OUR MISSIONImprove health by creating a vibrant, open ecosystem of interoperable applications.

5

Essential Functions of the Consortium

Select the standards for interoperable services

Standards for models, terminology, security, authorization, context sharing, transport protocols, etc.

Modeling: SNOMED, LOINC, RxNorm – FHIR Profiles – do it together

Provide testing, conformance evaluation, and certification of software

Gold Standard Reference Architecture and its Implementation We will work with an established company to provide this service

Implementation of the standard services by vendors against their database and infrastructure

Everyone does not have to do every service There must be a core set of services that enable a marketplace

Core Assumptions

‘The complexity of modern medicine exceeds the inherent limitations of the unaided human mind.’~ David M. Eddy, MD, Ph.D.

‘... man is not perfectible. There are limits to man’s capabilities as an information processor that assure the occurrence of random errors in his activities.’~ Clement J. McDonald, MD

We can’t keep up!

We have ~150 decision support rules or modules

We have picked the low hanging fruit

There is a need to have 5,000+ decision support rules or modules

There is no path from 150 to get to 5,000 unless we fundamentally change the ecosystem

18

19

Strategic Goal

Be able to share data, applications, reports, alerts, protocols, data entry screens, and decision support modules with anyone

Goal is “plug-n-play” interoperability

The cost of medical softwareBecker’s Health IT & CIO Review

Partners HealthCare: $1.2 billionBoston-based Partners HealthCare is one of more recent implementations, going live the first week of June to the tune of $1.2 billion. This is the health system's biggest investment to date. The implementation process took approximately three years, and in that time, the initial price tag of $600 million doubled.

Intermountain Medical Center $550 million

More Reasons

Every useful piece of software has to be created in each EHR systemAs a society, we pay the cost of creating all of

those copies of useful programs

Standardized FHIR APIs

35

The New Way

1. One copy can service many requests

2. Logic only needs to be installed in one place

3. No need to import the decision module to the local EHR

4. If standard FHIR APIs are implemented by vendors, the module can be used by any EHR

5. The decision support language does not need to be standardized, just the APIs for interactions

Q & A

Appendix

Characteristics of a new Ecosystem

Consistent and unambiguous data collection

Data stored and accessed through truly semantically interoperable services

Sharing of data for direct patient care, population based analytics, and research

Sharing of applications, executable clinical decision support and knowledge

40

What Is Needed to Enable a New Ecosystem?

Standard set of detailed clinical data models coupled with…

Standard coded terminology (SNOMED CT, LOINC, RxNorm, others)

Standard query language

Standard API’s (Application Programmer Interfaces) for healthcare related services

Open sharing of models, coded terms, and API’s

Sharing of decision logic and applications 41

HSPC Functions and Principles

43

Essential Functions of the Consortium

Select the standards for interoperable services Standards for models, terminology, security, authorization, context sharing,

transport protocols, etc. Modeling: SNOMED, LOINC, RxNorm – FHIR Profiles – do it together Publish the models, and development instructions openly, licensed free-for-

use

Provide testing, conformance evaluation, and certification of software Gold Standard Reference Architecture and its Implementation We will work with an established company to provide this service Fees that off set the cost of certification will be charged to those who

certify their software

Implementation of the standard services by vendors against their database and infrastructure Everyone does not have to do every service There must be a core set of services that enable a marketplace

44

Other Functions of the Consortium

Participation in “other” functions is optional for a given member Enable development “sandboxes”

Could be provided by companies or universities Could be open source or for-profit

Set up a vendor neutral and provider neutral “App Store” Many companies and provider organizaitons already have their own app stores Vendor certification that a given application can be safely used in their system Accommodate small companies or individuals that won’t have their own app

store

Create a business framework to support collaborative development Pre-agree on IP, ownership, co-investment, allocation of revenue Try to avoid unique contracts for each development project

Provide a way for people to invest (Venture capital)

HSPC is about more than just data virtualization

SOA Services Layers

46

• Support common UI Standards• Provide services for imbedding application in existing EMR/EHR

frameworks

UI

• Implement a multi-layered services architecture (SOA)• Support common Decision Support models (BPMN2/Drools)• Support common workflow models (BPMN2)• Data and vocabulary transformation Services• Context management services• Master Data Management Services• Identity Management Services

Orchestration of Services and Busines Layer

• Support FHIR/Restful Services models that support launch and forget applications and applications that support a full SOA services stack

• Deploy FHIR profiles in collaboration with Argonaut, the VA, Intermountain, Regenstrief, Mayo/ASU and LSU.

Data Virtualization

SOA Guiding Principles

47

Three tiered services model Maintain atomic services that are consistent in

performance and behavior Can be administered once in a framework Can be orchestrated under a true SOA governance Can be consumed by anyone implementing the HSPC

reference architecture Can be addressed by synchronous and asynchronous

service requests Are implementable out of the box Are supportable and documented to a standard Provide HSPC supported services as open source

Key Organizational Relationships (not

exhaustive)

ArgonautsDon’t know for sure

A call is planned to discuss the relationship

Work together on HIMSS demonstrations?

Work together to create industry wide consensus for profiles to be used for “true” interoperability?

HL7HSPC will use HL7 FHIR for data services

CIMI plans to become a part of HL7

HSPC will use HL7 as the forum for creating industry wide agreement about:Detailed profiles for true interoperabilityConsensus of professional and clinical bodies

about data that needs to be collected and shared (workflow or process interoperability)

SMARTHSPC will use SMART as a EHR integration

strategy

HSPC will work together with SMART on all activities of mutual interest

We will create a written document (MOU?) to describe the relationship between the two organizations

Center for Medical Interoperability

Work for support of CIMI and HSPC as part of C4MI technical programs

Possible activities Host a vendor and provider neutral app store Create a reference implementation of HSPC services Host a development sandbox Logistic support
