Federal Health Information Exchange (FHIE)
Information Sharing in Operation
10
Federal Health Information Exchange (FHIE)
Successfully completes Phase I of JEHRI – operational at all VA medical centers
since 2002---Fifth Anniversary on Memorial Day !
One-way transmission of electronic military health data from DoD’s legacy health
information system, CHCS, to VA’s VistA Computerized Patient Record System
(CPRS) – the point of care
Averages over 17,000 uses of FHIE/BHIE data each week (compared to 8,200
last year)*
DoD has transmitted data to the FHIE repository on approximately 3.7M
unique patients*
VA has provided care or treatment or benefits to over half of the unique DoD
patients using FHIE data *
Permits VHA clinicians and VBA disability claims processors to view historical DoD
data: Patient Demographics for Identity Management, Laboratory results,
Radiology reports, Outpatient Government and Retail Pharmacy data, Allergy data,
Admission, Disposition and Transfer (ADT) data, Consultation Reports, Discharge
Summaries, and outpatient coding from DoD’s Standard Ambulatory Data Record
Intergovernmental Solutions Finalist, 2005
*As of 9 May 2007 11
Pre & Post Deployment Health Assessments
Re-used FHIE architecture to support the ability of VA clinicians and VBA
examiners to view with CPRS historical pre- and post-deployment health
assessment (PPDHA) data on separated Service members. These data are
collected prior to and immediately following deployments by Service Members,
Reserve and National Guard members and include:
Patient Identity
Deployment locations
Immunizations
Hazardous exposures
Physical and mental health assessments
Operational in VA since December 2005
DoD has transmitted over 1.7M PPDHA on more than 700,000
individuals who are separated Service members and Reserve and
National Guard Members who have been deployed and are now
demobilized*
DoD continues to send monthly updates provided to VA containing data
on separating Service members and demobilized Reserve and National
Guard Members
Operational in VA since December 2006, DoD Post Deployment Health
Reassessment data is available from DoD through weekly transmissions for
follow-up care in VA 12
*As of May 2007
CHCS-VistA
Bidirectional Health Information Exchange
(BHIE)
Bridging the Gap
13
BHIE Interoperability Goals
To provide the best healthcare possible to
the U.S. Military and our Veterans
Operate a joint system for transfer of
electronic health information between DoD
and VA that contributes to veterans’ health
Provide on-demand electronic health
information to assist in the compensation
process
Ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations
and security requirements with existing
systems
Create an environment for storing very
sensitive information
Use a patient-focused information technology
familiar to authorized VA and DoD users
14
Bidirectional Health Information Exchange (BHIE)
BHIE brings real-time, bidirectional exchange of current medical information
reusing FHIE infrastructure between CHCS and VistA CPRS – current health
information systems
BHIE supports the care of shared patients at joint sites, including dependents
Bidirectional transmittal and display of:
Patient Identification Management
Outpatient pharmacy information
Allergy data
Laboratory result data, including microbiology and pathology reports
Radiology text reports
Discharge Summaries*
Initial VA implementation in October 2004 and now operational at all VA sites
and select DoD sites worldwide
Currently exploring increasing domains of data available through BHIE

Lessons Learned
Significant differences exist between VA and
DoD
Information systems
Policies and practice
Workflow/ business practice
Terminology/expectations
Many end-user requirements for use of remote
data are similar between VA and DoD; between
VA’s, and between VA and private or affiliated
health care systems
44
Lessons Learned
Discharge “Summary” Example
Seven different discharge documents, including
summary, note, and ER discharge note
DC Summary contains billing information with ICD
and CPT codes but not narrative
Multi-disciplinary discharge note looks most like VA
DC Summary but:
Not authenticated by signature of responsible
physician
Remains editable by members of the care team
Resident determines complexity of care and
need for formal dictated summary
45
46
47
48
Lessons Learned
Direct patient care benefits will increase as
users gain familiarity/experience and
capabilities expand
Continuity
Improved case management capabilities
Safety
Medication reconciliation
Efficiency
Reduced redundancy
Timesaving in clinical process flow
Timeliness
49
Lessons Learned
Best access to remote data is integrated into
local EMR, or at least context linked
Maintenance of multiple accounts not viable solution
Security and firewall issues are complex
Communication across systems is critical
Verify assumptions and direction regularly
Downtime issues
Differences in ability to handle different
document types needs to be addressed
There is room for significant improvement in the
user interface – opportunity for joint
development
50
LessonsLearned – HIMS View
Differing document definitions
Discharge summary vs Multi-disciplinary discharge note
Version control
Handling amended/corrected records
Best if records are maintained by parent facility and accessed when
needed, rather than keeping a local copy
Record signing/authentication policies differ and need to be understood
Care is documented in system where patient is seen, even care provided by VA
staff at DoD facility
Potential for more extensive access to data across VA and DoD systems than
veterans may be aware of at present
Differences in coding may exist but don’t impact current reimbursement
mechanisms between VA and DoD
51
Lessons Learned
Positive Aspects of VA DoD Environment
Common patient identifiers, correlation
framework, and secure exchange environment
(through BHIE) is a huge advantage
Sharing agreements in place in many locations
Information exchange covered by Privacy Act
“Routine Uses” 43 and 47
Common mission and patient population
Local and enterprise staff with extensive
experience in electronic medical records
52
Summary
Data exchange capabilities are rapidly
expanding between VA and DoD
Computable data will be increasingly available
to support activities like order checks (RDI) and
decision support
Standards/Standardization and improved user
interfaces are needed to optimize systems
It will be a challenge to keep clinical practice
patterns, workflow, and policies up to date with
technologic capabilities – but well worth the
effort
53

The Clinical Data Repository / Health Data
Repository (CHDR)
The Interoperable Health Record
55
Where CHDR Fits
Supports interoperability between DoD’s
Clinical Data Repository (CDR) &
VA’s Health Data Repository (HDR)
Two-way, enterprise exchange
of computable data between
next-generation systems 56
CHDR Overview
What CHDR does
Enables the VA's HDR and the DoD's CDR to exchange
computable data
CHDR Functions
Establish ADC: Standalone application to “mark” patients having
dual care eligibility as “Active Dual Consumers”
Data Exchange & Flow: An initial exchange of data at “marking”,
and subsequent flow whenever one side or the other has new data
to share
How it does it and how it is used
Standardization & Mediation: Uses an agreed terminology standard
as a translator into each agency’s native vocabulary
Persisted: Data from DoD becomes part of the VA patient's medical
record and vice versa
Query: RDV & VistAWeb (DoD’s AHLTA)
Decision Support: RDI (DoD’s PDTS) real time drug-drug and drug-
drug allergy alerts 57
CHDR Program Structure
Program and Project Management
Mirrored within each agency
Interagency Program Support Office with manager and
shared contract support staff providing
Liaison for interagency communications and issue management
Oversight of Interagency Project Management Plan
Oversight of agency internal and interagency dependencies
Facilitation of standardization and mediation
Autonomy and Interdependence
Common requirements, products and timelines
Independent management of agency issues and responsibilities
Independent culture and processes (e.g. Field Test, Release)
Agencies determine their own mechanisms for processing data in
their respective applications 58
Domain Sequencing
Initial Domains: Outpatient pharmacy and drug allergy
Began exchanging data for Active Dual Consumers June 2006
