Transcription

1 INTEGRATING THE HEALTHCARE ENTERPISE Interoperability and IHE : solutions for user problems IHE-Europe Europe Connectathon Workshop Charles Parisot,, GE Healthcare, IT Infrastructure co-chair chair 1

2 Or,. Realizing the promise of standardized information exchange in health 2

3 Connecting standards to reality and care delivery Care providers, authorities and IT professionals work with solutions developers to coordinate the implementation of standards to meet their needs Care providers identify the key interoperability problems they face Drive industry to develop and make available standardsbased solutions Implementers follow common guidelines in purchasing and integrating systems that deliver these solutions More than 300 IHE members/stakeholders work together in an open and transparent way to advance practical interoperability

4 Standards Adoption Process Develop technical specifications Identify available standards ( standards (e.g. HL7, DICOM, IETF, OASIS) Testing at Connectathons IHE Demonstrations Products with IHE Document Use Case Requirements Timely access to information Easy to integrate products 4

5 The IHE Development Domains Pharmacy NEW Years of Steady Evolution Pathology since 2006 Radiology since 1998 Cardiology since 2004 Eye Care since 2006 Laboratory since 2004 Quality Research & Public Health since 2006 (Healthcare) IT Infrastructure since 2003 Radiation Oncology since 2004 Patient Care Devices since 2005 Patient Care Coordination since

8 An Alternative? Have each project selects s independently their standards: The same requirement addressed with a different mix of standards in different projects Large effort and time needed for detailed interoperability specifications (12 to 24 months, several man years) Even larger effort to develop custom conformance test tools, and organize own testing efforts (many man years). Initial implementation cost are very high, and on-going costs only increase. No reuse benefit from other ehealth projects. Projects shall drive their own requirements but address them by reusing as much as possible robust standards- based profiles specifications 8

9 Professional societies: IHE Sponsors Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) British Institute of Radiology (BIR), British Computer Society (BCS( German Radiology Society (DRG) GMSIH (IT France), SFIL (laboratory), French National Project (DMP) European Society of Cardiology Many other European Societies Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) American College of Physicians (ACP), American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) Many other American healthcare societies (ACCE), (AAO), (ASTRO), etc. JAHIS (IT Japan), JIRA, JRS.Many other Japanese Societies And many more.

13 IHE Solutions Cross-Enterprises Leverage established standards to allow rapid deployment and plan for future Pragmatic, Ease of Evolution Enable architectural freedom (patient vs. provider centric, centralized vs. decentralized, scalable (from office to enterprise to IDN to Regional and National Networks) Configuration flexibility Support breakthrough use cases: variety of care settings, care coordination, public health, PHR, EHR Interoperability for broad constituencies IHE: Offers consistent, standards-based record sharing for EHRs and other information systems 13

14 Principles for a Regional/National ehealth Network 1. Set a standards based boundaries with stable/proven/unambiguous interoperability specifications (profiles of well accepted standards): Health Information Sharing Infrastructure 2. Keep things simple and robust within the standards-based boundary (365x24 availability, costs, new use cases, etc.). Create your own boundary or leverage IHE profiles? IHE Profiles come with testing tools, process, shared experience, open source, a broader community, multi-vendor and stability

15 IHE Based Health Info Exchange IHE supports these requirements: To meet the needs of the various stakeholders With a wide array of standards to reduce cost and accelerate deployment of HIEs With flexibility to accommodate a wide range of architectures and business models across the world No rip and replace of edge systems, different levels of interoperability Ensure reuse of implementations, sharing of experience Forward looking way to enable interconnection into a National Health Information Network Allowing increasingly sophisticated security and privacy protections

16 Registering Health Records:IHE-XDS Community Hospital Record Repository of Documents Clinic Record 1-Reference to records Specialist Record Repository of Documents Clinical IT System Index of patients records Health Info Exchange Clinical Encounter 16

17 Access to Shared Records : IHE-XDS Community Clinic Record Hospital Record Repository of Documents 3-Records 4-Patient data Returned presented to Physician Specialist Record Repository of Documents Clinical Encounter Clinical IT System Aggregate Patient Info HIE Index of patients records 2-Reference to Records for Inquiry 17

18 Health Information Exchanges Interoperability: Cross-enterprise Document Sharing Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing simplifies clinical data management by defining interoperable infrastructure. Transparency = Ease of Evolution Patients have guaranteed portability and providers may share information without concerns of aggregation errors. Digital Documents = Patients and providers empowerment Supports both centralized and decentralized repository architectures. Ease of federation nationally. Flexible privacy, Flexibility of configurations Addresses the need for a longitudinal healthcare data (health records). Complements to interactive workflow or dynamic access to data. 18
