  10. CDC PHIN Function #1–Some questions • HL7 v3.0 is new • Is CDC going to use new CaseReport observation? • Under what conditions? • Role of the CDA (Clinical Document Architecture) • Is CDC going to use it? (Others may) • CDA messages are based on domain-specific templates. Who is defining these templates, what is their status, and when can I get them? • There is a lack of public health-oriented codes in the RIM • What steps are being taken to bring evolving public domain information into the RIM?

  11. CDC PHIN Function #1– Some questions • LOINC is to be used to identify ordered tests in PH messages • Who is to assign LOINC test codes to Labs? • If Labs use internal codes only, is the vendor to convert? • SNOMED is to be used for lab test organism identification and disease designation • Not widely used- are vendors to do mappings?

  12. The Challenge • Success depends upon industry involvement • Much needed supplemental investment • Working knowledge of current conditions • Experience with finding practical solutions • Driven by market forces responding to exigencies • We understand the “good vs. perfect” conundrum

  13. Post 9/11 Funding Total of federal, state and local governmental spending and private sector outlays for Homeland Security now stands at $100 Billion annually, with the Federal government accounting for about 30% of that number. In 2005, the federal number is expected to rise to $56 Billion. -Bill Hoagland, Director of Budget and Appropriations for Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist

  14. Conclusion • Private Sector is engaged • Private Sector must respond to market demands • Lack of clear standards is adding unnecessary time and expense to the process • A central forum for addressing evolving standards is needed • Streamlined communications between Private/Public players • A central web site that publishes Public Health data standards as they evolve with links to standards bodies to facilitate communication
