Description

It is well known that “plug and play” health care information exchange interoperability is rarely seamless. Knowledgeable clinical informaticists are necessary to clarify requirements, build interfaces, define useable terminologies, and manipulate the plugs that allow all of us to play. Recent experiences gained through real implementations based on evolving standards have highlighted the importance of simultaneously crafting the model with the standard terminology and aligning this with real-world content. Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) provides a standard data model but the model can be profiled differing ways thus impeding interoperability. Clinical Information Modeling Initiative (CIMI) models provides one solution for standardizing FHIR profiles.
The goal of this panel is to educate attendees about the CIMI modeling structure and vocabulary management and how it can be represented using FHIR profiles. This knowledge will equip clinical informaticists with the knowledge to intelligently work in the trenches with their vendors and within their own EHR implementations to achieve ‘plug and play’ interoperability over time.
