Cross-enterprise Document Workflow (XDW) Brief Profile Proposal for 2009/10 presented to the IT Infrastructure Planning Committee Charles Parisot, Claudio Saccavini, Luca Zalunardo, Arianna Cocchiglia October, 18 th 2010

IT Infrastructure Planning Committee XDW - Key Elements This proposal focuses on the Cross-Enterprise Workflow for Document Sharing in support of workflow document and status management. Key elements: Managing workflow specific status with relationship to one or more documentsManaging workflow specific status with relationship to one or more documents Tracking the health care entity that change a status associated to a workflow stepTracking the health care entity that change a status associated to a workflow step Tracking the past steps of the workflow related to specific clinical eventTracking the past steps of the workflow related to specific clinical event

IT Infrastructure Planning Committee Alignment with the bisiness healthcare: Italian example To have a scale of the problem, an analysis has been performed on some Italian data: 550 million prescriptions issued each year (paper and electronic today).550 million prescriptions issued each year (paper and electronic today). the lack of a workflow management for ePrescriptions/eReferrals results in some of these to be dispensed/performed twice, or not dispensed/performed. This causes a loss of about 7 8% of the National Healthcare budget (about 14 billion of Euro).the lack of a workflow management for ePrescriptions/eReferrals results in some of these to be dispensed/performed twice, or not dispensed/performed.

IT Infrastructure Planning Committee Analysis of different solutions Alternative SolutionsWhy or why not? Management of the different status inside the CDA of the Clinical Document Not possible because at the moment of publication the CDA is elettronic signatured and so not more modificable Manage of the status with new addictional metadata Not possible to manage the history of the changes and also this is not a flaxible solution for different requirements. Status MachineThis solution is possible but not the best solution because it is not flexible to the different clinical scenarious and into collaborative systems and communities Document WorkflowThis is the best solution because it allow to manage the status of related documents with the possibility to manage the historical changement of documents status. Moreover this document will become a clinical document ad so its correct to structure it as a CDA

IT Infrastructure Planning Committee Proposed Standards & Systems ITI Afferent IHE Profiles:ITI Afferent IHE Profiles: –XDS.b, DSUB, NAV, XCA, BPPC, ATNA, XDR Afferent IHE Profiles:Afferent IHE Profiles: –Pharmacy - CMPD, PCC - PCCP, XDS-MS, RAD, LABs, Cardiology, Ophthalmology, Mammo CAD, etc. Other standards items:Other standards items: –HL7 CDA Stability and robustness:Stability and robustness: –No new transaction are introduced –The only new actor introduced is Workflow Document Consumer but it is an XDS Doc Consumer and Source grouped together –No XDS Metadata extension expected, but specific rules about Metadata content for the workflow Document

IT Infrastructure Planning Committee Discussion This proposal arises from the necessity to manage the documents in pharmacy area but it also answers to the infrastructure requires from other profiles and domains, for ex. PCCP (Patient Centered Coordination Plan), Pharmacy Domain (Extension to Community Medication Prescription and Dispense)This proposal arises from the necessity to manage the documents in pharmacy area but it also answers to the infrastructure requires from other profiles and domains, for ex. PCCP (Patient Centered Coordination Plan), Pharmacy Domain (Extension to Community Medication Prescription and Dispense) It proposes a more general approach which allows to extend the management of workflow that rely on the clinical documents in many different care areas.It proposes a more general approach which allows to extend the management of workflow that rely on the clinical documents in many different care areas.

IT Infrastructure Planning Committee Discussion The value statement of this proposal is: The standardization of the workflows management transactions and the associated workflow tracking structure linked with clinical eventsThe standardization of the workflows management transactions and the associated workflow tracking structure linked with clinical events The creation of a document structure able to respond at the present and possibly to extend to future requirementsThe creation of a document structure able to respond at the present and possibly to extend to future requirements This profile proposal benefits many domains. So it increases the consistency of workflow interoperability and the skill to solve the requests of the various care areas. It will avoid that different competing solutions are developed in the different domains. It is necessary to create an IT Infrastructure Profile in this field.This profile proposal benefits many domains.

IT Infrastructure Planning Committee Effort Estimates The work effort (in term of documentation) for profiling the XDW is low because there arent new transactions and the new actor, the Workflow Doc Consumer, is only assemblage of two already existing actors.The work effort (in term of documentation) for profiling the XDW is low because there arent new transactions and the new actor, the Workflow Doc Consumer, is only assemblage of two already existing actors. The work will be focused on the definition of a basic workflow document structure, its document entry metadata rules and the principles to define workflow content profiles by ITI and other IHE Domains (e.g. definition of the possible status in the specific) clinical processThe work will be focused on the definition of a basic workflow document structure, its document entry metadata rules and the principles to define workflow content profiles by ITI and other IHE Domains (e.g. definition of the possible status in the specific) clinical process Profile editors:Profile editors: –Luca Zalunardo, Arsenàl.IT, –Arianna Cocchiglia, Arsenàl.IT, –Organization: Arsenàl.IT,
