HSSP-OHT “Toolkit” Project

Today’s Call

• Quick review of the project’s intent• Status of activities to date• Discussion of the two use cases• Inventory of current assets/commitments• Identification of participants/early-adopters• Next steps / strategy planning

Goal

• Foster broader marketplace adoption of SOA within health

• Lower the “barriers to entry” adversely affecting SOA and its use within health

• Promote standards-based solutions

Objectives

• Collect available open-source implementations of HSSP (HL7 + OMG) standards into one distribution

• Attract new implementers to contribute OSS offerings

• Build at least two exemplary applications using the above software infrastructure

• Target delivery in/about October 2013, with a cloud hosted environment

Activities to Date…

• This is the third call/webinar since the project was chartered (in principle) at OHT Board Meeting

• “Discovery” Session held at HL7 in Atlanta with ~20 attendees

• Outreach and engagement with multiple stakeholders to revise/refine exemplary applications

Use Case 1

• Focused on enablement for Care Coordination / Care Plan Management

• Goal is to build a demonstration application, based in part of the HSSP Care Coordination Service draft specification and leveraging others (Services Directory, master person index, terminology service, clinical decision support service…)

• Rationale– Broadly applicable to US and non-US stakeholders– Clinically-focused application– No established vendor with strong market dominance– Critical growth area of interest to many– Well suited to SOA

Use Case 2• Focused on Electronic Submission of Claims

Documentation/attachments for CMS• Goal is to build a demonstration application, leveraging security

services, provider directory, MPI, record locator, data retrieval, and terminology services

• Rationale– Plans underway within CMS to provide for this capability in support of

Medicare/Medicaid program– Supports objectives for Meaningful Use Stage 3 (good timing!)– Targets administrative/financial side of healthcare, highlighting

intersection with clinical side/EHR– US focused, but with broad applicability elsewhere– Strategic work heading in to the mainstream
