We can certainly use some standards and hope the efforts are well received...with healthcare fragmented in so many areas, standards are really needed....especially with e-Prescribing...somebody has to step up to bat and get the ball rolling....read the entire post for more details from Dr. Halamka...BD
Tomorrow morning I present the latest round of standards harmonization to Secretary Leavitt and the American Health Information Community. Here's a preview.
Medication Management, HITSP Interoperability Specification IS07, defines specific standards to facilitate access to medication and allergy information for consumers, pharmacists, health insurance agencies, clinicians and other stakeholders.
Includes four new HITSP constructs
T40 Patient Generic Health Plan Eligibility Verification
T42 Medication Dispensing Status
TP43 Medication Orders
TP46 Medication Formulary and Benefits Information
HITSP worked with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS) to ensure IS07 is consistent with the ePrescribing federal initiative led by CMS including adherence to standards required for ePrescribing under Part D of the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA)
