IS 06 - Quality As a part of its work, the Technical Committee undertook the definition of 16 Quality Measures. These measures are encoded according to the HL7 HQMF as specified by the HITSP C106 Measurement Criteria Component. The .xml files for these can be found here.

CDISC ISO/IEEE 11073 CEN ISO/IEEE 11073 Health informatics - Medical / health device communication standards enable communication between medical, health care and wellness devices and with external computer systems. They provide automatic and detailed electronic data capture of client-related and vital signs information, and of device operational data. Background[edit] Goals[edit] Real-time plug-and-play interoperability for citizen-related medical, healthcare and wellness devices;Efficient exchange of care device data, acquired at the point-of-care, in all care environments. “Real-time” means that data from multiple devices can be retrieved, time correlated, and displayed or processed in fractions of a second. The standards are targeted at personal health and fitness devices (such as glucose monitors, pulse oximeters, weighing scales, medication dispensers and activity monitors) and at continuing and acute care devices (such as pulse oximeters, ventilators and infusion pumps).

HSSP - home The Healthcare IT Guy — Shahid's healthcare IT, EMR, EHR, PHR, medical content, and document managment advisory service. Enjoy. Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) was created in 2005 as part of efforts by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC, part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services) to promote interoperability in health care by harmonizing health information technology standards. HITSP is chaired by John Halamka, MD, CIO of Harvard Medical School. Membership[edit] Membership is by organization and there is currently no cost to join. Goals[edit] According to their website, HITSP's mission is to "serve as a cooperative partnership between the public and private sectors for the purpose of achieving a widely accepted and useful set of standards specifically to enable and support widespread interoperability among healthcare software applications, as they will interact in a local, regional and national health information network for the United States." The 2007 Use Cases are:
SNOMED CT SNOMED Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) is the most comprehensive, multilingual clinical healthcare terminology in the world. SNOMED CT contributes to the improvement of patient care by underpinning the development of Electronic Health Records that record clinical information in ways that enable meaning-based retrieval. This provides effective access to information required for decision support and consistent reporting and analysis. SNOMED CT is owned, maintained and distributed by the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO). The links to the left of this page provide access to more detailed information about SNOMED CT, including its benefits, design and content. MD PnP Program | MD FIRE Medical Device "Free Interoperability Requirements for the Enterprise" (MD FIRE) comprises a white paper and sample RFP and contracting language to promote the adoption of fully interoperable medical devices and systems in support of patient safety. A Living Document Released on October 16, 2008, the MD FIRE document was drafted by the MD PnP Program's Interoperability Contracting Requirements Working Group, with convened experts from Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology (CIMIT), Massachusetts General Hospital, Partners HealthCare, Kaiser Permanente and Johns Hopkins. The MD FIRE document contains background and rationale, sample RFP terms and sample contract terms, and may be shared under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license. The latest version of the MD FIRE document was released in August, 2012, and adds the U.S. We welcome proposed changes and additions to the MD FIRE document.
