The Sequoia Project and subcontractors, including Carequality, are the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology’s (ONC) Recognized Coordinating Entity (RCE) for a single on-ramp for nationwide connectivity for health information exchange. The RCE is responsible for developing, updating, implementing and maintaining the Common Agreement component of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). The Common Agreement will create the baseline technical and legal requirements for health information networks to share electronic health information and is part of the 21st Century Cures Act. The speakers will review the current scope and requirements of the TEFCA and the progress made by the RCE in collaboration with ONC to include the Common Agreement and the Qualified Health Information Network Technical Framework. Opportunities for stakeholder and community input will be presented.
Wednesday
Improving Healthcare Outcomes by Enhancing Data Quality
Wednesday, August 11 at 10:15 am – 11:15 am PST Venetian, Murano 3201
Speaker: Paul Wilder, Executive Director, Commonwell Health Alliance
The journey from data sharing to improved health outcomes is dependent on high-quality clinical data. Without it, it is difficult for providers to make the best clinical decisions possible, and the ability to optimize care processes and coordinated care becomes an impediment to improving health outcomes. CommonWell Health Alliance (CHA), the veterans’ health information exchange, and CHA members have collaborated to create a new Data Quality Framework in order to evaluate real clinical data to establish improvement activities to incrementally improve the quality and consistency. The framework strives to enhance clinicians’ abilities to improve patient outcomes so that data exchanged can be easily ingested into receiving systems and used by clinicians for decision-making.
Unleashing Unstructured Value Through Artificial Intelligence
Wednesday, August 11 at 10:45 am – 11:45 am PDT
Caesars, Booth C200 – Interoperability Showcase – Theater
Unstructured data plagues the healthcare industry, as it resists automation and bogs down workflows. With the implementation of 21st Century Cures Act, more and more information will need to be interoperable outside of your organization. In this session, they will discuss how OCR and Natural Language Processing can close the digital divide in Healthcare.
Thursday
