Here is the draft Scope of Work for this requirement: Definitions: Health Information Exchange (HIE) is defined as the mobilization of healthcare information electronically across organizations within a region or community. ?Health Information Service Provider? (HSP) - a role that can be played by different types of entities and organizations that meet criteria for the provision of core health information exchange services and abide by relevant polices and procedures Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) is a ?network of networks? that will facilitate the accurate, appropriate, timely, and secure exchange of health information that allows information to follow the consumer and supports clinical decision making. Scope of Work Draft 04/09/07 The purpose of this is to establish a near real-time electronic nationwide public health situational awareness capability through an interoperable network of systems, e.g., Nationwide Health Information Network, to share data and information to enhance rapid response to, and management of, potentially catastrophic infectious disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies. The capability is dependent on simultaneous provision of data and information to all levels of public health. A successful HIE must standardize information storage and messaging formats, address privacy concerns, accurately identify patients, and resolve varying local, state, and federal regulations. The factors below address this activity: 1. Interoperability Standards Contractors will implement the relevant HHS recognized interoperability standards accepted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services in December 2006. See the Executive Order: Promoting Quality and Efficient Health Care in Federal Government Administered or Sponsored Health Care Programs at http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/08/20060822-2.html and standards at http://www.hhs.gov/healthit/standards.html 2. Minimum Data Set for Biosurveillance. Contractors will implement and iteratively evaluate the Minimum Data Set (MDS) accepted by the American Health Information Community. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. Harmonized Use Case for Biosurveillance (Visit, Utilization and Lab Results Data). 2006 [cited 2006 Dec 1]); Available from: http://www.hhs.gov/healthit/usecases/ 3. NHIN Health Information Service Provider Contractors will ensure the core services and relevant use case capabilities are enabled by a NHIN HSP. Core services are services, capabilities, behaviors and functions in the following areas: i. Data Services ii. Consumer Capabilities iii. User and Subject Identity Management iv. Exchange Management Services 4. Bi-directional Communications Contractors will implement bi-directional communication for the dissemination and interactive exchange of information, both horizontally and vertically, between the general public, clinical care entities, public health entities, and incident command entities using a common set of communications standards to support alerting and exchange of contact information between public health and clinical care. Contractors will build on existing rules and policies for appropriate sharing of patient and institution information that balance information protection and access or propose innovative rules. 5. Data Quality Management and Accessibility Contractors will use an architecture approach to data storage that protects privacy and provides simultaneous access for local, state, and federal agencies. This architecture will support both national anonymized record level data for routine analysis and provide authorized re-identification during emergency investigations. Contractors will provide data quality control and data documentation consistent with public health surveillance analytic practices and procedures to establish and maintain a near real-time electronic nationwide public health situation awareness capability. 6. Data Evaluation and Assessment to Detect, Characterize and Track a Public Health Threat Contractors will develop visualization, analysis, and interpretation tools for decision support in the event of a public health threat. These tools will be shared with federal agencies. 7. Effectiveness, Costs, and Scalability Contractors will provide evidence of effectiveness, costs, and scalability of sub-network configurations for connecting healthcare and public health entities.
