A set of interactive gools to conduct self-assessments at a public health agency. Covers both informatics and interoperability.

Describes some of the key principles related to information governance at public health agencies.

In the LOINC Primer for Newborn Screening we provide an introduction to LOINC, with a focus on its applications in the newborn screening space. We review how LOINCs are made, how to find the right code for your specific test, and a few cases of what not to do.

An introduction to logic modeling and how it may be used by public health programs. 

In this presentation we hear from Laura Pabst who leads birth defects and neonatal abstinence syndrome surveillance at CDC. This episode follows her journey into the work of interoperability and her hopes for the future of interoperability.

The Data Modernization Planning Toolkit supports Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) for Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Diseases recipients in planning data modernization ventures at health departments. This guide will help build leadership and partner buy-in for data modernization work and assist health departments in developing plans that prioritize data modernization activities.

In this presentation, we will go over the process for onboarding a data submitter for HL7-based interoperability.

This presentation will describe why testing is critical to the success of an interoperability project. We will review the different types of testing that are commonly performed during a project in more detail. Also, we will provide some tips and tricks to make your testing more successful.

This presentation reviews the history of the laboratory orders (LOI) and results (LRI) implementation guides in general, some of the common aspects shared between them and how these standards are used together

This presentation discusses how the laboratory orders (LOI) and results (LRI) implementation guides are written and some of the ways they are different from other v2 standards.

This presentation discusses how the values sets used by the laboratory orders (LOI) and results (LRI) implementation guides are documented.

This presentation describes the use cases encompassed by the laboratory orders (LOI) implementation guide and details some of the unique features of the profiles defined in the standard.

This presentation describes the use case encompassed by the laboratory results (LRI) implementation guide and details some of the unique concepts in the standard including snapshot mode and parent-child linkages

This presentation describes some of the technical constraints included in the profiles used by the laboratory results (LRI) implementation guide.

Four template job descriptions covering Executive, Management, Clinical and Professional roles. These may be a good starting point for putting together job descriptions for your program.

Readiness assessment designed to increase state birth defects program capability to exchange electronic health information with clinical electronic health records systems (EHRs).

Allows public health laboratories to assess strengths and gaps in informatics capability by addressing 19 critical operational areas

In this presentation, we will define use case in an implementation guide, go over an HL7 v2 message, and review each of the newborn screening standards that exist today.

This training will focus on; Preparing for change; What is change management; Why is change management important; Who is involved in change management; and​ When do you address change management in an interoperability approach. In addition, in the second part of this webinar we will touch on the “how” of change management with some high-level strategies for approaching change management in interoperability work.

In this presentation, we dive deep into NIST's General Validation Tool for evaluating the quality of v2 messages.

In this presentation, we provide an overview of the suite of tools developed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology to document v2 standards & test cases and to validate test messages against those requirements.

In this presentation, we will see how IG authors use profiles to add specific rules and constraints to the base standard to achieve the goals of the IG's use case.

In this presentation, we will examine some building blocks of the v2 IG, vocabulary, and data types.

In this presentation, we will look at the first sections of a v2 implementation guide to see how the documents set the context for interoperability.

This video presentation reviews how the authors of the existing newborn screening implementation guides describe the use of Acknowledgment messages. We also discuss the use of common error codes as a way to simplify addressing errors in processing.

This video presentation goes into more detail about how the HL7 v2 standard permits the use of Acknowledgment messaging. We also look at how the use of intermediaries impacts Acknowledgment message flow.

This video presentation introduces the idea of using HL7 v2 Acknowledgment messages to communicate with data submitters. Acknowledgments are an important way to let submitters know when a message is processed and if any errors were encountered during processing.

This short presentation describes the Project US@ aims to standardize addresses in healthcare

This short presentation describes the ONC's Interoperability Standards Advisory and how it gets updated

This video presentation will explore the details of how FHIR resources are defined and used. We'll walk through examples to see how the FHIR standard is implemented to exchange real-world data.

This video presentation will review the latest HL7 interoperability standard, FHIR. We'll put FHIR into context relative to other HL7 products and examine how FHIR defines resources to represent a variety of different healthcare entities and events. We'll also discuss how Public Health programs

In this presentation, we will be introducing the different HL7 product families that are used to exchange clinical data.

In this presentation, we will discuss the different message types and their trigger events. Then we will go over the structure of an HL7 Version 2 message.

n this presentation we will explore the location, organization and content of the v2 base standard.

In this presentation, we will describe the purpose and organization of the Health Level 7 (HL7) standards development organization

In this presentation, we will give an introduction to standards. We review what standards are, why they are important, and how they are developed and implemented.

In this presentation, we introduce interoperability. We define important terms and building blocks for achieving interoperability in Newborn Screening programs.

This course provides information on the role and processes of laboratory informatics through exploration of the “life of a result” as data and results move through the laboratory and outside the laboratory. Topics covered include characterization of the recipients of laboratory data, data and results storage, and the communication of data and results (especially electronically) to various stakeholders

This basic-level eLearning course provides an overview of the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) – also known as a Laboratory Information System – and other information systems that play a key role in laboratory informatics. Included in the course are explorations of LIMS functionality, the role of the LIMS in interoperability, various regulations and standards regarding information systems and laboratory data, and the steps in implementing a LIMS.

Guidance for initiating and sustaining this project and outlines steps needed to set up electronic messaging with partners

This course provides information on the role and processes of laboratory informatics through exploration of the “life of a specimen” as a specimen moves through the laboratory. Topics covered include the roles of various personnel in the laboratory informatics enterprise, data relationships, data quality, and standards, and the generation and flow of information as a specimen progresses through the pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic phases.
