GCPR Near-Term Solution System Design Review John Leslie PRC Health Informatics Systems & Services Chief Architect GCPR Project
Purpose/Scope The purpose is to pass certain medical records on a select group of Department of Defense (DoD) patients through the GCPR Framework to the Veterans Affairs (VA) to be used by the VA's clinicians who will read the records using the VA's CPRS. This will achieve partial fulfillment of Presidential Review Directive 5 (PRD 5). The scope is to provide a bridging network between Agency Systems. The information, which is to be exchanged, is defined in a number of “Partitions” which are defined by the Information Model.
Real Scope NTS Discharged/Retired only Batch messaging HL7 v2.2 Limited set of information
Information View RIM/RTM –Initial delivery as GFI December ‘00 –UML Clinical Records in “Templates” –Describe structure of data exposed by Framework –Represented internally as Graphs –NTS Templates Laboratory (Chem, Micro, AP, BB) Radiology Reports Outpatient Medications Person Identity –Positively Identify Persons –Locate Clinical Record
GCPR NTS Datatypes
NTS Lab Template
NTS Rad Template
NTS Meds Template
Graph Generic structure based on meta-classes ‘Normalized’ representation inside Framework Based on RIM Each Graph represents records
