Proposals Review

• ED Bed Management
  • need to automate the process to support coordination - coordinate the hospital staff and resources
  • need to be able to do analytics
  • interaction with other systems - patient registration, bed management, staffing, EHRs - all these systems have to communicate
  • many folks who end up admitted to the hospital start in the ED
  • lack of interoperability causes inefficiency
  • this profile will increase the interoperability between systems which will reduce delays, errors and increase utilization of the facility resource and improve patient care
  • considered FHIR - however, none of the current systems implementation support FHIR today. Propose use of HL7 V2 rather than FHIR
  • suggestion to make this generic enough to be used at a departmental level not solely for ED
  • why is this important? Identification that this is big gap.
  • can serve as jumping off point to incorporate intra-facility transfers
  • cost savings with improvement in patient wait time; improved care outcomes
  • support predictive modeling in terms of admission - why are patients coming into the ED
  • continue participation from the students
  • call the profile "Bed Management Profile" acronym suggest 'BED'
  • Implementability - using existing stuff. No new messages
  • core content is already written - lot more content but straight forward ADT content.

• Cardiology Consult and Pathology Board
  • improves interaction between multidisciplinary and dynamic team of healthcare professional
  • currently, xds profile is not sufficient to support this workflow
  • Aim to define a standardize workflow to support and manage the dynamic heart team
  • suggestion is to change the profile title to cardiology dynamic care team
  • solves communication and sharing of information issues and support dynamic enrollment of care team members
  • XDW, XDS/DSUB
  • review of the use cases

• Dynamic Care Planning

Housekeeping

• BPMN (still have meetings scheduled)
• CP updates
