Data Standards, Data Quality, and Interoperability (2013
update)
Remove from myBoK
Editor's note: This update replaces the 2007 practice brief "Data Standards, Data Quality, and Interoperability."
Data quality and consistency are critical to ensuring patient safety, communicating delivery of health services, coordinating
care, and healthcare reporting. Assessing the quality and consistency of data requires data standards. This practice brief
provides health information management (HIM) professionals with a clear understanding of data standards as a tool to
enable interoperability and promote data quality.
The online version of this practice brief [...] is accompanied by an appendix that provides HIM professionals with a list of
standards to reference in data dictionary development, electronic health records, the exchange of health information, and
general data management processes to ensure information integrity and reliability. Evaluation of data validity, reliability,
completeness, and timeliness are accomplished through a combination of human and machine processes in healthcare, and
the list of data standard sources is a helpful reference guide when more detailed information is required.
Data Standards and Regulatory Framework
Data standards are "documented agreements on representations, formats, and definitions of common data. Data standards
provide a method to codify invalid, meaningful, comprehensive, and actionable ways, information captured in the course of
doing business." Rules to describe how the data is recorded to ensure consistency across multiple sources is another way to
think of data standards. Without data standards and data quality, the future of interoperability is bleak. Data fields and the
content of those fields need to be standardized.
Standards development organizations (SDOs) address a variety of aspects of health information and informatics. For
example, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Health Level Seven (HL7) target clinical data
standards. Insurance and remittance standards are a focus of the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12. Standards to
transmit diagnostic images are developed through Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM). The
National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) represents pharmacy messages.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), HL7, ASTM, and others develop data models and
frameworks. See the table on page 65 for a breakdown of regulatory agencies responsible for working with the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) to drive data standards to achieve interoperability.
The AHIMA Leadership Model states that HIM professionals should serve as the leaders in healthcare organizations and in
their professional community for ensuring that data content standards are identified, understood, implemented, a ...
A presentation about the role of informatics standards in facilitating electronic data interchange, and a framework for service-oriented semantic interoperability among data systems.
According to HIMSS Board, semantic interoperability is the ability of two or more systems exchange information and use the information that has been exchanged. Semantic interoperability allows caregivers to electronically exchange the patient summary and use that information adequately to improve quality, safety, and efficiency. The Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology released “Connecting Health and Care for the Nation: A Shared Nationwide Interoperability Roadmap Draft Version 1.0” that proposes critical actions that the public and private sector need to take to move toward an interoperable health information technology ecosystem over the next 10 years. Health information technologies are creating a lot of opportunities to improve health outcomes including patient quality and safety while lowering the associated costs to health care. True interoperability and the exchange of health information can support benefits for payers, patients and providers. This can be achieved through well defined standards and semantic interoperability. If the systems that will be exchanging the information are not using available standards, semantic interoperability is more difficult to reach.

Implementing precise data management systems ensures the secure and effective movement of sensitive healthcare data. However, medical practitioners neglected their critical role in medical data processing. As a result, implementing high-quality electronic health record (EHR) software in health care is critical for reducing medical mistakes. As a result, the purpose of this study is to highlight the roles of EHR in promoting quality healthcare service provision.

Application: Sexual Behavior
Gender and sexuality are intertwined in many cultures. (Gardiner & Kosmitzki, 2011) Socialization agents teach the appropriate behaviors for gender and the acceptable sexual attitudes and behaviors within a culture. Cultural differences exist around the world and across countries. For example, cultural differences may exist through the number of partners allowed in a marriage, expectations for males and females, and knowledge and application of safe sex practices. Differences may also arise in what is permitted and acceptable, such as premarital sex, same-sex relationships, and extramarital relationships. The consequences for an individual deviating from these cultural expectations also vary from culture to culture.
For this Assignment,choose one sexual attitude (e.g., abstinence, monogamy, etc.) and one sexual behavior (e.g., chastity, infidelity, etc.).
The Assignment (4–5 pages)
· Use your Final Project culture of interest and select another culture of interest to you.
· Compare the similarities and differences of sexual attitudes and behaviors in each culture.
· Describe the cultural factors that influence sexual attitudes and behaviors.
· Explain how sexual attitudes and behaviors are perceived and displayed within each culture.
· Be specific and provide examples.
· Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

According to Davoudi et al., (2015) healthcare leaders experience challenges such as payment reform, exchange of health information, among others. Ideally, the nexus in the challenges is to ensure that data remains a trusted source that can be exchanged, shared, and accessed with ease. The American Health Information Management Association offers the basis of information and data governance through some fundamental principles. This principle includes accountability, transparency, integrity, protection, compliance, availability, retention, and disposition. The principles are critical for the data quality management model. Data quality management refers to the business process that guarantees the integrity of organisation information during the analysis, warehousing, application, and collection processes. The healthcare industry has some task to ensure a robust objective of the healthcare standards.
Significant limitation of the models
Data should apply security controls to offer data protection to guarantee data quality management in the American Health Information Management Association. Ideally, data needs to be protected in backup environments and stora.

Standards for Electronic Data and Electronic Data Interchange
The original uniform data sets such as the UHDDS and the UACDS were created for use in paper-based (manual) health record systems. They were not designed to accommodate the data needs of the current healthcare delivery system or the demands of EHRs and clinical information systems.
Standards are needed in order for data to be easily, accurately, and securely communicated and exchanged electronically among various computer systems. This is referred to as interoperability. Without standards for interoperability, EHRs and the NHIN will not realize their full benefits (Thompson and Brailer 2004).
Many types of standards are being developed to support the EHR and health information exchange. Some involve defining record structure and content, others specify technical approaches for transmitting data, and still others provide rules for protecting the privacy and security of data.
Public and private organizations have been actively engaged in the process of developing healthcare informatics standards to support EHR development, interoperability, and information exchange. The federal government supports this work in a variety of ways. One example is the S&I Framework. According to Fridsma (2010 slide 4), the Framework “is the mechanism by which ONC will manage the implementation of specifications and the harmonization of existing health IT standards to promote interoperability nationwide.”
Definition of Data Standard for Electronic Data Exchange
Data standards provide the ability to record a certain data item in accordance with the agreed upon standard (Giannangelo 2007). Data content standards are “clear guidelines for the acceptable values for specified data fields” (Fenton et al. 2007). Data exchange standards are protocols that help ensure that data transmitted from one system to another remain comparable.
One of the purposes of HIPAA’s Administrative Simplification rules was to standardize information exchange and in August 2000, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published regulations for electronic trans.
Electronic health record (EHR) is a computerized patient-centric history of an individual’s health
care record that includes data from the multiple sources of care that the patient has used.
Healthcare software development has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, and one key area that has gained attention is healthcare information exchange (HIE). The exchange of patient data and health information between different healthcare systems and providers plays a crucial role in improving care coordination, patient outcomes, and overall healthcare delivery. In this blog, we will explore the benefits and challenges of healthcare information exchange in the context of healthcare software development.
This presentation talks about the context of developing the Electronic Health records for India. the guidelines as mentioned in the GOI site is described vividly with examples, for better understanding.

CHAPTER 4
Assessing Health and Health Behaviors
Objectives
this chapter will enable the reader to:
1. Describe the expected outcomes of a nursing health assessment.
2. Identify the components of a nursing health assessment conducted for an individual client.
3. Examine life span, language, and culturally appropriate nursing health assessment tools for children, adults, and older adults.
4. Compare the similarities and differences among the various approaches to assessing the family, mindful of cultural influences.
5. Evaluate the criteria for conducting a screening in the community.
6. Compare the similarities and differences among the various approaches to assessing
the community.
Athorough assessment of health and health behaviors is the foundation for tailoring a health promotion-prevention plan. Assessment provides the database for making clinical judgments about the client’s health strengths, health problems, nursing diagnoses, desired health or behavioral outcomes, as well as the interventions likely to be effective. This information also forms the nature of the client–nurse partnership such as the frequency of con- tact and the need for coordination with other health professionals. The portfolio of assessment measures depends on the characteristics of the client, including developmental stage and cul- tural orientation. The nurse assesses age, language, and cultural appropriateness of the various measures selected.
Cultural competence is the ability to communicate effectively with people of different cultures. Providing culturally competent care is the cornerstone of the nursing assessment. The nurse’s aware- ness of her own attitude toward cultural differences and her cultural worldview and characteristics

are critical to her understanding and knowledge of various cultures. Recognizing that diversity exists in all cultures based on educational level, socioeconomic status, religion, rural/urban residence, and individual and family characteristics will ensure a more successful encounter (The Office of Minority Health, 2013). An online cultural educational program, designed specifically for nurses and featur- ing videotaped case studies and interactive tools, is available.
The Enhanced National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services, based on a definition of culture expanded to include geography, spirituality, language, race and ethnicity, and biology, provides a practical guide to culturally and linguistically sensitive care (The Office of Minority Health, 2013).
Technology is having a significant impact on health care. The Electronic Health Record (EHR) promotes involvement of the client in developing a dynamic, tailored database. The EHR offers great promise to improve health and increase the client’s satisfaction with his care. Data aggregation, cross-continuum coordination, and clinical care plan management are critical com- ponents of the.

Abstract This chapter illustrates how a well-established public health informatics
framework provides an integrated information system infrastructure that assures and
enhances the efficacy of public health emergency preparedness (PHEP) actions
throughout the phases of the health emergency event life cycle. Key PHEP activities
involved in supporting this cycle include planning; surveillance; alerting; resource
assessment and management; data-driven decision support; and intervention for
prevention and control of disease or injury in populations. Information systems
supporting these activities are most effective in assuring optimal response to an
emergent health event when they are integrated within an informatics framework
that supports routine (day to day) information exchange within the health infor-
mation exchange community. In late April 2009, New York State (NYS) initiated a
statewide PHEP response to the emergence of Novel Influenza A (H1N1), culmi-
nating in a statewide vaccination campaign during the last quarter of 2009. The

Risk Assessment Plan: Purpose does not make reference to BRI at all. Provide context. Scope, assumptions and constraints appear reasonable, but you can add an assumption or constraint regarding budget.
Need to elaborate on how risk is determine using the qualitative approach.
1. Title
IT Security Risk Assessment
2. Introduction
You are employed with Government Security Consultants, a subsidiary of Largo Corporation. As a member of IT security consultant team, one of your responsibilities is to ensure the security of assets as well as provide a secure environment for customers, partners and employees. You and the team play a key role in defining, implementing and maintaining the IT security strategy in organizations.
A government agency called the Bureau of Research and Intelligence (BRI) is tasked with gathering and analyzing information to support U.S. diplomats.
In a series of New York Times articles, BRI was exposed as being the victim of several security breaches. As a follow up, the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducted a comprehensive review of the agency’s information security controls and identified numerous issues.
The head of the agency has contracted your company to conduct an IT security risk assessment on its operations. This risk assessment was determined to be necessary to address security gaps in the agency’s critical operational areas and to determine actions to close those gaps. It is also meant to ensure that the agency invests time and money in the right areas and does not waste resources. After conducting the assessment, you are to develop a final report that summarizes the findings and provides a set of recommendations. You are to convince the agency to implement your recommendations.
This learning activity focuses on IT security which is an overarching concern that involves practically all facets of an organization’s activities. You will learn about the key steps of preparing for and conducting a security risk assessment and how to present the findings to leaders and convince them into taking appropriate action.
Understanding security capabilities is basic to the core knowledge, skills, and abilities that IT personnel are expected to possess. Information security is a significant concern among every organization and it may spell success or failure of its mission. Effective IT professionals are expected to be up-to-date on trends in IT security, current threats and vulnerabilities, state-of-the-art security safeguards, and security policies and procedures. IT professionals must be able to communicate effectively (oral and written) to executive level management in a non-jargon, executive .

1. Prof. Lennart Van der Zeil’s theorem says that any programmin.docxblondellchancy
1. Prof. Lennart Van der Zeil’s theorem says that any programming language is
complete
if it can be used to write a program to compute any computable number.
a. What is a computable number?
b. What is a non-computable number?
c. If all existing programming languages are complete why do we need more than one?
2. Two methodologies are used to transform programs written in a
source language
(also known as a
programmer-oriented language
, or a horizontal language, or a high-level language) into a
target language
(also known as a machine language, or a vertical language, or a low-level language). There is a static method called
translation
and a dynamic method called
interpretation
. Yet FORTRAN while 98% static ., uses interpretation for the Formatted I/O statement, similarly COBOL uses interpretation for the MOVE and MOVE CORRESPONDING statements; on the other hand, Java is fully interpretative except that in some programs and certain data sets it may invoke a JIT (Just In Time) compiler to execute a bit of static code
. Why do language designers mix these modalities if either is complete?
Hint: This is a long question with a short answer.
3. C and C++ store numerical arrays (matrices) in
row major
order and each index range must begin with 0; whereas FORTRAN stores arrays in
column major
order and the (default) index range starts (almost always) with 1. Engineers and scientists are often faced with the problem of converting a working program, or much more often a subroutine, from one language to another. Unfortunately, due to the index range difference (0 to n-1) in C/C++ and (1 to N) in FORTRAN, viewing one array as simply the transpose of the other will not suffice. What steps would you take to convert such a subroutine to compute the product of two matrices A(N,M) and B(M,N) to produce C(N,N) from FORTRAN to C++?
4. What was the major reason Jim Gosling invented Java? Did he succeed?
5. What are the four major features of C++ that were eliminated in Java? Why were they taken out? Why do we not miss them?
6. What was Kim Polese’ role at SUN Microsystems and why did she think Java should be positioned as a general purpose computer programming language? How did she accomplish this truly incredible feat, not done since Captain (later Admiral) Grace Murray Hopper, USN standardized COBOL in the early 1960s.
7. Describe briefly the role of women in the development of computer programming and computer programming languages. (Ada Lovelace, Betty Holberton, Grace Hopper, Mandaly Grems, Kim Polese, Laura Lemay)
8. What are the pros and cons of overloaded operators in C++? Java has only one, what is it?
9. State your own arguments for allowing mixed mode arithmetic statements. (See Ch 7)
10. What is BNF and why are meta-languages like BNF and EBNF used?

1. Review the results of your assessment using the explanation below.
2. Write at least 200 words describing the results, how you learn best, and how you will modify your study techniques to fit your learning style.
What do the results mean? Barbara Soloman, Coordinator of Advising, First Year College, North Carolina State University explains:
· Active Learners: tend to retain and understand information best by doing something active with it like discussing or explaining it to others. They enjoy group work.
· Reflective Learners: prefer to think about it quietly first. They prefer to work alone.
· Sensing Learners: tend to like learning facts. They are patient with details and good at memorizing things. They are practical and careful.
· Intuitive Learners: prefer discovering possibilities and relationships. They are good at grasping new concepts and are comfortable with abstractions and mathematical formulations. They are innovative and creative.
· Visual Learners: remember best what they see--pictures, diagrams, flowcharts, timelines, films, and demonstrations.
· Verbal Learners: get more out of words--written and spoken explanations. Everyone learns more when information is presented both visually and verbally.
· Sequential Learners: tend to gain understanding in linear steps, with each step following logically from the previous one. They follow logical steps when finding solutions.
· Global Learners: Global learners tend to learn in large jumps, absorbing material almost randomly without seeing connections, and then suddenly "getting it." They may be able to solve complex problems quickly or put things together in novel ways once they have grasped the big picture, but they may have difficulty explaining how they did it.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Data Standards, Data Quality, and Interoperability (2013
update)
Remove from myBoK
Editor's note: This update replaces the 2007 practice brief "Data
Standards, Data Quality, and Interoperability."
Data quality and consistency are critical to ensuring patient safe
ty, communicating delivery of health services, coordinating
care, and healthcare reporting. Assessing the quality and consist
ency of data requires data standards. This practice brief
provides health information management (HIM) professionals w
ith a clear understanding of data standards as a tool to
enable interoperability and promote data quality.
The online version of this practice brief [...] is accompanied by
an appendix that provides HIM professionals with a list of
standards to reference in data dictionary development, electroni
c health records, the exchange of health information, and
general data management processes to ensure information integr
ity and reliability. Evaluation of data validity, reliability,
completeness, and timeliness are accomplished through a combi
nation of human and machine processes in healthcare, and
the list of data standard sources is a helpful reference guide whe
n more detailed information is required.
Data Standards and Regulatory Framework
2. Data standards are "documented agreements on representations,
formats, and definitions of common data. Data standards
provide a method to codify invalid, meaningful, comprehensive,
and actionable ways, information captured in the course of
doing business."
Rules to describe how the data is recorded to ensure consistenc
y across multiple sources is another way to
think of data standards. Without data standards and data quality,
the future of interoperability is bleak. Data fields and the
content of those fields need to be standardized.
Standards development organizations (SDOs) address a variety
of aspects of health information and informatics. For
example, the American Society for Testing and Materials (AST
M) and Health Level Seven (HL7) target clinical data
standards. Insurance and remittance standards are a focus of the
Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12. Standards to
transmit diagnostic images are developed through Digital Imagi
ng and Communications in Medicine (DICOM). The
National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) repr
esents pharmacy messages.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), H
L7, ASTM, and others develop data models and
frameworks. See the table on page 65 for a breakdown of regula
tory agencies responsible for working with the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) to drive data standards to a
chieve interoperability.
The AHIMA Leadership Model states that HIM professionals sh
ould serve as the leaders in healthcare organizations and in
their professional community for ensuring that data content stan
dards are identified, understood, implemented, and managed.
As leaders, HIM professionals will need to collaborate with inte
rnal and external partners to meet interoperability and
3. health information exchange agreements, influence the develop
ment of standards to meet organizational needs, and
participate in the development of standards to address local and
national industry needs.
Leadership actions for HIM professionals include but are not li
mited to:

Interoperability Ensures EHR Compatibility
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) def
ines interoperability as ensuring that health-related
4. information flows seamlessly. Information needs to follow the p
atient regardless of geographic, organizational, or vendor
boundaries. Interoperability refers to the architecture or standar
ds that make it possible for diverse EHR systems to work
compatibly. The importance of interoperability goes far beyond
the confines of the EHR. Information must flow into and out
of health information exchanges—
available to the patient at the right time, at the right place, and
containing data that is
accurate and complete.
ONC provides "building blocks" to bring awareness to maintaini
ng and sustaining standard interoperability. These current
initiatives are working to standardize:
Meaning through the use of standardized healthcare vocabularie
s
Structure by leveraging standards in HL7
Transport using secure e-mail protocols
Security through National Institute of Standards and Technolog
y (NIST)-adopted encryption standards
Services through open and accessible application programming i
nterfaces (APIs)
There are many SDOs who are involved in the development and
publishing of healthcare informatics standards at national
and international levels. These standards are crucial to the captu
ring and sharing of clinical information in our electronic
health information systems.
Regulatory Agencies in Standard Development
Multiple regulatory agencies are currently responsible for worki
ng with the ANSI standard development
organization to drive data standards that help achieve interopera
bility, including those listed in the table below.
5. Regulatory Agency Data, Mapping, and Messaging Standards
The Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS)
provides a list of data resources
including standard terms and
abbreviations that promotes
naming and semantic consistency.
The "meaningful use" EHR Incentive Program was developed
to allow care providers to implement EHR technology in three
stages. Stage 1 focuses on data capture and sharing of data,
stage 2 focuses on clinical processes such as information
exchange and patient-controlled data, and stage 3 aims to focus
on improving patient outcomes. The incremental phases allow
care providers to adopt standards into their daily workflow.
The Office of the National
Coordinator for Health
Information Technology (ONC)
promotes flexible implementation
standards that are able to change
incrementally, emphasizing
usability and workflow design to
facilitate data exchange.
Meaningful use stage 2 EHR certification criteria delineates
data standards.
The Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ)
promotes the development of IT
systems which identify specific
criteria.
6. The National Strategy for Quality Improvement in Health Care
(National Quality Strategy) is a nationwide effort to align
public and private interests to improve the quality of health and
healthcare for all Americans. Part of the Affordable Care Act,
the National Quality Strategy is guided by three aims that
6/29/2016 library.ahima.org/PB/DataStandards#appxA
http://library.ahima.org/PB/DataStandards#appxA 3/20
provide better, more affordable care for an individual and the
community.
The National Quality Strategy (NQS) promotes "national
standards while supporting local, community, and state-level
activities that respond to local circumstances."2 The NQS also
works to align quality efforts among commercial and
government activities, and across federal agencies.
Standards Development
In order to drive interoperability, the adoption of messaging sta
ndards is primarily driven by regulation. There are also
stakeholder groups hard at work on harmonization efforts to ma
nage information in standardized processes to enable data
sharing. A consensus process gathers interested individuals fro
m industry and consumer groups, specialty domains,
agencies, professional organizations, and vendors to develop a c
oncept and express it in a recommended course of action or
standard. Then, a document is drafted to further refine the conce
pt and work through details by an interactive voting process
to assure that the completed standard has been accorded fair rev
iew prior to publishing.
7. ASTM publishes standard test methods, specifications practices,
guides, terminologies, and classifications. ASTM E1384
and E31.25 (2013) Standard Practice for Content and Structure
of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) describes a logical
data organization and content (common data model) of an EHR.
The model is used by an organization according to the
major informational structures and content of the EHR. A patien
t's health record plays five unique roles:
1. It represents the patient's health history.
2. It provides a method for clinical communication and care pla
nning among the individual healthcare practitioners
serving the patient.
3. It serves as the legal document describing the healthcare serv
ices provided.
4. It is a source of data for clinical, health services, and outcom
es research.
5. It serves as a major resource for healthcare practitioner educa
tion.
HL7 is one organization that is developing international standar
ds for interoperability and messaging including the
Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) and EH
R functional model. HL7 develops international standards,
which sometimes must be modified to meet the "meaningful use
" EHR Incentive Program or reimbursement systems criteria
unique to the United States. HL7 collaborates with the Internati
onal Organization for Standardization (ISO) for international
balloting.
ISO, the world's largest developer of voluntary standards, has m
any technical committees (TCs) that span a variety of
products and services. ISO/TC 215 Health Informatics primarily
develops voluntary standards in the field of information for
health and health information and communication technology to
8. promote interoperability. ISO/TC 215 includes standards for
areas such as healthcare delivery, disease prevention and wellne
ss promotion, public health and surveillance, and clinical
research related to health services.
Health informatics standards will play significant roles as electr
onic data management increases. It is important that HIM
professionals learn about informatics in order to serve as a prof
essional resource to healthcare organizations. HIM
professionals can participate in the standards development proce
ss by evaluating proposed standards and recommending
new ones. There has never been a greater need for input from th
e HIM perspective in the domain of data standards.
Areas for standardization in healthcare include health informati
on exchanges (HIE), clinical data harmonization, and
documentation.
Data Standards for Health Information Exchange
Health information exchange organizations are an important par
t of improving efficiency and reducing cost for healthcare
delivery, and global standards will make a difference in the way
healthcare professionals capture and use health information
worldwide.

6/29/2016 library.ahima.org/PB/DataStandards#appxA
http://library.ahima.org/PB/DataStandards#appxA 4/20
To foster adoption of standardized language to meet the mandat
es of the meaningful use program, HL7 is offering free
9. access to their standards. HL7's C-CDA is a library of templates
that help facilitate exchange. While multiple record types
fall under the C-CDA, they all provide a common format to assi
st in health information exchange. This library contains the
following nine templates:
Continuity of Care Document (CCD)
Consultation Note
Diagnostic Imaging Report (DIR)
Discharge Summary
History and Physical (H&P)
Operative Note
Procedure Note
Progress Note
Unstructured Document
Each template has defined sections to harmonize the data across
systems. This standard ensures the information integrity
and reliability when sharing data across HIEs or between other
health IT systems.
The Role of Metadata in Standardization
Metadata is identified as a method to manage health information
by indexing and applying attributes to a patient's record at
the "granular" or data-element level. An emerging use of metada
ta is the processing of large amounts of data for data
analytics. Being able to distill large amounts of data for specific
data points will allow the metadata to be used to develop
and improve quality care. Metadata will be critical for leveragin
g the volumes, velocity, and variety of healthcare data now
available due to the increasing use of clinical information syste
ms such as EHRs.
Though metadata will be critical for maintaining and preserving
the healthcare record, there are currently no standards for
10. the metadata schema. The proposed HL7 EHR-S RM-ES Functio
nal profile will require the capture and retention of
authors, data creation time stamps, modification, view, and dele
tion. HL7 standards are also not mandated at this time, but
using the conformance criteria will benefit health information m
anagement professionals who are involved with the RFP
process or are assessing an EHR system.
The schema varies by organization and within jurisdictions acco
rding to business needs. HIM professionals need to direct
their organizations to consider specific business needs and the r
egulatory environment when making decisions about the
maintenance and management of metadata. Understanding and
managing metadata is not the sole responsibility of
information technology (IT) professionals. HIM professionals s
hould collaborate with IT to develop processes and
procedures to ensure that metadata is managed effectively withi
n their organizations.
Metadata captures information such as the date and time that an
entry was made in the health record, who accessed the
record and when, what changes have been made to the record an
d by whom, and the identity of staff who document sections
of the record when this information is not collected by an authe
ntication or signature, such as portions of a template that are
completed by nursing or other allied healthcare staff. Metadata i
s an important tool that can be used to follow up on
documentation or compliance issues, facilitate response to reque
sts for an accounting of accesses of the medical record, or
to meet internal or external reporting or analytics requirements.
Clinical Data Standards Harmonization
Semantic interoperability is the ability of computer systems to i
nterchange data and to interpret and use the data according
to its meaning, rather than just its surface form. Problems arise
11. when one term has multiple meanings or when two or more
terms refer to the same concept but are not easily recognized as
synonyms. Many multi-stakeholder workgroups are in
existence today to address semantic interoperability. Examples i
nclude HL7, ISO, and the International Health Terminology
Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO)—
the organization that maintains SNOMED CT.
Harmonizing disparate information systems requires data transla
tion and mapping, as well as document and messaging
standards with a regulatory framework that promotes their use.
HIM professionals understand where data is created and
distributed; this knowledge can be utilized to ensure harmonizat
ion between systems. There are multiple data models as
they relate to health information exchange such as centralized, d
ecentralized, and federated models. The type of model
6/29/2016 library.ahima.org/PB/DataStandards#appxA
http://library.ahima.org/PB/DataStandards#appxA 5/20
selected will determine how and where information will be colle
cted and stored.
A centralized model collects data from local sources and stores
the data in a central repository. A decentralized data model,
also called a federated model, gives an organization control of t
he healthcare record, providing a quick and easy way to
distribute data-sharing across regions. The hybrid model is a co
mbination of the previous two models.
Along with developing standards for meaningful use interoperab
ility, it is important to exchange information with standalone
registry systems. When developing these standards, these syste
12. ms should be considered in the forefront to eliminate manual
data collection into disparate systems. Without standards there
will be unstable and inconsistent data collection resulting in
the inability to compare and improve outcomes.
When developing standards one also needs to consider the abilit
y to connect clinical outcomes with billing data to help
determine the value of healthcare provided. The value of health
care is the quality over the cost. Every system has its own
way of representing data. For example, relational databases hav
e their own schema for defining tables and fields.
Ontologies are one method of managing data and providing a me
chanism for disparate systems to communicate. Although
this is not a new term, it will be one that HIM professionals will
hear in discussions related to interoperability and data
standards. An ontology viewed with a data standards lens is a m
odel of knowledge that serves as a semantic translator that
is able to reconcile metadata standards, XML dialects, and datab
ase access methods.
Data Standards and Documentation of Health Services
Employing data standards in health services documentation furt
her entails consistent, accurate, and reproducible capture of
clinical concepts using standardized terminology to describe dis
eases and procedures. This supports an environment
conducive to the assessment of patient management, outcomes
measures for quality and performance improvement, and
clinical research. Current initiatives to measure quality and perf
ormance through data include the Joint Commission Core
Measures, CMS' Present on Admission Indicator Reporting, CM
S' Clinical Quality Measures, and the National Committee
for Quality Assurance Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Inform
ation Set (HEDIS).
Documentation describes the methods and activities of collectin
13. g, coding, ordering, storing, and retrieving information to
fulfill future tasks.
Whether the information is collected, stored, and read on paper
or discrete data elements are recorded,
electronically stored, and then displayed as traditional documen
ts on a computer monitor, data content requirements remain
the same. The appropriate recording of data for patient records i
s required for continuous treatment of patients. The quality
and safety of medical decision making during the course of prov
iding a health service relies on the timeliness and accuracy
of the information available.
Observations, assessments, and plans made during the care of in
dividual patients are all important elements of
documentation.
There are a variety of messaging and data content standards rel
ated to clinical documentation capture,
storage, retrieval, and use. Data structure and content standards
create the framework for an optimal health record and
effective information exchange between healthcare providers. A
data content standard often leverages a terminology
standard to simplify and unify the data presentation.
With increasing focus on adoption of certified EHRs, along with
financial incentives to demonstrate meaningful use and
improve healthcare quality, there is increased urgency to develo
p definitions and standards. Specified terminology standards
definitions and classifications of individual terms, coupled with
content standards for uniform capture and collection, are
essential framing structures to describe clinical concepts—
such as the use of SNOMED CT for problem list identification.
Effectively sending data back and forth between organizations i
s accomplished with messaging standards.
Commonly used guidelines for standards in EHR systems includ
e:
14. Continuity of Care Record/Document
National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP)
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)
SNOMED CT
Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC)
ICD-9-CM

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)
The National Library of Medicine's Unified Medical Language S
ystem links more than 100 terminologies available for a
variety of use cases in healthcare.
Describing clinical concepts in a standardized format allows for
meaningful performance monitoring and outcomes
measurement. In addition it supports consistent, evidence-based
care through clinical decision support. The National Quality
Forum's Quality Data Model (QDM) provides the potential for
more precisely defined, universally adopted electronic
quality measures to automate measurement and compare and im
prove quality using electronic health information.
15. Recommendations for Promoting Standards
Priorities and emphasis on health informatics standards will set
expectations for the healthcare industry. HIM professionals
are in a position to advocate the application of standards and ed
ucate their colleagues. Standards contribute to the
longitudinal view of health information within and among syste
ms by calling for unified expectations about how data is
defined, stored, and transferred to meet the users' needs. The ab
ility to use this information to drive decisions through
business intelligence is an emerging role for HIM professionals.
HIM professionals can increase their knowledge and serve
as a professional resource for their organization by:
Building knowledge in health informatics standards. Remain we
ll informed on standards that impact patient data
and health information business processes. At a minimum, under
stand the relationship and major topic areas. Refer to
Appendix A for a variety of standards development organization
s and their websites. Refer to Appendix B for
additional reading materials.
Investigate current data systems. Verify HIM business processes
that connect to these functions. Determine
whether data definition or format changes need to be planned in
preparation for regulatory implementation. See that
related HIM processes are updated as necessary.
Access information on existing healthcare standards. Review cu
rrent standards and how they generally fit into the
health information systems environment in healthcare organizati
ons.
Determine if the current healthcare standards are used in your o
rganization. Note that although standards may
be adopted in your organization, the manner in which the standa
rds are used can be highly customized so those
vendors can accommodate product variability, among other reas
16. ons. Investigate how your organization uses message
standards.
Form or join a quality and data analytics team in your organizati
on. Become familiar with the types of
information being requested and where it fits into the standards
realm. Create a matrix to track what types of data are
transmitted, how it is transmitted, and what standards are used.
Keep pace with the healthcare industry's standards development.
Professionally endorse these efforts.
Join a standards development organization. HIM professionals'
contribution to this work is essential to ensure
comprehensive attention to health information business processe
s. Membership fees are often nominal and progress
can be tracked through the standards website, organization's Wi
ki page, or through personal participation in
development sessions.
Appendices
Appendix A: Data Standards Resource
Working independently, standards development organizations (S
DOs), associations, government agencies, and
nongovernmental organizations have developed an array of data
standards that address multiple areas in healthcare.
Different standards are required to implement electronic health
records (EHRs) and facilitate interoperability.
Standards are developed both nationally and internationally. Th
e American National Standards Institute (ANSI) coordinates
the development and use of standards within the United States a
nd represents the needs and views of US stakeholders in
standardization forums around the globe. ANSI facilitates the de
velopment of American National Standards by accrediting
the procedures of standards development organizations. ANSI a
ccreditation signifies that the procedures used by the SDO
17. meet ANSI's essential requirements for openness, balance, cons
ensus, and due process.

standard in one category is difficult because various standards c
an be classified in more than one way, so in some instances,
standards are repeated in multiple categories.
Structure and Content Standards
Standards establish definitions for data elements in an EHR syst
em. They specify the type of data to be collected in each
data field and the attributes and values of each field, all of whic
h are captured in data dictionaries.

· Part 1 due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday of the first of the
assigned modules/weeks.
· Part 2 due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of the second of the
assigned modules/weeks.
· Part 3 due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of the second of the
66. assigned modules/weeks.
· Note: For Module Week 8, Part 3 is due by Friday, 11:59pm
EST, since that is the last day of class. No work is accepted
after the course ends.
Part 1 (no word count)
As you read the chapters assigned to each module/week, you
will find some concepts more interesting and applicable to your
personal or work situation than others. Review the key terms
listed in the assigned chapters; then, submit a preliminary
thread indicating the key term that you wish to reserve for your
thread for that module/week.
Check the discussion board area prior to submitting your
reservation to ensure no one else has chosen that key term. In
the event the key term you wish to explore is already reserved
by someone else, simply move on to another key term in your
readings. Duplicate key terms will not earn credit under any
circumstance—this includes work submitted in a previous
course. Do not ask the instructor to accept a duplicate key term,
as this is not fair to those who followed these explicit
directions.
Include the exact key term you selected in your thread’s subject
line.
Submit Part 1 to the Discussion Board Forum by 11:59 p.m.
(ET) on Thursday of the first of the assigned modules/weeks.
Part 2 (800 words minimum)
After you have successfully reserved the key term that interests
you the most, research a minimum of 5 recent scholarly articles
that relate to the concept on which you wish to focus your
research. Articles must be found in reputable professional
and/or scholarly journals and/or informational venues that deal
with the content of the course (i.e., not blogs, Wikipedia,
67. newspapers, etc.). After reading the articles, select the 1 article
that you wish to discuss.
It is highly recommended that you use Liberty University’s
Jerry Falwell Library online resources. A librarian is available
to assist you in all matters pertaining to conducting your
research, including what constitutes a scholarly article. For
more details on what constitutes a scholarly journal (and what
does not), visit Jerry Falwell Library’s "Scholarly Journals –
What Are They?" page.
Your thread must be placed in the Discussion Board Forum
textbox (not as an attachment) and adhere precisely to the
following headings and format:
1. Key Termand Why You Are Interested in It (100 words
minimum)

interested in conducting further research on this key term (e.g.,
academic curiosity, application to a current issue related to
employment, or any other professional rationale). Include a
substantive reason, not simply a phrase.
2. Explanation of the Key Term(100 words minimum)
Provide a clear and concise overview of the essentials relevant
to understanding this key term.
3. Major Article Summary(300 words minimum)
Using your own words, provide a clear and concise summary of
the article, including the major points and conclusions.
4. Discussion
In your own words, discuss each of the following points:
a. How the cited work relates to your above explanation AND
how it relates specifically to the content of the assigned

you have extended your understanding of this key term beyond
the textbook readings. (150 words minimum)
b. How the cited work relates to the other 4 works you
researched. This part of your thread provides evidence that you
have refined your research key term to a coherent and
specialized aspect of the key term, rather than a random
selection of works on the key term. The idea here is to prove
that you have focused your research and that all works cited are
related in some manner to each other rather than simply a
collection of the first 5 results from your Internet search. (150
words minimum)

Performance Task: Write a Narrative
Now that you've read both points of view on nature—that of the
Transcendentalists, and that of Oates — which perspective do
you agree with?
· Create a narrative using one of the perspectives you read
about: supporting nature or going against it.
· Tell a story about an experience you had in nature that either
affected you positively or negatively.
· Compose a narrative of 500–1,000 words that discusses your
experience in nature.
· Be clear on the stance you are choosing, and what you have
learned from this experience.
· Has reading the poems and stories of the Transcendentalists
changed your perspective on nature for the better or worse?
Performance Task: Argument with Research
One of the goals of this unit is to conduct research. Now that
you have finished reading The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn, you will be conducting and writing your own research
paper of 1,000–1,500 words on one of the topics listed below.
In addition to specific quotes and evidence from the text, you
will use outside research to support your claims. You may use
articles and information found online, in books, or
magazines, but do not use Wikipedia. All research must be
properly cited in MLA format on a final "Works Cited" page
listing all sources used. (Refer to the MLA Formatting and Style
Guide for support.)
· Examine the novel's portrayal of racism. Is the novel racist or
is it merely holding a mirror to a racist society?
Essay could examine: Huck's relationship with Jim, Pap's views
of African Americans, Twain's portrayal of Jim, Use of the "n"
word. Is Twain taking a stance against, and shining a light on,
70. society, showing them the absurdity of their ways? Or, is this
providing the author's own perspective on the time? Choose one
side and defend.
· Is Huck a transcendentalist, reflecting the new philosophy of
the time? Use quotes from the book, as well as research on the
transcendental philosophy, to argue for or against this claim.
· The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was censored
immediately upon its release, and is still censored in many
schools today. Argue or support that this book deserves to be
censored, comparing it with modern censorship of books or
media. Research the reasons behind the book's censorship both
then and now, as well as other media that has been censored in
modern times, and the reasons for that censorship. Is it
justified, or does it infringe upon the First Amendment?
