  1. Provider Directories- Technical Activities Update Nagesh Bashyam 1/16/2014

  2. Background • Which standard should a vendor implement ? • IHE HPD or IHE HPD with CP 601 • HPDPlus v1.0 or v1.1 • ModSpec Provider Directory (Federated HPD?)

  3. Comparison of Standards • Data Model • IHE HPD is the data model based on ISO 21091 • HPD Plus v1.0 , v1.1 and IHE HPD CP 601 try to add the data elements identified by S&I Provider Directory Initiative (ESI) • Federated HPD (ModSpec PD) uses the same data model as HPDPlus • Web Interface (WSDL) • WSDL is similar and compatible between IHE HPD and HPD Plus versions • Federated HPD WSDL is slightly different from the base WSDL and hence is not backward compatible

  4. NYeC Pilots • ONC Exemplar HIE Governance program awarded NYeC project to conduct Provider Directory pilots examining federation and implementation challenges in the PD space • Environment scan and Actual pilots identified • PD Implementations are just starting, none of the existing standards is widely implemented • Implementations differ from each other in terms of standards and technologies • Pilots • Snowbird Pilot • California Pilot • NATE Pilot • NY Pilot • Feedback • Confusion about standards (Need a single standard to implement!!) • When the same standards were used the same value sets were not being used consistently (Need complete definition of value sets that are applicable) • Needed ONC ModSpec activity to be adopted by IHE • Most federated solutions are one-off and not adopting a standard • Complex queries are cumbersome in the existing standards

  5. ONC/IHE Harmonization Activities • ONC Presented Federated HPD to IHE ITI Planning Committee in Fall 2013 • IHE approved a project to bring Federated HPD under IHE umbrella but as a US specific profile • ONC working with IHE to create the Federated HPD as a US specific profile • Had public calls with community and implementers • After long discussions, the community is going forward with the Federated HPD work as it currently exists to solicit feedback • IHE New Directions Connectathon established for end of January to test Federated HPD and gather technical feedback • Participants will get an opportunity to showcase the test results at HIMSS New Directions Showcase.

  6. Test Tools • ONC publishing the PD Sandbox on SITE • http://sitenv.org • Forum to ask questions • Test Tool to help implementers test their • Provider Information Directory • Provider Information Consumer • Provide a federation partner as necessary
