Domain Coordination Issues

Documentation, Websites and Public Information

1. IHE Support for Meaningful Use Objectives/Requirements

  • Joyce Sensmeier and Chris Carr led a discussion about questions that have arisen about how IHE supports requirements for Meaningful Use under HITECH act in the US
  • One purpose is to clarify and track information: use as guidance for future profile development
  • Outreach to certifying bodies about IHE's
  • Other organizations might wish to be involved NEMA-MITA (Rich Eaton)
  • Reviewers: John Rhoads, Keith Dreyer
  • Similar matrices could be developed for other national projects

2. HL7 Project Coordination Update

  • Liora Alschuler presented a proposed process for collaboration on the Health Story Project to develop narrative reports in HL7 CDA format
  • Health Story is a group of professionals that have an agreement with HL7 to develop consolidated implementation guides
  • Consolidation project, whose goal is to develop the simplest entry-level approach possible: compatible with CCD templates and IHE profiles
  • On the way toward approval as a formal HL7 project
  • Would address only IHE profiles that overlap with existing HL7 Implementation Guides (though it could address others in future)
  • Goal is to identify and address discrepancies and ambiguities in existing templates
  • Will create a single point of reference where there are now multiple, overlapping and sometimes conflicting references (eg, HITSP constructs, IHE profiles, and CDA implementation guides)
  • Frame of reference will be US healthcare; international guides may adhere to and adapt templates
  • Aiming for full draft in April with ballot in May
  • How to get involved:
  • Health Story seeking active participation and input from IHE representatives
  • Weekly meetings to start in January
  • Working on developing common header and body sections
  • Would like to establish official points of contact (Keith Boone has functioned in this role thus far)
  • Action Item: Co-chairs and other committee members invited to join ballot pool
  • Action Item: Liora to host webinar on the HL7 ballot process (for members and non-members)
  • Action Item: Liora to make presentation on Health Story Project to IHE PCC (Feb. 7-10) and DICOM WG-08 (Radiology Structured Reports) (Jan. 10)
