1 Federal and State Update John D. Halamka MD

2 NPRM Review The use of SNOMED-CT instead of ICD-10 for diagnosis. If the intent is to gather clinical data, SNOMED-CT is best. If billing classification is needed ICD-10 can be used. There needs to be some criteria of usability for data entry of diagnosis. When e-prescribing discharge medications, HL7 is often used inside an organization. The NPRM does not include an HL7 option. This may or may not be an issue because the NPRM does not describe workflows within an organization. The NPRM should include structured allergy vocabularies such as RxNorm for medications, UNII for individual ingredients, NDF-RT for categories, and SNOMED-CT for non-medications. Since RxNorm includes UNII and NDF- IT, RxNorm CUI codes may work for all. Transmission - the Workgroup recommended both SMIME/SMTP and SOAP be required For patient access to view/download/transport, the Workgroup recommended TLS for transport and CCDA for download. For Family history, the Workgroup highlighted the adoption of the Surgeon General's Family History XML Format and tools

3 NPRM Review Clarify Transport standards references Clarify intent of patient-accessible log Add certification criteria to secure channel for patient viewing and downloading; use same standards proposed for secure messaging with patients Change reference to limited set of users to authorized users Clarify that audit records may be purged after required retention period Adopt ASTM E , Standard Specification for Audit and Disclosure Logs for Use in Health Information Systems, as standard for defining auditable events and information to be recorded about those events rather than creating new standard language through a regulation Reduce specificity re how patient information may be appended 3

(Stage 1 was 50%, menu set) The EP, eligible hospital, or CAH that transitions or refers their patient to another setting of care or provider of care electronically transmits a summary of care record using certified EHR technology to a recipient with no organizational affiliation and using a different Certified EHR Technology vendor than the sender for more than 10 percent of transitions of care and referrals. (Stage 1 was one test)
