleas answered • 1988 ASTM 1238-88 4 • 1989 HL7 published version 2.0 5 • 1990 SCAMC – Progress, Promises and the Conductors Wand 6 (4) Standard Specification for Transferring Clinical Laboratory Data Messages Between Independent Computer Systems. Annual Book of ASTM Standards; Philadelphia, PA, 1988. (5) Health Level Seven, Version 2.0. An application protocol for electronic data exchange in healthcare environments. Ann Arbor, Michigan: Health Level Seven, 1989. (6) McDonald CJ. Standards for the electronic transfer of clinical data: progress, promises, and the conductor's wand. Proc Ann Symp Comput Appl Med Care. 1990;14:9-14.

  9. Music & words 1990 • MIDI to orchestra what HL7 is to EMR

  10. 1995-2003 • Messages fairly good • Could get HL7 result messages working in 1-3 weeks • Vendors knew the standard • Most “BAD” messages due to conscious placement of right info in “wrong” field

  11. Example bad messages • Value, units, normal ranges, flags, and performance site put ALL in OBX-5 • Value and units both jammed into OBX-5 • OBX-5 says “see comment” - everything jammed into following NTE • Whole report (many test results) jammed into single OBX-5

  12. Life good but not perfect • Codes for the same question (observation) different every where • Need most-Standard question (observation) codes • If answer is text- all’s well • If answer is numeric - all’s well • If answer is a code (but come with text representation) – not perfect, OK

  13. LOINC standard for codes • First meeting – 1994 • Select group of interested parties • Mayo medical laboratories • CORNING MetPath (since merged with SHF to become Quest) • University of Washington • Indiana University/Regenstrief Institute • University of Utah (Intermountain Healthcare) • Veterans Administration • University of Ghent Belgium

  14. LOINC Actual • Identifies the observation (OBX3 and OBR4) • The question not the answer • First file distributed April 1995 (6000 terms) • Now 34,000 terms • Battery structures • Hierarchy • Synonym • Free Mapping and browsing program • Free for all uses – url: http://www.loinc.org/ McDonald CJ, Huff SM, Suico JG, Hill G, Leavelle D, Aller R, et al. LOINC, A Universal Standard For Identifying Laboratory Observations: A 5-Year Update. Clin Chem 49:4; 624-633

  15. Medical Records Without Standards [G]

  16. The present medical records with standards

  17. Wishard the oldest and the broadest coverage • Data beginning in 1972 • Since early 80’s • All laboratory data • All pharmacy (in patient and out) • All dictation • All diagnostic studies ( radiology, cardiac, etc) • Al encounters ( with DX's and procedures etc) • Coded clinical information from largest clinics ( OB and Medicine and med subspecialty • Since late 80’s • All- physician entered orders • Recently – Inpatient vitals, MD note entry, etc.

  18. Standards that support EMRsDisplay: courtesy of HTML and IP standards

  19. VISIT INFORMATION From registration system Courtesy of HL7 VITAL SIGNS DATA FROM AUTOMATIC BP- PULSE – TEMPERATUREcourtesy of HL7

  20. Chest x-ray 12 bit, 400 x 400 resolution

  21. Chest x-ray 12 bit, 1024 x 1247 resolution

  22. Chest x-ray 12 bit, 2048 x 2494 (full) resolution

  23. Radiology & images courtesy DICOM, JPEG, and JPEG2000

  24. Trade offs between JPEG and JPEG2000 • JPEG decodes much faster (5X) • JPEG Compresses “small” images (e.g. CT and MRI as well as JPEG200 • JPEG2000 compresses large films (chest x-rays) (2000 x 2700) 12 bit depth by 5 x better • Use JPEG for “small” CT and MRI images and JPEG 2000 for large plain films.

  26. Echo images Courtesy of Motion JPEG

  27. Scanned images • Courtesy of TIFF

  28. Telemedicine Courtesy of: • H232 • IPSEC • MPEG 1

  29. IT is ALL in the Standards • HL7 (most) • DICOM (to capture uncompressed images from PACS • NCDP (Prescriptions from outpatient pharmacy • JPEG , JPEG 2000 for storing clinical images in Clinical Repository • IP (Everywhere) • JPEG, MPEG 1 • Code Standards Currently Used: • CPT • ICD • LOINC • CDO-3

  30. Guard Rails • Improve preventive care from 30% to 400% over control state (1) • Improve drug dosing and reduce errors in drug prescribing • Increase required corollary orders 5%-64% (e.g. test Vancomycin levels when giving Vancomycin) 1.

  32. Physician Order entry- (POE)

  33. Computer based POEGopher order entry • Were first to succeed with order entry • 20 million orders at Wishard since 1986 • POE provides better options for delivering influencing patient care • Even non fixed (not patient specific) content can have an effect

  34. Gopher physician Users

  35. Cost Savings CHF example

  37. City Wide RMRS Functions • CARE deliver clinical information when needed for emergency care (NLM supported study) • Public health seek out reportable conditions from laboratory data evidence, equivalence duplicate cases, organize and deliver to public health • Research molecular biologic epidemiology through Pathology samples ( National Cancer institute
