FOREWORD
Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) is a multi-stakeholder coordinating body designed to provide the process within which affected parties can identify, select, and harmonize standards for communicating healthcare information throughout the healthcare spectrum. HITSP functions as a partnership of the public and private sectors and operates with a neutral and inclusive governance model administered by the American National Standards Institute. The goal of the Panel is to:
• Facilitate the development of harmonized interoperability specifications and information policies, including SDO work products (e.g. standards, technical reports). These policies, profiles and work products are essential for establishing privacy, security and interoperability among healthcare software applications.
• Coordinate, as appropriate, with other national, regional and international groups addressing healthcare informatics to ensure that the resulting standards are globally relevant.
• Be use-case driven, utilize information from stakeholders and base its decisions on industry needs.
The HITSP shall serve the public good by working to ensure that the combined work of various healthcare information standards organizations supports interoperability, accurate use, access, privacy and security of shared health information.
In order to advance the goal of expanding harmonized interoperability specifications and information policies, HITSP was tasked with developing interoperability specifications for three main use case “breakthroughs areas” in which specific, near term value to the health care consumer could be realized |
