Background Steven Posnack M.S., M.H.S., Director, Office of Standards and Technology Frank Cunningham, Policy Officer, Health & Well-being Unit, DG CONNECT

EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Memorandum of Understanding
It started with a Memorandum of Understanding In December 2010, the European Commission and the US Department of Health and Human Services signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to: Help facilitate more effective uses of eHealth/Health IT; Strengthen their international relationship; and Support global cooperation in the area of health related information and communication technologies In August 2013, two work groups were launched - Interoperability and Workforce Development Steve – this work all started with a Memorandum of understanding signed between then Secretary Kathleen Sebilius of the US and then European Commission Vice President, Neelie Kroes. The goals were to Help facilitate more effective uses of eHealth/Health IT; Strengthen their international relationship; and Support global cooperation in the area of health related information and communication technologies – In order to operationalize these goals 2 workgroups were formed – Interoperability and Workforce Development. On the call today we will be hearing from the community members of the Workforce development work group as well as consumers of this work. The achievements of this workgroup are a testament to the completion of the goals outlined in the MOU and a major accomplishment for all of those involved in moving this work forward Workforce Development

EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Goals and Objectives
Goals of the EU-US Workforce Development Workgroup: To achieve a robust supply of health professionals highly proficient in the use of HIT To assure current and future workforces have the required technology skills needed to be successful, and enhance experience and performance within the eHealth/Health IT Ecosystem To support an innovative collaborative community of public- and private sector eHealth/Health IT entities, working toward the shared objective of developing, deploying, and using eHealth science and technology To define standards, develop competencies and produce useful tools that support this work Steve – As important as interoperability is, the determination of interoperability success is not on technology alone. Interoperability requires a both a human and technology solution. Without skilled health IT workers, interoperability cannot be achieved. In order to make interoperability happen a focus needed to be placed on the education and development of a qualified workforce. The workforce worgroup , with the help of a roadmap went about the task of coming up with actionable and achievable goals which included: Achieving a robust supply of health professionals proficient in Health IT, Assuring current and future workforces are prepared for an ever advancing HealthIT environment, Supporting a collaborative multi-national community, Defining competency standards for the HealthIT profession including tools to help advance and support this work. The workgroup will

EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Membership
Work Group Members represented 13 countries/regions Canada England Finland France Germany Greece Ireland Israel Italy Mexico Norway Scotland United States Steve – the collaborative goals of the MOU can be seen in the number of countries participating and contributing the Workforce workgroup activities which included the input of 13 different countries/regions. This is an impressive multinational collaboration and I thank everyone of the members of these countries for their thoughtful, timely and dedicated contributions to the success of this work

EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Review of Achievements
Members met every week for 20 months, in addition to extra meetings, conferences and presentations to achieve: Identified a health care setting in which to evaluate health IT competencies Mapping roles in the selected healthcare setting between the US and the EU Categorizing roles into Domain, Skill Level and Type Compiling and aggregating data from over 3000 HIT competencies, supplied by 15+ health information organizations and sources Integrating Bloom’s taxonomy and instructional design concepts Synthesizing data down to standard HIT competencies Developing a consumer tool in which to access these standard HealthIT competencies Steve: In the last 21 months the Workforce workgroup with significant contributions from the community has been able to achieve: (see bullets on slide above). Again the leadership of this work is grateful and humbled by the talent and dedication of all of those individuals who made these achievements possible. For more discussion on how these goals were achieved I am going to hand this over to Jamie for a brief review of each of these accomplishments

Jamie Parker, Project Manager – EU-US eHealth Workforce Workgroup
Achieving our Goal ….How Did You Do That??? Jamie Parker, Project Manager – EU-US eHealth Workforce Workgroup

EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative The Work Plan
In order to achieve the goal to define standards, develop competencies and produce useful tools supporting the mission of the Workforce Development Workgroup We broke the work down into 5 steps: 1 Identify the setting 2 Identify Roles in setting; map US roles to corresponding EU roles 3 Collect existing eHealth/Health IT competencies 4 Categorize competencies 5 Review the categorized competencies for accuracy & applicability, identifying gaps where necessary Jamie

EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Step 1: Identifying the Setting…
We solicited several Settings where we could evaluate roles against Health IT competencies Selection Criteria Stable and consistent Little variance Organized similarly Relatively common functions and definitions Short list of setting options included: Jamie Long-term care Pharmacy Ambulatory care Acute Care Rehabilitation center Clinics (Flu, HIV etc.) Selected

We agreed to focus on those roles in the selected Acute Care Setting
EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Step 2: Identifying and Mapping Roles We agreed to focus on those roles in the selected Acute Care Setting We collated and mapped the Acute Care roles from the US to those in the EU Resulted in 250 unique Acute Care roles Mapped roles in English and four EU languages Applied Categorization in order to map them to competencies Domain Skill Level Type Jamie

Step 3: Gathering Competencies
EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Step 3: Gathering Competencies We gathered competencies from 15+ organizations from both the EU and US These included competencies from: Universities and Colleges Federal/Government Entities Professional Associations Resulted in the collection of over 3000 unique Health IT competencies Jamie From each silo, hundreds of competencies were categorized into domains and competency areas, and assigned a preliminary level Each competency was reviewed, synthesized, and, where appropriate, revised for greater TransAtlantic usefulness, appropriateness and applicability before adoption by the community after a formal consensus process We collated over 3000 competencies from 13 derivative areas for competencies and curricula, including AHIMA-AMIA, IMIA, US Department of Labor, National Health Service UK (NHS-UK), Cuyahoga Community College, Texas HIT, HIMSS worldwide, and the European e-Competency Framework and others*

We manually applied categorization to all 3000+ competencies
EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Step 4: Categorizing Competencies We manually applied categorization to all competencies Categorized competencies into the following: Domain (Direct Patient Care, Administrative, Informatics, Engineering/ICT, Research) Area of Competency (e.g. Privacy & Security, Clinical Decision Support, etc.) Skill Level (baseline, basic, intermediate, advanced, expert) Used concepts of building blocks, ensuring a way to build upon a single competency, from Baseline to Expert Jamie Roles are in five domains, from Baseline to Expert levels, with high applicability for defining, developing and expanding existing and emerging healthcare workforce members worldwide

We reviewed and reworked the competencies
EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Step 5: Evaluating Each Competency… We reviewed and reworked the competencies First, we filtered by domain, evaluated all competencies in that domain from basic to expert, and then: Removed duplicate competencies Removed those that did not apply or that were not strongly Health IT/eHealth focused Reworded competencies to make them applicable Differentiate between the types of content of patient health records (such as paper-based records, scanned records, electronic medical record, personal health record, patient-supplied data, etc.) Define EMR and PHR Data versus information Know types of health records Jamie

To synthesize the competencies, we:
EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Step 5: Evaluating Each Competency continued To synthesize the competencies, we: Integrated Bloom’s taxonomy and adult learning principles into competencies Producing standardized competencies Making competencies usable in formal educational and workplace settings Jamie Enhancing usability for career entry, career development/ladder progression, staffing, job description development, instructional design, curriculum development, and more Provides a standards-based framework Increases interoperability Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives provides standard classifications for the many nebulous terms often encountered in competency/curriculum development and evaluation The interoperability of this process can be leveraged when mapping competencies and curriculum (using the Blooms Taxonomy), or when consolidating this work with similar initiatives, etc.

eHealth is not just about systems, it’s about people
EU-US eHealth Collaboration Initiative Achieving the Goals Adoption of Competencies: We aggregated, catalogued and synthesized this data into targeted HIT competencies Adoption after formal voting and consensus process Adopted competencies are interoperable with educators, curriculum developers and workforce initiatives throughout EU and US Poised for further alignment with existing industry standards, certification bodies and educational programs (i.e., apprenticeships, just-in-time workplace training, eHealth/Health IT occupational coding, etc.) Jamie eHealth is not just about systems, it’s about people Interoperability is not just a technical challenge – it requires a skilled workforce to make it happen

Thoughts From Industry and the Community – an Inspired Discussion on Using this Work
HIMSS T.I.G.E.R. community Jean Roberts – Director (Standards) UK Council for Health Informatics Profession Scott Zacks, CHTS – Mount Hood Community College Health IT Instructor, Health IT Consultant Gora Datta – Vice Chair IEEE Orange County Section Kim Tuminaro – US Department of State, Senior Trade Officer TTIP and TEC Coordinator

TIGER Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) is dedicated to advancing the integration of health informatics to transform education and practice. Focused on better preparing the clinical workforce to use technology and informatics to improve the delivery of patient care. The TIGER Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), powered by HIMSS, is a one-stop online health IT education portal for academic professionals, students, adult learners and clinical educators. The VLE contains vetted resources reflective of core international competencies to take you from A to Z in health IT. This personalized learning experience is designed to expand skillsets in a self-paced format. Easily integrate health IT modules and resources into your curriculum Thematically organized curriculum based on basic, intermediate and advanced user levels Download Electronic Health Record (EHR) demo software Utilize modules and industry publications vetted by the TIGER VLE Subject Matter Expert Workgroup

How TIGER utilized HITCOMP
TIGER VLE Subject Matter Expert Workgroup utilized the HITCOMP resource to assist with synthesizing/harmonizing a broad variety of interdisciplinary competencies that represent multiple user layers from basic interdisciplinary healthcare providers up to informaticians. ONC HITCOMP, along with input from the former TIGER Education Committee, served as a base for the synthesized competency document. The synthesis/harmonization goal was to complete the basic intro healthcare provider competencies structure to serve as the framework for mapping all other competencies. Underneath this framework, materials will be aligned for an educator, student/adult learner, or faculty member to achieve that competency individually or for a group. Only basic competency needs were addressed in this competency synthesis. Medium and high level competencies will be forthcoming. Objectives and additional resource will be added to support the learner/educator in achieving each competency.

Coping with a Moving Target - a UK-based plan for the EU:US HI Competences These are my personal reflections, based on many years in HI, working as part of the EU:US team since the beginning of the /Roadmap work, and since 2002 being involved in the development of professional recognition of Health Informatics in the UK Jean Roberts

EXCITING EMERGING SCENARIO
Getty Image Professional societies and regulatory body coming together Focus on recognising a holistic Health Informatics community Health and social care convergence “We believe that England must move towards a single ring-fenced budget for health and social care, which is singly commissioned and within which entitlements are much more closely aligned” (King’s Fund, Commission on the Future of Health and Social Care in England (2014) Our emerging move towards a federated situation will address --- Reducing the confusion of the definitions of professional societies and registration / regulatory bodies by joint working A holistic community description, inclusive of HI specialists and those with embedded HI competences alongside their ‘home’ profession requirements, will allow us to use consistent HI competence terms across the board The EU:US work has presented us with a flexible concept that will encompass Clinical Informatics, genomic informatics, and anything upcoming due to new specialisms and technologies ... And across operational, research, academic and commercial ... so all ‘walk the talk’ We aim to promote recognition that informatics is integral to the delivery of better, safer care (and care management) ….. however it is delivered (and the quotation here gives indications of what may happen

Challenges and Benefits
Collective professional objectives, tools and role descriptors Clarity of HI brand image and personal expectation Clear routes to HI Workforce development and mobility IMPROVED IDENTITY for professionals and the profession Potential for global MOBILITY of a recognised workforce WIDE RECOGNITION of HI as care sector support CLEAR CAREER DEVELOPMENT PATHWAYS - producing greater understanding of needs, issues and solutions COMMON LANGUAGE between operational care delivery organisations, academia and commercial solution and service providers ENHANCED DOMAIN SENSITIVITY Uses of EU:US competence standards as a common skills basis will help to resolve the challenges and open up the opportunities shown here - Definition of the necessary competencies for the whole domain, which can be applied – To confirm ‘fitness to practice’, To describe clear career pathways To inform curricular and vocational development offerings (we intend to utilise our experience gained operationally through the UKCHIP EQAS course accreditation). The Competences and the HITComp toll will contribute to - formalising the needs stemming from the use of existing, new, emergent technology encouraging utilisation of appropriate methods for informatics problems enhancing provision of leadership in delivery of efficient informatics services stimulation of effective inter-personal skills and efficient dialogue across the disciplines involved And ... --- help to give a higher profile to the principles of personal commitment to professionalism

Aspiring to be the ‘WORLD PARTS CENTRE’ for HI competences
Consistency will facilitate effective dialogue, trans-national movement and collaboration – the EU:US competence work is not prescriptive, it is flexible and selective aggregation will contribute to HI professionalism globally and across all the disciplines within the health and care sector. This meeting is, sadly, recognising the end of phase 1 of this initiative – much more work will be necessary to stimulate a more global approach to raising HI standards. I do hope that ways can be identified to facilitate us moving forward – we now have the basis for refined HI competence descriptions and aggregation – and I look forward to projects that will put the tools created to date, to further good use! Thank you

THINKER council based on Washington State’s DOL funded HIIEC model. 2. Continuing professional development + new worker pipeline development 3. Partner with HIMSS Oregon, MHCC and local Hospital Networks: Legacy, Kaiser, Providence to convene stakeholder roundtables and conduct workforce needs assessments. Methodology: Map workforce needs assessment results to HIT related credentials and curriculum that support professional development and organizational workforce development goals.

EU-US Workforce Development Initiative
* Collaborate with S&I EU-US W/F Initiative to expand effort to include additional workforce roles, mapping to HIT curriculum and credentials. Tasks for Scott: A. HIT Credential gathering to workforce roles ✓ B. Curriculum resource identification and acquisition ✓ C. Informal curriculum resource gathering ✓ Additional work to be completed: A. Map HIT Curriculum and Credentials to S&I HITComp Tool B. Develop Workforce Needs Assessment aligned with and based on national benchmark surveys. HIMSS Workforce Survey, 2014, CHIME Workforce Survey, 2012, Texas HIT Workforce Study, 2012, Washington State WHIIEC, 2013

Health IT Professional Credentials
100+ HIT Professional related credentials identified 31 HIT related curriculum resources identified Informal Education & Training Resources 24 Categories identified

Incumbent + Entry Level Effort
Our experience in Oregon leads us to believe a two pronged approach to workforce development is necessary to: A. Elevate the skill sets of the current workforce of “incumbent” workers. B. Venturi Effect: Promoting incumbent workers to new, advanced skill set roles and responsibilities creates entry level job opportunities for new graduates. C. Increased demand for technology skills: New models of Healthcare require advanced information and data analytics to achieve Triple Aim goals of improved health and contained costs, required by Health Reform. By educating the workforce about how to leverage HIT and analytics to deliver information that supports new models of healthcare that are increasingly dependant on Health Quality Metrics and Meaningful Use of Health IT.

Next Steps: The Final Mile
S&I EU-US Workforce Original MOU Final Milestone (work remains to be completed) Explore new models of education/employer collaboration to facilitate continued development of programs to meet employment needs in the US and EU and ensure that all healthcare staff maintain competence levels through recognized program of certified continuous professional development. Proposed Solution: Work with stakeholders to identify HIT Training Needs and resources via HIT Comp Tool. Oregon’s Methodology has been proposed within Mt. Hood CC’s ONC grant application for HIT Workforce Development, May 6, 2015.

Next Steps: T.H.I.N.K.E.R. Council
Develop and Pilot HIT WF Needs Assessment with local partners via DOL HIT Industry & Education Council Format modeled on Washington State’s WHIIEC. Oregon Model: Think Global, Act Local. T.H.I.N.K.E.R. Councils (Total Health Interoperability Needs Knowledge and Education Resources) Stakeholders will be based within the geographic regions of Oregon’s CCOs Process: A. Develop Workforce Needs Assessment from National Benchmark Studies, HIMSS, TX, etc. B. Map HIT Curriculum and Credentials to S&I Framework HITComp Tool. C. Pilot T.H.I.N.K.E.R. Council with local partners based on DOL WHIIEC model. D. Outcome: Tool that maps the Needs Assessment results of HIT Roles and Competencies to Curriculum and Credentials generating individualized professional development and organizational workforce development plans.
