Implementation Guide for Community Practice he HL7 EHR-S Functional Model defines a standardized model of the functions that may be present in electronic health record (EHR) systems. A “functional profile” is a specification that uses the functional model to indicate those functions that are Trequired for certain EHR systems and delivery settings. The Pharmacist/ Pharmacy Provider Functional Profile is designed to facilitate capturing of clinical medica- tion-related data at the point of care in a single logical health record. The functional profile specifies the requirements needed to support messaging among prescribers, pharmacists or pharmacy providers, and other health care entities benefiting from medication-related information.

The Functional Profile, Release 1, was reviewed by the Pharmacist Services Technical Ad- visory Coalition (PSTAC) Workgroup 4 with the goal of publishing an implementation guide specific to an EHR for a community pharmacy practice setting. Based on findings from a survey of system vendors, the implementation guide’s focus was narrowed from the function- al profile’s scope, which had encompassed all pharmacy practice settings. It was decided that reducing the work necessary to develop a community pharmacy practice EHR would shorten the software development cycle and gain system vendor support for earlier implementation.

HL7 EHR-System for a Pharmacist/Pharmacy Electronic Health Record Implementation Guide for Community Practice 5 This implementation guide represents the content of the following chapters of the HL7 Func- tional Profile.

Chapter 3: Direct Care Functions

Chapter 4: Supportive Functions

Chapter 5: Information Infrastructure Functions

The implementation guide follows the format of the functional profile, which is as follows:

- Identification Number of the Specific Function

- Name of the Function

- Statement/Description of the Function

- Conformance Criteria

The functional profile divides the conformance criteria into the following categories:

• Those functions that the EHR shall have or that are required

• Those functions that the EHR should have but are not required

• Those functions that the EHR may have but are not required

Functions that were designated as optional are not included in this implementation guide, because they were not considered essential to the EHR at this time.

The PSTAC workgroup established timelines for the conformance criteria. The required conformance criteria (SHALL) within a functional area, which were given an implementation date of Jan. 1, 2015, are included in this implementation guide. The PSTAC Workgroup 4 identified additional criteria (SHOULD or MAY) for conformance in 2017 and 2018 or beyond. Those criteria will be published in a future guide.

For example, an EHR-S might only allow supervising providers’ context authorization to attest to entries proposed by residents under their supervision. In addition to the ISO standard, context authorization for an EHR-S is extended to satisfy special circumstances such as, work assignment, patient consents and authorizations, or other healthcare-related factors. A context-based example is a patient-granted authorization to a specific third party for a limited period to view specific EHR records. Another example is a right granted for a limited period to view those, and only those, EHR records connected to a specific topic of investiga- tion.

EHR information with the entities (applications, institutions, directories) it expects. This function depends on entity au- thorization and authentication to be available in the system. For example, a practice management application in an EHR-S might send claim attachment information to an external entity. To accomplish this, the application must use a secure routing method, which ensures that both the sender and receiving sides are authorized to engage in the informa- tion exchange. Known sources and destinations can be estab- lished in a static setup or they can be dynamically determined. Examples of a static setup are recordings of IP addresses or recordings of DNS names. For dynamic determination of known sources and destinations systems can use authenti- cation mechanisms as described in IN.1.1. For example, the sending of a lab order from the EHR-S to a lab system within the same organization usually uses a simple static setup for routing. In contrast sending a lab order to a reference lab outside of the organization will involve some kind of authen- tication process. In general, when the underlying network infrastructure is secure (e.g. secure LAN or VPN) the simple static setup is used.

Description: An EHR-S may consist of a set of components or applications; each application manages a subset of the health information. Therefore it is important that, through various interoperability mechanisms, an EHR-S maintains all the rel- evant information regarding the health record in synchrony. For example, if a physician orders an MRI, a set of diagnostic images and a report will be created. The patient demographics, the order for MRI, the diagnostic images asso- ciated with the order, and the report associated with the study must all be synchronized in order for the clinicians to view the complete record.

Description: An EHR-S enables an authorized user, such as a clinician, to access and aggregate the distributed informa- tion, which corresponds to the health record or records that are needed for viewing, reporting, disclosure, etc. An EHR-S must support data extraction operations across the complete data set that constitutes the health record of an individual and provide an output that fully chronicles the healthcare process. Data extractions are used as input to patient care coordina- tion between facilities, organizations and settings. In addition, data extractions can be used for administrative, financial, research, quality analysis, public health purposes, and to enable re-creation of copies for importing into different EHR applications and enable the archiving of patients’ data.

Description: Management of security and interop- erability are critical to use of registry and directory service functions. These services enable the linking of relevant information across multiple information sources within, or external to, an EHR-S for use within an application. Directories and registries support communication between EHR Systems and may be organized hierarchically or in a federated fashion. For example, a patient being treated by a primary care physician for a chronic condition may become ill while out of town. The new provider’s EHR-S interrogates a local, regional, or national registry to find the patient’s previ- ous records. From the primary care record, a remote EHR-S retrieves relevant information in conformance with applica- ble patient privacy and confidentiality rules. An example of local registry usage is an EHR-S application sending a query message to the Hospital to retrieve a pa- tient’s demographic data. Registry and directory services are not essential to a standalone electronic prescribing system. However, if provided, the criteria would apply.

For example, manage terminology assets and supporting terminologies for public health interoperability may differ tools (internal or external to the EHR-S). from those for healthcare quality, administrative reporting, research, etc. Formal standard terminology models enable common semantic representations by describing relation- ships that exist between concepts within a terminology or in different terminologies, such as exemplified in the model descriptions contained in the HL7 Common Terminology Ser- vices specification. The clinical use of standard terminologies is greatly enhanced with the ability to perform hierarchical in- ference searches across coded concepts. Hierarchical Infer- ence enables searches to be conducted across sets of coded concepts stored in an EHR-S. Relationships between concepts in the terminology are used in the search to recognize child concepts of a common parent. For example, there may be a parent concept, “penicillin containing preparations” which has numerous child concepts, each of which represents a preparation containing a specific form of penicillin (Penicillin V, Penicillin G, etc.). Therefore, a search may be conducted to find all patients taking any form of penicillin preparation. Clinical and other terminologies may be provided through a terminology service internal or external to an EHR-S. An example of a terminology service is described in the HL7 Common Terminology Services specification. Informative examples of other HL7 and non-HL7 standards include: Standard information models: - HL7 Clinical Document Architecture Release 2 - ISO/EN 13606 Electronic Health Record Communication NCPDP SCRIPT Standard terminologies: - LOINC - SNOMED - ICD-9, ICD-10 - CPT-4 - NDC - UNII - NDF-RT - UCUM - NCI EVS”. IN.5 H Stan- Statement: Provide automated health care delivery process- dards-based es and seamless exchange of clinical, administrative, and Interoperability financial information through standards- based solutions. Description: Interoperability standards enable an EHR-S EN to operate as a set of applications. This results in a unified view of the system where the reality is that several disparate systems may be coming together. Interoperability standards also enable the sharing of information between EHR systems, including the participation in regional, national, or interna- tional information exchanges. Timely and efficient access to information and capture of information is promoted with minimal impact to the user.

A variety of interaction modes are typically supported such as: - Unsolicited Notifications, e.g. a patient has arrived for a clinic appointment - Query/Response e.g., Is Adam Everyman known to the sys- tem? Yes, MRN is 12345678. - Service Request and Response, e.g., Laboratory Order for “Fasting Blood Sugar” and a response containing the results of the test. - Information Interchange between organizations (e.g. in a RHIO, or in a National Health System) - Structured/discrete clinical documents, e.g., Clinical Note - Unstructured clinical document, e.g., dictated surgical note Standard terminology is a fundamental part of interopera- bility and is described in section IN.4. Using a formal explicit information model further optimizes interoperability. An example of an information model is the HL7 Reference Infor- mation Model (RIM). Organizations typically need to deal with more than one information model and may need to develop a mapping or a meta-model.

It is critical that an organization know the version of any given standard it uses and what its requirements and capabilities are. Standards typically evolve in such a way as to protect back- wards compatibility. However, sometimes there is little, or no, backwards compatibility when an organization may need to replace an entire standard with a new methodology. Interchange standards that are backward compatible support exchange among senders and receivers who are using different versions. Version control ensures that those sending information in a later version of a standard consider the difference in information content that can be interchanged effectively with receivers, who are capable of processing only earlier versions. That is, senders need to be aware of the information that receivers are unable to capture and adjust their business processes accordingly. Version control enables multiple versions of the same interchange standard to exist and be distinctly recognized over time. Since interchange standards are usually periodically updated, concurrent use of different versions may be required. Large (and/or feder- ated) organizations typically need to use different versions of an interchange standard to meet internal organizational interoperability requirements. When interchange standards change over time, it is important that retrospective analysis and research correlate and note gaps between the different versions’ information structures to support the permanence of con- cepts over time.

An EHR-S audits changes made to business rules, as well as compliance to and over- rides of applied business rules. Description: EHR-S business rule implementation functions include: decision support, diagnostic support, workflow control, and access privileges, as well as system and user defaults and preferences. An EHR-S supports the ability of providers and institutions to customize decision support com- ponents such as triggers, rules, or algorithms, as well as the wording of alerts and advice to meet realm specific require- ments and preferences. Examples of applied business rules include: - Suggesting diagnosis based on the combination of symp- toms (flu-like symptoms combined with widened mediasti- num suggesting anthrax); - Classifying a pregnant patient as high risk due to factors such as age, health status, and prior pregnancy outcomes; - Sending an update to an immunization registry when a vac- cination is administered; - Limiting access to mental health information to authorized providers; - Establishing system level defaults such as for vocabulary data sets to be implemented.; and - Establishing user level preferences such as allowing the use of health information for research purposes. 13-294 HL7 EHR-System for a Pharmacist/Pharmacy Electronic Health Record Implementation Guide for Community Practice 38 Acknowledgements The following representatives of the Pharmacist Collaborative, in a Workgroup devoted to Pharmacist EHR, developed this Implementation Guide:
