Overview of Projects to be Addressed
- Post Partum Visit Summary: Care of woman in office and baby in hospital is done. Work to be done this year is the care of mom between discharge and first post partum office visit.
- APR/LDR Completion: Docuemnts sent out on Friday. Antepartum and intrapartum have been worked on over last couple of years - nead a way to tie these together. Current profile work will finish out the linking and grouping of the profiles
- Nursing Summary - Goal this year is to focus on transfers of care, the many transfers of care between nursing and with other discipliens. Elements needed for shift report, unit transfers, facility transfers etc. Some international connections being pulled in for collaboration.
- Chronic Care Coordination: There are organizations that are forming to support patients with chronic conditions (facility, state, national). The would like to be able to communicate the plan of care between all sites and providers and updates to the plan reflecting care performed and findings at each touchpoint. Project suggested by IHE Australia. Project should tie with Care Management.
- PCC Profile Temaplate Update: Have used the ITI template in the past. Tone has updated a version more applicable to PCC. Will review this proposed template
- Workflow Profile: Would like to take all the peices created by IHE and tie them into a workflow. Starting with perinatal care as the first pilot for the work.
- Newborn Discharge Summary: another extension of the ACOG prenatal summary and the maternal L&D record. will focus on normal newborns. Will coordinate data and models already provided in other profiles and adjunct with neccessary items for the normal newborn record. Will be coordinating with the work happening with HL7 (they have a larger scope and are looking at the more complicated cases).
- Joint meeting with QRPH: Will be looking at cross over between projects. Will also address the need to look at only certain issues at times (problems, meds etc.) Address the need for "minimum required".
