IHE Australia Workshops July 2011 Prepared by: Heather Grain Chair: Standards Australia IT14 Health Informatics and Ehealth Education
Standards are key to healthcare at all levels service, fiscal, administrative decision makers, clinicians in direct patient care, patients and their carers and researchers across the whole health sector, including public health Cost minimization - Information and the systems used to collect, retrieve and present that information are expensive and complex Benefit maximization standards indicate the way forward to reduce re- work and integrate
Standards support the ability to collect information once and use it for a range of purposes Consistent information structure Agreed structure (fields) of information Consistent information representation Agreed way to represent content (eg. SNOMED CT, ICD, AMT, national code systems)
PCEHR requires systems that have Appropriate, consistent privacy processes Information transmission and content management Information representation Each of these require skills in our health organisations to implement and manage the information and the systems associated with the information Standards Australia is the environment in Australia where these requirements meet
Scope Standards required by the community Consultation, broad input supporting the continuum
Government/Semi Government Departments Health services Professional Organisations Consumers Software/Health Informatics Industry Other standards development organizations. DoHA, NEHTA, jurisdictions, AIHW Australian Private Hospitals Association, Healthcare Organisations RACGP, RCPA, RANZCR, RACMA, ANZCA, RCN Consumers Federation of Australia MSIA, HISA and specific vendors HL7 Australia
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND AGEING E HEALTH BRANCH NATIONAL E HEALTH TRANSITION AUTHORITY (NEHTA) STANDARDS AUSTRALIA
Reduces costs to Australia Avoids duplication Leverages international expertise Makes Australian vendors internationally competitive
Shared planning approach Development alternatives Traditional Supported workshops to support the community Focused funding Expert input/expertise understanding of the continuum where it fits and where it breaks! Understanding of potential /risk to safe IT in healthcare Learning and leverage expertise International influence and expertise
General Overarching Approaches Logical Information Model (independent of implementation) Implementation exchange format (CDA) Conformance Rendering Using Adopt, Adapt, Develop approach Technical / Functional implementation requirements
IT14 Work Plan established through open consultation, considering: national priorities by survey and PCEHR review priorities identified by the community International alignment National solutions Collaborative process
