The Reducing Clinician Burden (RCB) Project is an activity of the HL7 Electronic Health Record Work Group (EHR WG).

Please subscribe to the HL7 EHR WG listserver for meeting announcements, agendas and updates regarding current work.

The RCB Project team meets via teleconference on the 2nd and 4th Mondays each month - at 3PM ET (US).

To join RCB teleconferences: https://global.gotomeeting.com/meeting/join/798931918

NOTE: DRAFT documents may be incomplete and are posted for Team review and discourse. Please take care to note their draft (tentative) status if referencing or sharing with others.


HL7 RCB Project - Presentations and Reports

Additional presentations are included in the "Success Stories" section below.

HL7 RCB Project - Analysis, Derivations and Worksheets

NOTE that all reference sources up through #122 have been reviewed and are incorporated in this version. See "References" Tab.

Proposed HL7 Burden Impact Statement (BIS) targets HL7 Projects – to assess potential impact on clinician burden and identify possible benefits toward burden reduction. Intended for inclusion as part of HL7 Project Scope Statements (new projects) and within HL7 Standards and Implementation Guides. The BIS is a collaboration with the American Medical Association.

This one page DRAFT outlines key causal factors for clinician burden and is offered for review and comment.

These comments on the DRAFT International Patient Summary were prepared in correspondence with findings of the HL7 RCB Project and clinician burdens associated with patient summary creation, exchange and use, particularly with regard to aspects of information overload, data integrity, patient/provider identity matching, preservation of clinical data context, reconciliation of medications, medication allergies, all allergies, problems/diagnoses and more.

This worksheet shows a typical end-to-end information flow for clinical documentation, starting at the point of origination (authorship) of a health record entry - following with points of update, verification, attestation, exchange (transmit and receipt) - ending at the point where record entry content is accessed/used for subsequent patient care, interventions and decision making.

This graphic asks the question "How Might We Ensure End-to-End Fidelity as We Collect, Share and Use Clinical Documentation?", considering what the author sees/intends and how that corresponds to what the end user sees.

This graphic shows a Clinical Documentation Instance and subsequent clinical and non-clinical flow based on its segments: •provenance, •clinical facts, findings and observations, •order detail, •prior authorization detail, •billing/claims detail, •quality/performance data, •public health data, •administrative data, •finance/cost data, •registry data... Each segment represents a purpose of collection and a corresponding purpose of use, based on stakeholder needs.

This document is part of an initial dialogue between the HL7 RCB Project and the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Office of Burden Reduction and Health Informatics and offers a timeline of HL7 EHR WG standards development activities from 2000 until the present.

These comments were submitted to the Sequoia Project, Data Usability Workgroup, as part of their consideration of characteristics/qualities of health data that make it usable - for particular end uses/end users (e.g., clinicians in clinical practice) and are derived from analysis of the RCB Project.

These comments were submitted to HL7 leadership as part of the ongoing effort to re-envision HL7 and are derived (in part) from analysis of the RCB Project.

HL7 RCB Collaborative Project Candidate - Medication List Management and Reconciliation

The Medication Reconciliation Burden Reduction Focus Team meets most Thursdays at 5PM ET (US). Teleconference access is as noted above. If you are a clinician with medication reconciliation experience, please join us.
