5 We help to get you and your trading partners on the same page - each with their own flavor of data. Each partner needs a data model Then using XML tools, model to model transformations are performed by MDHT The result is data flow between two organizations.

6 Model Driven Architecture and the tool MDHT Allows data to be exchanged between enterprises via standardized XML schemas from canonical information models. We can export NIEM artifacts from models.

7 o o Information Architecture is the analysis and design of the data used in information systems. o Modeling semantics and reference knowledge common to a wide range of artifacts o Leveraging the semantics to ensure consistency across models/artifacts o Using the same semantics as a basis for logical and physical database model generation, software component and service generation, rule development (e.g., in production rule-based systems), etc. o Logical consistency, validation, and reuse The proper set of architectural tools enables information flow and planning for interoperability within an enterprise and with its trading partners.

8 Information Architecture is the art and science of understanding the objectives of information in the context of the intended audience. It's the high level description of business information and communication and enables the translation of business perspectives to/from IT. Information Architecture relates the Business Architecture to Information Technology. Business Strategy and Information Architecture are closely related. Information Architecture enables the existing Business Strategy and Information Architecture fosters new Business Strategies

He has been a consultant on two VA T4 efforts: VLER Interoperability and VistA Evolution.

11 Dr. Tim Cromwell has over 30 years of Healthcare IT experience in the VHA. He is a Registered Nurse with an earned doctorate in Nursing. He is an experienced Project and Program Manager and a subject matter expert in the VHA VLER and VistA systems, Clinical Informatics, Health Information Technology, Population Health and Healthcare Transformation. Dr. Cromwell led the Line of Business for Health of the Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record project (VLER), one of the Secretary s Transformational Initiatives. Dr. Cromwell s VLER Health team delivered 11 pilot locations where VA, DoD and private sector partners exchange health information via the Nationwide Health Information Network (NwHIN). Responsibilities included managing a team of terminologists, vocabulary engineers and data architects to develop and sustain standards within VA EHR systems, and to move those systems to interoperability with the private sector. Dr. Cromwell was the VA s main POC for the VA s efforts to join the Nationwide Health Information Network (NwHIN). For the DoD / VA Interagency Program Office responsibilities included IT and Business Development, and national deployment activities for standards based health information exchange within Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Areas of influence included: standards development and deployment, standards based health information exchange development and deployment, health IT architecture, and analytics related to returns on investment of health IT investments. Within these two positions, Dr. Cromwell controlled lifecycle investments in excess of $100M, and directed staff whose skill sets included health informatics, medical and nursing terminologies, health IT architecture, analytics and research methodology, business analytics, as well as program management.

13 Jay Lyle is a Interoperability consultant, Business Architect, Healthcare IT Medical Terminologist and Project Manager. He is currently a consultant on the VHA VLER Interoperability T4 project. In support of the Federal Health Architecture, Mr. Lyle supports the development of the Federal Health Terminology Model. This includes overseeing the creation of value sets in CDC s PHIN VADs, and the linkage of those value sets to the Federal Health Information Model in support of HHS ONC. This effort involves coordination of terminology experts from multiple partner agencies. In support of Veterans Health Administration s Standards and Interoperability program, Mr. Lyle provides project management, business analysis, data modeling, healthcare terminology and informatics expertise to Health Terminology Standards related projects. He supports VA Terminology goals at Standards Development Organizations such as HL7 and inter-agency initiatives such as the VA-DOD integrated Electronic Health Record (iehr) and Federal Health Architecture. His program management advice, planning ability, communication skills and clear thinking is highly valued by our clients.

14 Standards and Terminology Development J P Systems is active in the development of international Healthcare IT standards for: Data standards development Health Level 7: ver. 2, 3, CDA and FHIR Terminology standards MED-RT, SNOMED-CT Clinical Standards LOINC Prescription Processing Standards - NCPDP ICD-10 is both a terminology and a standard HL7 CDA is file oriented, data persists unlike a message HL7 FHIR is resource oriented, has transport and data structures Clinical Terminology Modeling

15 Standard Reference Clinical Terminologies Clinical Terminology Modeling using Apelon s DTS and IHTSDO workbench Structures For Clinical Decision Support SNOMED CT updates for your organization Monitoring of SDOs Standards Development HL7 Ver. 2. Use Terminology for HL7 Ver 3. Standards Development and Use Terminology for HL7 FHIR Standards Development and Use HL7 CDA Standards Development and Use Development of Concepts and Terms

16 The Standards Development Cycle Standards Development Cycle within a Standards Development Organization (SDO) 1, New requirements proposed SDO Work Group 2. Standard modeled in UML by work group Developers write software to implement standard, new requirements arise Standards Ballot : SDO membership votes & comments 3. SDO members vote Various entities develop constraints / directions for the standard SDO Publishes standard 4. Standard approved

17 Standards Development You may benefit from creating a Implementation Guide for Clinical Document Architecture (CDA ver. 3). J P Systems develops Implementation Guides for CDAs. The HL7 Structured Documents Work Group defines the CDA characteristics and structure. The characteristics are: 1) Persistence, 2) Stewardship, 3) Potential for authentication, 4) Context, 5) Wholeness and 6) Human readability. 2) HL7 v. 3 messages are not persistent, CDA files are. A CDA file has a header, main body (text, XML or a pointer to a document). CDA tags are defined by the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM) and use standard controlled vocabulary (e.g. LOINC). Common examples include: Discharge Summary, Imaging Report, Admission & Physical, Pathology or other Test Result Report The Continuity of Care document (CCD) specification is a constraint on the HL7 (CDA) standard, meaning it is a specific type of CDA for a specific purpose.

18 Open Source Tooling for Model Driven Architecture Model Driven Health Tools (MDHT) is Used for: Model Driven Code Generation - Use the generated API (for creating / updating documents) Conformance/Validation Tools -Validate existing xml documents Generate Documentation from models - Create Implementation/ User Guides in XHTML, PDF, Other formats Extend / Constrain the existing models - Create new models from existing base models like Create new models For project files and more see:
