• Increase patient safety
• Lower Healthcare costs
• Allow for coordination of care
• Increase communication between providers
• Banking analogy
Health IT Activities Over the YearsHealth IT Activities Over the Years
• Selected activities to drive interoperability and standardization of health information technology:
– 1996 – The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) enacted
– 1998 – The National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS) espoused a national health information infrastructure to promote American health
– 2002 – Markle Foundation forms the Connecting For Health initiative that assembled public/private leadership in healthcare to promote common electronic standards
Health IT Activities Over the YearsHealth IT Activities Over the Years
• Selected activities to drive interoperability and standardization of health information technology:
– 2003 – The Federal Health Architecture (FHA) is established in the HHS Office of the Chief Information Officer and is tasked with defining a framework and methodology for establishing the target architecture and standards for interoperability and communication throughout the federal health community
– 2003 – President Bush signs the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act (MMA) allowing CMS to establish key infrastructure for health information technology such as e-prescribing
Office of the National Office of the National Coordinator for Health ITCoordinator for Health IT
Established by Executive Order 13335 (April 27, 2004)
• Responsible for realizing the President’s vision of Health IT:– Widespread adoption of interoperable
EHR within 10 years– Medical information follows consumer– Clinicians have complete, computerized patient information– Quality initiatives measure performance and drive
quality-based competition– Public health and bioterrorism surveillance are seamlessly
integrated into care
GoalsGoals
• Develop a nationwide health information network (NHIN)
• Establish standards for data transfer and storage:– Continuity of care records
• Develop Regional Healthcare Information Organizations (RHIOs)
• See article: Burton, et al. Using electronic health records to help coordinate care. Milbank Quarterly. V(82);457-81. 2004
Status of Regional Health Status of Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO)Information Organization (RHIO)
• Universally agreed-on medical vocabulary• Principled and standard formats for
laboratory data, medical images, medical record…
• Standardization of medical literature formats--structured abstracts
• Health care standards -- treatment guidelines
• Standards for health data exchange

Patient: John DoeMRN: 123-0Diagnosis: 410.0WBC: 14,000/cm3
• Current– HL7 messages for most lab data– DICOM messages for images– LOINC for laboratory results content– CPT-4 for procedures content– ICD-9 for diagnoses content (10 coming)– NDC ▬► RxNorm for medication content
• Anticipated medical vocabulary– SNOMED/UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers for
microbiology content
