Roadmap Section: C. Individuals are empowered to be active managers of their health

Roadmap Category Relevant Roadmap Activity

C1. Cultural change for individuals including demanding and using their electronic information

3. Call to Action: Individuals should contribute clinically relevant PGHD and request corrections to their electronic information to effectively manage their interactions with the care and services delivery system and to manage their health and wellness where they live, work and play

4. Call to Action: Individuals and their extended care and service teams (including family and caregivers) should utilize care and service planning to capture individual goals and preferences as part of longitudinal health information used across care settings.

5. Call to Action: Individuals should regularly access and contribute to their health and wellness information in health IT, send and receive electronic information through a variety of emerging technologies and use the information to manage and participate in shared decision making with their care and service teams.

C2. Providers and technology developers supporting individual empowerment

5. ONC and government ensure that patients individuals understand their ability to access, send and receive health and wellness information.

6. Call to Action: Providers and technology developers should support the incorporation of PGHD in health care and services delivery

7. Call to Action: Technology developers should deploy innovative aggregation platforms and tools that allow individuals and caregivers to receive and compile health and wellness information from multiple sources in one place, send their data to a destination of their choose and find and use the information they need

8. Call to Action: Providers should welcome and use information from other providers to avoid duplication of tests and ensure coordinated care.

C3. Privacy and Security for Individuals

2. Call to Action: Providers should provide individuals with secure access to their own behavioral health information in a manner that is easy to use and enables them to make choices3. Call to Action: Individuals should be able to trust that their health and wellness information is protected and secure

C4. Education and digital health literacy for Individuals

1. Call to Action: Consumer advocacy groups in collaboration with government agencies, associations and payers should develop and disseminate resources based on consumer needs to assist individuals2. ONC, government and industry should work with individuals to help the majority understand the value of health IT for managing their health and wellness4. ONC and the industry should continue to provide individuals with relevant and updated resources based on current technology to assist with increasing their digital health literacy.



6

Roadmap Section: D. Care Providers partner with individuals to deliver high value care


D2. Providers Embrace a culture of interoperability and work with vendors and other supporting entities to improve interoperability

1. Call to Action: Providers should routinely expect electronic access to outside information in the provision of care and engage with other providers to send, receive, find and use health and related information for their patients.2. Call to Action: Providers should recognize that valuable clinical information about their patients may reside with patients or caregivers themselves

3. Call to Action: Providers and their organizations should embrace the use of enabling technologies such as publish/subscribe and query-based exchange with single sign-on to minimize workflow barriers4. Call to Action: Providers should routinely access and use health and wellness information from other sources, including individuals, when making clinical decisions7. Call to Action: Providers and their organizations should work with necessary parties to configure systems to alert providers to the presences of relevant information from other sources



7

Roadmap Section: D. Care Providers partner with individuals to deliver high value care


D7. Transparency of Value and engagement of patients, families, and caregivers

6. Call to Action: Providers should support consumer-facing services such as: Patient/Individual provided device data, screenings and assessments; integration of patient generated health data (PGHD) in the medical record; shared care and service planning8. Call to Action: Providers and individuals should work together to substantially reduce the burden of care coordination through person-centered tools and sharing and use of electronic information.



8

Roadmap Section: G. Consistent representation of permission to collect, share and use identifiable health informationRoadmap Category Relevant Roadmap Activity

G4. Technical standards for basic choice

1. ONC, standards development organizations (SDOs), health IT developers and appropriate stakeholders harmonize technical standards and implementation guidance for consistently capturing, communicating and processing basic choice across the ecosystem2. Technology developers implement technical standards and implementation guidance for consistently capturing, communicating and processing individual choice.


9

Roadmap Section: I. Stakeholder assurance that Health IT is interoperable


I2. Certification Programs

1. Health IT Developers, Accredited Certification Bodies (ACBs), Accredited Testing Labs (ATLs) and other stakeholders will analyze, identify gaps and provide feedback to ONC regarding certification criteria…specifically criteria to support health IT used in a broader set of health care settings such as home and community-based settings in non-institutional settings and behavioral settings.


10

Roadmap Section: J. Consistent Data Formats and Semantics


J3. Develop and pilot new standards for priorities

3. Standard Development Organizations (SDOs) will advance consumer-friendly terminologies

4. Health IT developers and SDOs advance systems in support of human-centered design for systems

5. Technology developers, providers and individuals will pilot data format and vocabulary standards in order to provide feedback to the SDOs for further refinement6. States and other stakeholders across the ecosystem to further explore and determine role of National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) in supporting health care and human services interoperability
