Contract from HRSA Jan-Feb. 05Demonstration of Interoperability Across Clinical and Public Health Systems via EHR, HIMSS-2005

4 WHITE PAPER on Electronic Health Record: Public Health Perspectives (EHR-PH) March 2004 Purpose: (1) to communicate to the public health community a need for broader involvement in the national effort to standardize clinical and public health data and information systems, and (2) to describe public health perspectives on the EHR. PHDSC Ad Hoc Task Force on Electronic Health Record-Public Health (EHR-PH)

5 Goal is to contribute to the definition of and development of the pediatric EHR from public health perspectives (PEHR-PH). The PEHR-PH is seen as a two way clinical and public health information interchange for the purpose of providing the best health care service to children. PHDSC Project on Pediatric Electronic Health Record-Public Health (PEHR-PH) Funded by HRSA

8 Cross-mapping of Clinical and Public Health Pediatric Data u Clinical system is a significant source of data for pediatric public health systems u 59% data concepts used in clinical care maps to public health data needs u Significant redundancy can be overcome if EHR systems will populate public health programs
