Product Name - CDA R2 IG HAIRPT

  • HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: (NHSN) Healthcare Associated Infection Reports

Type

DSTU

Releases

  • HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Healthcare Associated Infection Reports, Release 1; DSTU ending March 2010
  • HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2 - Level 3: Healthcare Associated Infection Reports, Release 2 (US Realm); DSTU ends Mar 2011
  • HL7 Implementation Guide CDA Release 2 - Level 3: Healthcare Associated Infection Reports, Release 3 (US Realm); DSTU ends October 2011
  • Release 4

Summary

The purpose of this implementation guide (IG) is to specify a standard for electronic submission of Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) Reports to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU) defines the overall approach and method of electronic submission and develops constraints defining specific HAI report types.

As reports are modified and new report types are defined, additional constraints will be developed and published by CDC and Health Level Seven (HL7).

Throughout this process, CDC remains the authority on NHSN data collection protocols. Occurrences such as specific reportable procedures, even those without complications, and events such as a bloodstream infection, either confirmed by a positive blood culture or supported by a patient‘s clinical symptoms, are reportable to the CDC when health care enterprises choose to participate in NHSN. This specification opens the channel for data submission by all applications compliant with the data coding requirements defined here. Note that participation in the NHSN requires enrollment and filing of reporting plans, which are not defined by this specification. For an overview of NHSN and full information on NHSN participation requirements, see: http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/

Note that provisions of the Public Health Service Act protect all data reported to NHSN from discovery through the Freedom Of Information Act.

This implementation was the first use of the CDA R2 for public health reporting. Since the initial ballot in spring of 2007, additional use cases have been identified and a CDA Implementation Guide for Public Health Case Reports (PHCR) has been developed.

Future work may develop an overarching set of principles for use of CDA in this context under the project tentatively named "CDA for Reporting".

Future work on HAI reporting will continue to expand the set of forms covered by the specification. In the future, the latest set of any value set referenced in this guide will be made available through CDC‘s Public Health Information Network Vocabulary Access and Distribution System (PHIN VADS; http://phinvads.cdc.gov).

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

  • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
  • National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) member Health Care organizations and facilities,
  • Health Care HIS and Clinical Decision Support (CDS) software vendors

Benefits

Data collected in NHSN are used for improving patient safety at the local and national levels. In aggregate, CDC analyzes and publishes surveillance data to estimate and characterize the national burden of healthcare-associated infections. At the local level, the data analysis features of NHSN that are available to participating facilities range from rate tables and graphs to statistical analysis that compares the healthcare facility’s rates with the national aggregate metrics.

Implementations/ Case Studies (Actual Users)

The use of the CDA for NHSN HAI Reports DSTU (based on Release 2) officially went into production use on October 15, 2009. Since that time, multiple vendors and institutions have begun submitting HAI data for Blood Stream Infection (BSI), Surgical Site Infection (SSI) and Procedure and ICU denominator events directly to the CDC using this standard. The vendors who participated in the 2007-2008 pilot activities for Bloodstream and Surgical Site Infection reporting include MedMined™ services from Cardinal Health, EpiQuest, ICPA, Premier, TheraDoc, and Vecna Technologies.

DSTU

Releases

Release 1

Summary

The implementation guide specifies CDA based representation of data/information (mostly containing analysed and raw information of data generated by personal healthcare monitoring devices such as glucometers, BP cuffs, thermometers, weight scales).

The implementation guide for this HL7 DSTU was co-developed by Continua Health Alliance(http://www.continuaalliance.org), which also provides a certification of compliance to the specification. Continua Health Alliance also has a Liaison Agreement with HL7. The guide conforms with the HL7 CCD and describes how to use CCD templates for communicating home health data to an electronic health record. Ends November 2010.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

The guide will be used by personal health management organizations (such as disease management organizations) to transfer remotely monitored patient data to electronic health records.

Benefits

The specification will foster the development of automated interface between remote data monitoring services and EHR systems.

The Continua Health Alliance provides an implementation guide that includes guidelines for IHE XDS based transport of the document.

Continua Health Alliance also offers a certification process for data source compliance the interface. This will enable high interoperability with the standard specification.

Implementations/ Case Studies (Actual Users)

The major implementation was performed by IBM. IBM's WebSphere Sensor Events platform collects, processes, and routes medical device and sensor data. We have used Personal Healthcare Monitoring Report (PHM) document format, in the context of Continua HRN interface, to achieve data exchange from WebSphere Sensor Events to various applications, for example chronic disease management application vendor products. IBM also used the HRN interface to achieve data exchange from WebSphere Sensor Events into a health information exchange.

In addition there were several prototypes developed within the continua health alliance scope by NHS, Roche, Phillips, Lamprey Networks and others.

Continua Health Alliance also implemented a test tool for certification of compliance to the specification.

DSTU

Releases

Release 1, ending April 2011

Summary

The purpose of this Implementation Guide (IG) is to specify a standard for electronic submission for CDA Questionnaire Assessments that will allow health care facilities and providers to communicate reports in an interoperable, industry-standard format. Questionnaire Assessments contain multiple questions with specific answers. These questions typically assess a variety of clinical domains including the patient’s functional and disability status and may include assessment scales to quantify the assessment. Frequently these types of assessments are used in long-term care settings (e.g., nursing facilities, home health agencies, and residential care facilities) or in outpatient settings with patients who have certain chronic physical and mental health conditions.

Description

  • Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: CDA Framework for Questionnaire Assessments (Universal Realm) describes constraints on CDA Release 2 to provide a framework for patient Questionnaire Assessments that can be used internationally.
  • CDA Representation of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Questionnaire Assessment (U.S. Realm) adds further constraints to the constraints outlined for the Universal Realm to define a specific questionnaire commonly used in the United States. These constraints can also be applied to other assessment questionnaires used in the United States, such as the Outcome and ASsessment Information Set (OASIS).
  • Questionnaire Assessments are question-based instruments that have psychometric properties. Psychometric properties are elements that contribute to the statistical adequacy of an instrument in terms of reliability, validity, and internal consistency.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

Software systems developers and implementers,

  • Government agencies,
  • Health care facilities and providers,
  • Personal health care records.

Product Name - CDA R2 IG DIR

  • HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Diagnostic Imaging Reports, Release 1; aka Basic Imaging reports in CDA and DICOM, Release 1 (Informative)

Type

Informative

Releases

Release 1

Summary

A Diagnostic Imaging Report contains a consulting specialist’s interpretation of image data. It is intended to convey the interpretation to the referring (ordering) physician and become part of the patient’s medical record. The purpose of this Implementation Guide (IG) is to describe constraints on the CDA Header and Body elements for Diagnostic Imaging Reports. It is intended for use in Radiology, Endoscopy, Cardiology, and other imaging specialties.

This Guide describes how CDA is used to record information for a Diagnostic Imaging Report. Is consistent with the DICOM guide for transforming DICOM Structured Reports to CDA. The report may contain both narrative and coded data.

See http://www.healthstory.com/standards/sec/dir.htm

The implementation guide for this informative document was developed by DICOM, with support from the HL7 Imaging Integration Work Group and CDA4CDT. It is consistent with a companion guide for transforming DICOM Structured Reports to CDA Release 2 and is suitable for use with both structured and narrative data capture.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

  • Healthcare Providers,
  • Healthcare IT Vendors,
  • EHR Systems,
  • Transcription/Dictation Systems,
  • Departmental Systems
  • RAD information systems

Stakeholders include Medical imaging service providers, equipment vendors and information systems implementers. The audience for this document is software developers and consultants responsible for implementation of Radiology Information Systems, Radiology Reporting Systems, Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), other image and imaging management systems, and dictation/transcription and document management systems. A secondary audience is developers of specifications for health information networks, both governmental and non-governmental, who may specify use of this Implementation Guide for Diagnostic Imaging Reports. These systems are expected to transmit results of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems or health information exchange networks as CDA documents created according to this IG.

Benefits

Integrating narrative notes into the EHR is a key benefit as is the fact that it supports meaningful use with minimal change to current practice.

The DICOM standard specifies a basic imaging report as a Structured Reporting (SR) document for the reports that make up the bulk of radiology practice volume. However, implementation of SR for basic reporting has been limited because such reporting is done in HL7-based information systems. The Implementation Guide provides a defined transformation between DICOM SR and HL7 CDA, with guidance for HL7 CDA implementers wishing to create CDA report documents compatible with DICOM reporting contexts.

Implementations/ Case Studies (Actual Users)

  • Health Story Proejct (formerly CDA for Common Document Types, or, CDA4CDT) founded by M*Modal,
  • the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA),
  • and the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI), formerly the American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT), now affiliated with the Medical Transcription Industry Association (MTIA).

Product Name - CDA R2 IG CRS

  • HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Level 1, 2 and 3 Care Record Summary (US Realm)(Informative)

Type

DSTU

Releases

Release 1 (Informative) Release 2, DSTU ending November 2011

Summary

The Care Record Summary, issued in June 23, 2006, was the first balloted Implementation Guide for CDA R2. CRS covered CDA Levels 1, 2, however, did not specify Level 3 templates (CDA entries). CCD, meanwhile, developed a rich set of Level 3 templates, however, CCD is not a Discharge Summary and does not specify a hospital course. The purpose of this update will be to issue a Discharge Summary-specific CRS updated for compliance with the current approach to CDA templates in CCD and the HL7 Health Story implementation guides. The resulting specification will be consistent with IHE XDS-MS for Discharge Summary and HITSP C48 and will not introduce conflicting requirements.

Description

The HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: Care Record Summary: Discharge Summary was supported by the Health Story Project (www.healthstory.com), a non profit industry collaborative working to integrate narrative notes and electronic medical records.

Business Case (Intended Use, Customers)

Benefits

The specifcation provides disparate hospital systems a standard format to report back to a primary care provider or other parties interested in the patient's hospital care.
