HL7 RCB Project - Analysis Worksheets

This version of the RCB Analysis Worksheet includes the ONC FINAL "Strategy on Reducing Burden Relating to the Use of Health IT and EHRs". Each of the four ONC Initiatives(I), along with Strategies(S) and Recommendations(R) are inserted within the related RCB topic area and are identified as Ix.Sx.Rx. NOTE also that all reference sources up through #122 have been reviewed and are incorporated in this version. See "References" Tab.

This two tab worksheet shows: 1) typical end-to-end information flow of clinical documentation, starting at the point of origination of health record entry and ending at the point where record entry content is accessed/used for subsequent patient care, interventions and decision making; 2) the potential to segment health record entry into a segment supporting direct care and separate segment(s) for other uses/users of clinical documentation (including payors, public health, quality/performance entities, administration, finance, clinical registries...).

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