Vision of Interoperability Jamie Ferguson, Stan Huff, Cris Ross
Evolu&on of Interoperability As HIE evolves, the interoperability framework standards advance for reliable exchange and data integra=on across the na=on. No EMR EHR Direct Email Exchange Interoperability Rochester and surrounding counties Entire state of Maine Santa Cruz County East & West Washington NE Oregon North Idaho West Montana Minnesota Florida Indiana Massachusetts Hudson Valley region MDs, RNs Patients MDs, RNs California Colorado Hawaii Georgia Mid-Atlantic States Northwest Ohio West Colorado East Utah Oklahoma Cincinnati Northern Kentuky Central Virginia Hampton Roads Fax Paper Records Hospitals, MOBs Health Plans North Texas Direct Email Big Bend region including Tallahassee Semantic Technical Process Non-interoperable medical records sent via fax or email Electronic records contained within various health care sites and organizations Directed push using secure email transport over the Internet Advanced interoperability components using national ehealth standards
Interoperability Defini&on Technical Seman&c Process Technical Interoperability The ability of two or more systems to reliably exchange informa=on so that it is human readable by the receiver. Technical interoperability describes the actual, physical puzzle pieces and their ability to be linked. Seman&c Interoperability The ability of informa=on shared by systems to be understood so that non- numeric data can be processed by the receiving system. SemanDc interoperability describes the image printed on the puzzle and the picture s ability to convey informadon to people. Process Interoperability Focuses on methods for the op=mal integra=on of computer systems into actual work selngs. Process interoperability describes the methods and strategies used by those assembling the puzzle, perhaps grouping pieces with straight sides, grouping pieces by color, etc. Source: Coming to Terms, Scoping Interoperability for Health Care Health Level Seven EHR Interoperability Work Group: 2/7/2007
Vision of Interoperability: Kaiser Permanente With an industry- leading, at- scale connected system, Kaiser Permanente is seeking to define transforma=onal connec=ons across our enterprise, with our members and the na=on.

What Does CCC Mean for Intermountain Healthcare? Clinical workflows with op=mum pa=ent data Trusted external data integra=on Pa=ent- directed disclosures Managed HIE risks
Interoperability at Mayo Clinic Every year, more than a million people from all 50 states and nearly 150 countries come to Mayo Clinic for care Connec=vity with any referring physician or pa=ent seeking care Connec=vity with the Mayo Clinic Care Network
Interoperability at Mayo Clinic Goals: Health informa=on exchange is in the best interest of the pa=ent Help clinical staff see a new pa=ent for the first =me Reduce the administra=ve paperwork in registering a new pa=ent Use unique pa=ent iden=fiers for pa=ent matching Automate the process of a pa=ent giving authoriza=on and consent for health informa=on exchange Guiding Principles: Build a single health informa=on exchange u=lity serving all of Mayo Clinic To the highest degree possible use open source, open standard sofware Be fully compliant with the Federal standards
What Does CCC Mean For Mayo? Fostering ongoing innova=on in interoperability Prac=cal lessons from working with real exchange opera=ons and observa=ons Create a test bed for discovery and innova=on of new features The challenges get bigger: from Push to Query
Expanding Connec&vity and Exchange Outreach Representa&on: 18 states to 50 states Affilia&on: 5 organiza=ons to 45 organiza&ons Coverage: 40 hospitals to 500+ hospitals
