Standard Healthcare Infrastructure: Benefit to Hospitals and Clinics Discharge Summaries Lab Results Emergency Dept Referral History & Physical Standards-based Healthcare IT Infrastructure Lower cost Multi-vendor Open Hospital Community Clinic Using a standards-based healthcare IT infrastructure for sharing patient information has a number of benefits to hospitals and clinics Less time and cost required to deploy a healthcare information exchange solution More choice in vendors for each component of the solution Avoid being locked into a given vendor s proprietary architecture 3 Copyright 2006 3
Standard Healthcare Infrastructure: Benefit to Healthcare Solution Vendors Discharge Summaries Lab Results Emergency Dept Referral History & Physical Standards-based Healthcare IT Infrastructure Standard interface Reduced time/cost Open source Hospital Community Clinic Building solutions on a standards-based IT infrastructure has a number of benefits for healthcare solution vendors One set of standard interfaces for dealing with other vendor components of the solution Reduced time and cost to develop and deploy new solutions Opportunity to take advantage of open source, standard solution components 4 Copyright 2006 4
What is IHII? IHII Interoperable Healthcare Information Infrastructure solution supporting an IHE-based healthcare information network infrastructure Implementation of IHE infrastructure on proven, middleware technology IHII includes the following components of an IHE-based infrastructure solution: 5 XDS Document Registry XDS Document Repository ATNA Audit Repository PIX Patient Identifier Cross Reference Manager PDQ Patient Demographics Supplier Copyright 2006 5
Current IHII Components XDS Document Registry Full implementation of the Document Registry defined within the IHE XDS profile Searchable index of documents being shared within a healthcare provider network Based on: WebSphere Application Server DB2 Universal Database XDS Document Repository 6 Full implementation of the Document Repository defined within the IHE XDS profile Data repository for clinical documents being shared within a healthcare provider network Based on: WebSphere Application Server Multiple data storage models supported File system DB2 Content Manager DB2 purexml database Copyright 2006 6
Current IHII Components ATNA Audit Record Repository Audit record repository that is fully compliant with the IHE ATNA profile Collection point for audit events generated by systems within a healthcare provider network Based on: WebSphere Application Server DB2 Universal Database Data Discovery and Query Builder (for building audit event queries) PIX/PDQ Server Fully implements: IHE PIX Patient Identity Cross Reference Manager IHE PDQ Patient Demographics Supplier Supports lookup of patient information based on patient demographics Maintains linkage of multiple patient identifiers for the same person Based on: empi (Enterprise Master Patient Index) 7 Copyright 2006 7

Eclipse OHF Open Source Project Eclipse Open Healthcare Framework Project sponsored by the Eclipse open source community Focused on: Improving interoperability between applications and systems within and across healthcare organization By implementing extensible frameworks and tools supporting pervasive healthcare and IT standards Used by vendors and integrators to build workstation applications, gateways and server applications which build upon standard healthcare information exchange infrastructures Eclipse OHF makes it easier for healthcare solution vendors to create new and adapt existing solutions to work within a standards-based healthcare information network 11 Copyright 2006 11
Eclipse OHF Details Eclipse OHF provides a number of plugins for Java-based healthcare applications, supporting a number of IHE profiles: XDS document consumer XDS document source PIX consumer PDQ consumer ATNA audit client Eclipse OHF bridge provides a Web Service interface for these same functions 12 Enable non-java applications to integrate with an IHE-based network Copyright 2006 12
