ABSTRACT INFORMATION
Title: 'Pilot Test of Newborn Hearing Screening Health Information Exchange (HIE) with a Partner Hospital Using the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA)' Track: 6 - Follow-up, Tracking and Data Management Keyword(s): HIE with EHRs using CDA Learning Objectives: Understand the infrastructure needs for health information exchange of newborn hearing screening reports between EHRs and EHDI-IS Understand the EHDI Clinical Data Architecture (CDA) and transport standards Identify data and value set standards for use in health information exchange between EHRs and EHDI-IS Abstract: In Fall 2014 Oregon EHDI was selected to pilot the EHDI CDA to report near real time newborn hearing screening data from a partner hospital electronic health record (EHRs) and then use that data to populate the EHDI-IS registry. CDA is a standardized methodology for sharing data between EHRs and this pilot will apply that methodology to improve newborn hearing screening reporting and follow-up. In Winter 2013 Oregon EHDI conducted the phase 1 pilot test of the CDA using an EHR test harness to simulate the newborn hearing screening results reporting content, data flow and workflow. Phase 1 yielded a report and lessons learned about infrastructure needed to undertake HIE with partner EHRs. The Phase 2 pilot will demonstrate implementation of the CDA with the goal of adoption of the methodology as the primary means for newborn hearing screening reporting by the partner hospital. Phase 2 pilot deliverables will include a template of the EHDI User Story, EHDI data elements index and map to standards, documentation of the data and workflow processes required to implement the CDA for EHDI programs, and lessons learned. HIE using the CDA standard has the potential for improving newborn hearing screening reporting and follow-up, and this pilot will contribute to the knowledge base of how to make that happen.
