Healthcare organizations have many reasons for bulk-data export, such as populating a data warehouse for operational or clinical analytics, leveraging population health and decision support tools from external vendors, and submitting data to registries and regulatory agencies. Today, bulk export is often accomplished with proprietary pipelines, and data transfer operations frequently involve an engineering and field mapping project. Learn about an exciting new effort by SMART and HL7 to bring the FHIR standard to bear on these challenges of bulk-data export.

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.

Resources resulting from a Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative workshop include a high-level overview of FHIR, a more in-depth review of the rules, regulations, and policy framework behind interoperability, and a workshop summary.

A short history of experience in recording clinical ideas in computer systems over the past forty years. This sets the context for the requirements associated with the adoption and development of SNOMED CT.

This presentation provides general information about the background and nature of SNOMED CT.

This presentation provides an overview of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) which has the overall goal to establish a floor of universal interoperability across the country. The Common Agreement will establish the infrastructure model and the governing approach for users in different networks to securely share basic clinical information with each other—all under commonly agreed-to expectations and rules.

 

A fishbone diagram helps team members visually diagram a problem or condition's root causes, allowing them to truly diagnose the problem rather than focusing on symptoms.

A General Introduction to FHIR, presented by Richard Ettema at HL7 FHIR DevDays, June 2018, Boston, MA

The interoperability of data, and delivery of a consistent level of data quality, are critical factors in the National Digital Health Strategy – both for quality of immediate care, and for the development of longer-term health strategies. This is the first of a three-part webinar series looking at interoperability and clinical terminologies, with a particular focus on the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), a key standard for interoperable data in Australia.

HL7 FHIR Implementation Guide Creation Training - Terminology Fundamentals

This two-part presentation 1)provides content on: the History of LOINC as an organization and a community of users; a definition of LOINC and LOINC code basics; the LOINC concept model; the six LOINC axeses; and resources for learning more about LOINC. 2) an overview of a typical mapping project using LOINC.

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.
