Tentative Product List and Template Descriptions

Product	Summary	Description (<500 words)	Business Case	Benefits	Implementation/ Case Studies	Resources
CDA (R1)	Clinical documents are the core of a patient's lifetime health record. HL7’s CDA standard provides an exchange model for clinical documents such as discharge summaries and progress notes. A consistent approach to electronic clinical documents means that critical information contained in the documents can be used independently of the application on which it was produced. For example, CDA documents can be displayed using XML-aware Web browsers or wireless applications on mobile devices.	description	a	b	c	d

CCD	HL7 and ASTM International created the Continuity of Care Document (CCD) to integrate two complementary healthcare data specifications ASTM’s Continuity of Care Record (CCR) and HL7’s Clinical Document Architecture (CDA). The CCD is endorsed by the Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) as the harmonized format for the exchange of clinical information, including patient demographics, medications and allergies.	a	b	c	d

EHR FM	The healthcare industry will reap tremendous benefits by adopting a common standard for electronic health record systems (EHR-S). The HL7 EHR-S Functional Model outlines important features and functions that should be contained in an EHR system. Through the creation of functional profiles, this model provides a standard description and common understanding of functions for healthcare settings. To date, HL7 has developed or is developing profiles for areas such as child health, emergency care, long term care, behavioral health and vital statistic reporting. The EHR-S Functional Model is also in the final stages of vetting as an international standard through ISO.	a	b	c	d
SAEAF	Clinical documents are the core of a patient's lifetime health record. HL7’s CDA standard provides an exchange model for clinical documents such as discharge summaries and progress notes. A consistent approach to electronic clinical documents means that critical information contained in the documents can be used independently of the application on which it was produced. For example, CDA documents can be displayed using XML-aware Web browsers or wireless applications on mobile devices.	a	b	c	d
Claims Attachments	In response to the federal mandate under HIPAA, HL7 and ASCX12 collaborated for a number of years to develop standards for claims attachments. This joint development effort has resulted in standards for attachments to healthcare claims, and pre-certification / pre-authorization transactions. HL7 attachments standards are based on the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) and have been proposed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as the standard for claims attachments under HIPAA. In the HHS proposal, six attachment types developed by HL7 have been put forward for adoption: clinical reports; rehabilitation services; laboratory results; medications; ambulance services; and emergency department.	a	b	c	d
Clinical Genomics Pedigree Topic	The HL7 Clinical Genomics Pedigree Topic includes the Family History Model describing a patient’s pedigree with genomic data. It has the ability to transmit complete family history information for clinical decision support. This model is ANSI-approved and is the HITSP-accepted standard. This standard allows EHR/PHR interoperability, and is in use by the Surgeon General in his family history collection website: My Family Health Portrait. It is also in the process of becoming of an international standard through ISO.	a	b	c	d
Personal Health Record System Functional Model (PHR-S FM)	The PHR-S FM defines the set of functions for Personal Health Record (PHR) systems and offers guidelines that facilitate health information exchange among different PHR systems and between PHR and Electronic Health Record systems. The PHR-S FM is was published as a Draft Standard for Trial Use (DSTU) in December 2008. During the period of trial use, consumers can begin requesting standards-based functionality when they select PHR systems for their use, vendors can begin incorporating the model’s requirements into their products and organizations that certify PHR systems can begin using the model’s conformance criteria for certification development and testing purposes. Groups such as the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have already begun using components of the PHR-S FM	a	b	c	d
Version 2 Messaging Standard	The Version 2 Messaging Standard is one of the most widely implemented standards for healthcare information in the world. First released in October 1987 as An Application Protocol for Electronic Data Exchange in Healthcare Environments, Version 2 is a messaging standard that allows the exchange of clinical data between systems. It is designed to support a central patient care system as well as a more distributed environment where data resides in departmental systems. Version 2.6, representing the latest update to the Version 2 Standard, was published in January 2008. Version 2.7 is in the final stages of balloting and is expected to be released later this year.	a	b	c	d
Version 3 Normative Edition	The release of HL7’s Version 3 Normative Edition marks a quantum leap in the functionality and interoperability of messaging standards. Version 3 is one of the first in the industry to embrace XML. Several countries throughout the world have already begun significant Version 3 implementations, including the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, Mexico, Germany and Croatia.	a	b	c	d
