PCC Roadmap

This page is being updated, please revisit soon for more information Aug 7, 2014

Overview

• Vision/Mission: This is our long term focus. It does not change except under very rare circumstances.

• Strategic Goals: These items constitute our medium term focus and do not necessarily represent any specific project or work efforts, but rather categorize what we focus on. These items are reviewed at least once annually, typically during the fall planning meetings.

• Action Ideas: These are more specific to projects that we are interested in pursing or already pursuing. This list is not necessarily always kept up to date and may be reviewed/updated multiple times per year. This is more of a landing area for new ideas and work items that our domain needs to track, hence the name "Action Ideas."

PCC Vision

The vision of Patient Care Coordination is to continually improve patient outcomes through the use of technology connecting patients and their care providers across healthcare disciplines and care paths.

PCC Mission

The mission of Patient Care Coordination is to develop and maintain interoperability profiles to support coordination of care for patients where care crosses providers, patient conditions and health concerns, or time.

Strategic Goals

• Content
  • Coordinate with external standards development organizations (SDOs) to develop and promote the use of content templates
  • Develop strategies to support multi-level content template guidance to benefit the global community
• Workflow
  • Develop new profiles by reaching outward to other IHE domains to coordinate workflows across care paths
  • Develop white papers by researching new areas that could benefit from standards based interoperability guidance
• Nursing
  • Explore and understand the benefit of IHE profile work in the nursing space by partnering with nursing organizations and initiatives
  • Develop profils and white papers to support and explore various nursing specific workflows
