Projects

− Agency of the US Public Health Service, Department of Health and Human Services

− Operates a comprehensive health service delivery system for approximately 1.5 million of the nation's 2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives

− 12 Administrative Areas

− 560 Federally recognized tribes

Indian Health Service

Predominantly rural primary care system with some urban locations

Hospital

Ambulatory Center

60% of IHS hospitals and clinics are in remote areas

Background

• HIV: AI/AN rate was 1.5 times the average rate for Whites, 1996-2000

• STD: AI/AN have the 2nd highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, & syphilis of any racial/ ethnic group in US

• TB: AI/AN rate showed smallest decline of any racial/ethnic group since 1992 and was more than twice as high as the U.S. rate in 2002

− IHS Electronic Medical Record System

− Integrated solution for clinical, financial, and administrative information

Resource Patient Management System(RPMS)

Problems encountered by the RPMS with multiple information systems

Logical Observations, Identifier, Names and Codes

March 21, 2003 : HHS, DoD and VA - 1st set of uniform standards for the electronic exchange of clinical health information -all federal agencies that deal with health care data will adopt laboratory LOINC

http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2003pres/20030321a.html

Map to LOINC Project(Objective)

- To develop a semi-automated process to map local laboratory tests files to LOINC

CDC-IHS collaboration December 2000 Funding: April/ May 2001

Map laboratory test names to LOINC Accommodate future changes in test names /codes Meet all data security and confidentiality standards Expand to other sites

Map to LOINC Project(Specific Aims)

Map to LOINC Project(Overall Process)

Automated download of lab test names Automated identification /elimination of duplicates Automated / Manual mapping of unique test names to LOINC Export in HL7 format

Mapped laboratory test names to LOINC Completed our 5 pilot sites (Sept 2002) Generated HL7 messages successfully Expanded to other additional sites (+19) Continue expansion of the project to other IHS sites(100+ sites)

Map to LOINC Project(Current Status and Future Tasks)

Improving Quality of Care

ID-Web Project(Objective)

Feedback on HIV, STDs, and hepatitis BCaseloadCare (13 Clinical Indicators)

Facility B

Facility A

ID-Web Project(Current Status and Future Tasks)

Data validation - FY2003 Expand the project beyond pilot sites - FY2004 Demonstrates a potentially powerful tool to assist providers in

delivering high quality care for HIV, STDs, and Hepatitis B Could be expanded to include other infectious diseases Larger scale implementation will be dependent on:

Perceived value Support of data entry
