2. The Problem

Chronic Disease Management

(13 votes) (overwhelming Canadian support) Steve: Two different approachs:

  1. Registry of patients with Chronics Diseases
    • Collection of statistics,
  2. Active Disease Management
    • Ensure enforcement of regime (see HL7 order sets)

3. Key Use Case

<Describe a short use case scenario from the user perspective. The use case should demonstrate the integration/workflow problem.>

Somebody defines a protocol for disease management. Systems need to be initialized with this protocol. It will look like: 1. Diagnosis: does the patient fit the Chronic disease profile? Y/N/maybe later? Identify the person that we will track. 2. Disease registry: registry, maybe composed of flags in patient health records identifying them as patients whose data need to be tracked 3. Determine which data elements need to be tracked 4. Gather X data elements about the patient

Generalize this to a more general protocol, not just data gathering. FHTs (family health teams) get bonuses for following predefined steps.

See: protocol insertion proposal from last year

  1. A Canadia Healthcare Scenario.

<Feel free to add a second use case scenario demonstrating how it “should” work. Try to indicate the people/systems, the tasks they are doing, the information they need, and hopefully where the information should come from.>


4. Standards & Systems

<List existing systems that are/could be involved in the problem/solution.>

  • ____ Information System
  • ____ Information System

ALL: Practice management, EHR, Pharmacy, Cardioligy information system, RIS, PACs, ADTs, PIX managers, XDS repository - CDM is the "ultimate user of EHR"

<If known, list standards which might be relevant to the solution>

  • HL7 CDA Release 2.0
  • HL7 Version 3
  • HL7 Arden Syntax
  • SNOMED CT
  • HL7 CTS
  • LOINC
  • ICD9/ICD10
  • DICOM / WADO

5. Discussion

<Include additional discussion or consider a few details which might be useful for the detailed proposal>

<Why IHE would be a good venue to solve the problem and what you think IHE should do to solve it.>
<What might the IHE technical approach be? Existing Actors? New Transactions? Additional Profiles?>
<What are some of the risks or open issues to be addressed?>


<This is the brief proposal. Try to keep it to 1 or at most 2 pages>
