  2. Brief Project Summaries (Sept ‘08) Projects in Process Maven Program • CT EDSS – Construct Phase • New application (Maven) installed at DOIT 3/14/08. • First “module” in production 7/7/08. • Roll out of additional modules with end date 12/31/09. • CT EPHT – Construct Phase • Using same application as CT EDSS. • Testing Phase targeted for end of September 2008. • Production Phase targeted for October 2008. • Health Alert Network (HAN) – Design Phase • RFP posted in May 2008 resulted in 3 vendor responses. • None of vendors met RFP criteria. • New plan to build HAN functionality into Maven (for local health use) with alerting pieces to use Reverse 911 and Web EOC. • Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR) – Define Business Issues • Vendor default on CEDSS application also impacted ELR. • DPH must reassess project scope, timeline, resources, etc. Once these are defined, the project can transition to Business Requirements Phase. • ELR is part of Maven program as laboratory results for reportable conditions will be parsed into Maven. Maven is HL7 message receipt capable. • Messaging components will be leveraged for other projects.

  3. Brief Project Summaries (Sept ‘08) Projects in Process, cont. PHIN Messaging Program • PHIN MS – Implementation Phase • The PHIN Messaging System tool allows secure ebXML transport of information between public health partners. • PHIN MS will be used by DPH to send notifiable and other information to the CDC. • An upgrade to the existing PHIN MS application is available and needs to be implemented on staging and production at DOIT. • Orion Rhapsody™ - Construct Phase • The Rhapsody integration engine will allow DPH to transform message content so that information can be parsed with other applications, such at CT EDSS. • The first use of this system will be for Electronic Laboratory Reporting. • Installation on staging and production needs to be scheduled. • NEDSS Brokering Tool – Construct Phase • The CDC has constructed a message brokering tool for use with Rhapsody to allow DPH to map local codes to standardized vocabulary as part of message transformation. • Tool needs to be installed.

  4. Brief Project Summaries (Sept ‘08) Projects in Process, cont. • SDWIS – Design Phase • EPA provided application but architecture does not confirm with State Enterprise Wide Technical Architecture Standards. • Determined that DPH will host application (a major upgrade to existing SDWIS application) and replicate data to DOIT for public web piece. • Project underwent SDM review on July 22. DOIT has requested costing information be included for project. • Licensure -- Project has two phases: • Upgrade of Oracle database – Construct Phase • Upgrade of existing Oracle database at DPH to Oracle 10g. • Still in progress. • New application – Business Requirements Phase • Draft RFP being circulated. • Electronic Vital Record System – Define Business Issue Phase • Project has three inter-related phases with approved project charter. • Migration of birth data into a single database – birth data from 1959 – 2008 migration complete (at DPH) • On-line verification of vital events (EVVE) – EVVE application installed at DOIT and in implementation. • New application for Vital Records -- still in Define Business Issues phase.

  5. Brief Project Summaries (Sept ‘08) Projects ON HOLD • CIRTS – ON HOLD • Last build of application failed to perform as specified on DOIT platform and failed to delivery critical user functionality. • Project on hold while contracting agencies in discussion with vendor. • Laboratory LIMS – Business Requirements Phase • Contract negotiation still ongoing.

  6. PHIN Update • Public Health Information Network = a community of PH practitioners working to strengthen the business of public health by improving communication and working to implement modernized applications to improve PH infrastructure. • NOT just an IT project! • Emphasis on informatics training for staff. • CDC encouraging use of open source software, grid technology, SOA. • Vocabulary standards in keeping with HL7, AHIC, etc. • Newly implementing communities of practice concept for partner (federal, state, local) collaboration to achieve goals. • All states will be required to certify meeting PHIN requirements of messaging and security by 2010. • PH interaction with healthcare.

  7. Concerns • SDM implementation – impact on projects • Are all project staff trained and familiar with SDM? • How should SDM be applied to projects hosted in-house and at DOIT? • Hosting fee changes • Viability to maintain systems in doubt with lack of state funding and dropping federal funding. • Need to change platforms to be more cost effective? • How should these discussions be initiated given project timelines?
