Engagement Discussion
Who to Engage
Use Past Engagements as an example. Note: CIC is a co-sponsor of this project Make a list of organizations we would like to target:
- Medical Professional Societies
- Prioritizing those that have a designated informatics/standards/similar function (staff or committee).
- e.g., Health Story
- AMIA
- CMS
- Provider Organizations – Referral Coordinators, Care Managers? have Specialist Requirements
Created a spreadsheet to capture list of organizations and contacts. Note: E-mail keith.boone@ge.com for access, since it contains personal contact information I don't want to make this widely available via the web.
What to Engage about
How could most relevant and pertinent be automated?
- Current/Historical Status
- Time Frame
- Sampling Frequency [don’t need to know 4x a day for 6 weeks in hospital]
- Scope of Practice [inbound and outbound]
- Reason for Referral/Reason for Visit/Chief Complaint
- What are the contexts that we should consider? Kind of encounter? Specific to your specialty or of general use?
- Patient Age and Gender
What Data Elements to Consider
Common MU Data Set vs. Common Clinical Data Set What to do about information not in MU: Record for future dispositioning, not within project scope to address
Approaches
Qualitative vs. Quantitative: How do we ask questions? Open ended or closed. I suggest open-ended, to be analyzed into computable results. Do we need some concrete use cases for Referral, Transfer of Care, Summary of Care? Need to capture priorities for data, including preferred ordering of information.
Created a place to capture [questions to ask].
