Session Objectives 1 C-HIEP Overview 1 Technical Components 2 NHIN Integration into CMS 3 Challenges, Lessons Learned and Next Steps 4 HIMSS 20102

What is C-HIEP? 17 Proof-of-concept Align with national standards for data interoperability Move towards a uniform, harmonized data set Move towards enhancing the ability for communication and coordination of care across settings Continuity Assessment Record & Evaluation CARE Health Information Exchange Project HIEP HIMSS 20103

C-HIEP 3 Zone Architecture HIMSS 20108

C-HIEP Challenges to Date Participants Differences in technical maturity, business models capabilities, and data availability/interoperability Specifications No “Push” NHIN Spec Available (i.e. Query and Retrieve, HIEM) No existing HITSP specification aligned to CARE/C-HIEP data set Policy Privacy: Requirement to de-identify C-HIEP data challenging for case-threading NHIN DURSA Technical Larger data volumes available than anticipated Maturity of NHIN & compatibility within CMS HIMSS 20109

Next Steps Continue technical development and testing of C-HIEP components Production data submission from HIOs to begin summer ‘10 Continued work on data set and standards for interoperability Gathering of lessons learned and re-aligned objectives for future phases of the CARE data set HIMSS
