Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) Tracking of Emergency Patients (TEP) August 25, 2010 Presentation to the: OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee Dial in: 1-888-325-3989 pass code: 561413 # Attendee URL: https://www323.livemeeting.com/cc/eiip/join?id=DHSOICSWG
Current Status • PRESENTATION PURPOSE: OASIS Outreach and Education on the draft Standard – questions at the end • Practitioner Submission to EIC May 14, 2010 • Practitioner Submission to OASIS June 8, 2010 • TEP Voted within OASIS as a Work Product June 22, 2010 • TEP Sub-committee Created Within EM-TC subcommittee & Chairs Voted in (T. Grapes / D. McGarry) August 2010 • Plan to Engage Sub-Committee Work Beginning of Oct. • MOU in-progress between OASIS and HL7 for standard collaboration • Interagency MOU in-progress (privacy, adoption etc.)
Background – TEP & TEC Messaging Standards • The NASEMSO with many other agencies and organizations recognized the need for standards-based interoperability to realize the potential of the numerous patient tracking systems in existence or planned • Introduced TEP to the DHS S&T Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC), sponsor of the EDXL development process – a mature, proven process for developing cross-profession, practitioner-driven messaging standards • Effort was Initiated by the PSG as the next EDXL Priority • Helps close HITSP ER-EHR IS04 Gaps • Supports HHS & DOD AHRQ Objectives
TEP & TEC Messaging Standards • Requirements definition for Tracking of Emergency Patients and Tracking of Emergency Clients is occurring in two phases. TEP is in-process with the Practitioner Steering and Working Groups (PSG / SWG). • Phase I - Tracking of Emergency Patients (TEP): An XML standard for exchange of emergency patient and EMS tracking information; to increase the effectiveness of emergency medical management, patient tracking and care, and family notification. • Phase II - Tracking of Emergency Clients (TEC): Expands Phase I scope to support clients across the general population. TEC is aimed at more effective evacuation and services management, client tracking, Regulation, Re-unification, and use of assets for all Emergency clients. Client: Generic term for any person displaced, evacuated, sheltering in place, expired, and/or requiring medical attention – i.e. Clients or customers of Emergency Services Patient: A type of client requiring medical attention, being medically evaluated; or a fatality .
TEP Scope • EDXL-TEP is an XML messaging standard for exchange of emergency patient and tracking information across the EMS emergency medical care continuum. • TEP provides real-time information to responders, management and care facilities in the chain of emergency care and transport. • Emergency / Disaster EMS, ED / Hospitals / Care Facilities, Emergency Management, Ops, Dispatch, Command • Patient tracking information is exchanged from patient encounter (possibly re-using dispatch information) through admission or release. • TEP also supports hospital evacuations and day to day patient transfers.

Draft EDXL-TEP interoperability pilot inserted into the 2010 National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) Patient Movement Full-Scale Exercise, with follow-on analysis and presentation A live exercise using volunteer patients, driven by objectives of federal, state and local agencies and NDMS partner hospitals. DHS OIC pilot the draft EDXL-TEP specification in a field exercise before submitting to the standards approval process A hurricane makes landfall resulting in mass casualties requiring evacuation and medical treatment. Patients were tracked utilizing five independent Patient Tracking systems from Maryland's BWI airport, to a Memphis triage area where an actual C-130 landed and deplaned patients. Patients were then tracked through triage and ambulance boarding, through arrival at one of 5 Memphis area hospitals. Patient registration timeframes dramatically reduced – hours to 30 minutes First Electronic Patient Manifest for TN Air National Guard Tennessee NDMS Patient Movement Exercise
