About HL7 Ambassador Briefings
This 30-minute briefing is being delivered by an HL7-authorized speaker.
HL7 Ambassadors personally contribute to HL7 standards through participation in HL7 Technical Committees, Special Interest Groups, and/or other committees -- and can speak first-hand about standards and the standards development process.

Slide 4
HL7’s Vision / Mission
Health Level Seven (HL7) is an ANSI-accredited standards development organization that creates international electronic healthcare information standards
(grab updated text from website)
Slide 5
Executive Summary of the standard
HL7 builds on its solid foundation of international healthcare information technology standards by offering the Personal Health Record System Functional Model (PHR-S FM) as a draft reference standard for Personal Health Record System functionality
Slide 6
Executive Summary (con’t)
The PHR-S FM:Is consumer-orientedLists the functions that PHR systems should or may performProvides a standard that certifying organizations can useServes as an anchor point for promoting system interoperability
Slide 7
Business Area (domain) of the standard
Envision interactions with healthcare providers, devices, and healthcare-device systemsEnvision use in the home and when travelingSupport consent-based Public Health Reporting requirementsSupport consumer’s option to provide Emergency Responder informationSupport Quality Improvement needs
Slide 8
Overview of the standard
Brief description of the standardBusiness Problem being addressedWho should use it?Examples of users (local and global)
Slide 9
Overview of the standard
Brief description of the standardA PHR-System is an electronic system that enables the collection of consumer-oriented, short-term and long-term health-related records and health-related goalsThe PHR-S FM is a consensus-based, well-defined list of all PHR-healthcare-related functions that may appear in a PHR system and that may serve as a “Universe Of Discourse” for all stakeholdersElectronic systems consists of data and purposes for usingthe dataThe PHR-S FM lists the set of all purposes (functions) related to PHR dataThus, the PHR-S FM is not a data standard, but a functional standard
Slide 10
Overview of the standard
Business Problem being addressedConsumers have difficulty remembering, organizing, coordinating, and re-using healthcare-related dataProviders have difficulty collecting healthcare-related information from consumersStakeholders (patients/consumer, providers, payers, etc.) have difficulty communicating and coordinating healthcare informationSystem designers have difficulty creating systems that address the various stakeholders’ needs (in an interoperable fashion)
Slide 11
Overview of the standard
Business Problem being addressedProvide a technology- and implementation-neutral standard that describes what PHR systems should or may doProvide a basis for building “roadmaps”Accommodate the present; look to the futurePromote interoperability between EHR systems and PHR systems
Slide 12
Overview of the standard
Business Problem being addressedAccommodate various business modelsPromote “trustworthiness and acceptance”of consumer-provided data towards providersPromote the use of Privacy, Security, and Confidentiality standards and policiesProvide clarity to the PHR market (nationally and internationally)Offer a basis for system certification
Slide 13
Overview of the standard
Business Problem being addressedServe as the cornerstone for describing:
PHR Systems, thus:Enabling ModularityDefining FunctionalityScoping subsystems
PHR System interoperability, thus:Clarifying InterfacesEnabling well-defined “Services”
Slide 14
Overview of the standard
Examples of (actual or potential) usersGovernments: Brazil – to set a national standardPayers: (Various) – to provide a value-added service to beneficiariesStandards Development Organizations: ISO – to evaluate the need for an international standardConsumers / Consumer Advocates: To analyze Privacy, Security, and Confidentiality expectations
Slide 15
Overview of the standard
Examples of usersVendors: (Various) to expand functionality suiteHealthcare Providers (primary and ancillary): (Various) – to provide a value-add to patientsQuality-Oversight / Accreditation organizations: (Various) – to prepare certification scripts
Slide 16
Overview of the standard
Origin of the work-effortThe Personal Health Record Working Group (PHR WG) is a subgroup under the HL7 EHR Technical CommitteePHR WG began work in early 2005Participants include an international collaboration of: vendors, payers, providers, informaticists, government

Overview of the standard

PH.2 Manage Historical Clinical Data And Current State Data
PH.3 Wellness, Preventive Medicine, and Self Care
PH.4 Manage Health Education
PH.5 Account Holder Decision Support
PH.6 Manage Encounters with Providers

IN.2 Standards Based Interoperability
IN.3 Security
IN.4 Auditable Records
Functions are categorized and listed hierarchically. (The highest level functions are shown.)
Each function has an ID, Name, Statement, Description, Examples, and Conformance Criteria.
Slide 18
Sample Function in the PHR-S FM
PH.2.5.1 Manage Problem ListsStatement: Manage the account holder’s health problem list and provide the
ability to manage the problem list over time.Description: Problems are a core feature of the medical record that provides
structure and direct management. Problems may include diagnoses…Example: Problem list items may include: chronic conditions, diagnoses,
allergies, or symptoms, both past and present, as well as …1. The system SHALL provide the ability to capture, display and report all
problems associated with an account holder.2. The system SHALL capture, display and report a history of all problems
associated with the account holder.3. The system SHALL provide the ability to capture the date the problem was
documented.4. The system SHOULD provide the ability to capture the chronicity (chronic,
acute/self-limiting, etc.) of a problem.(...)11. The system MAY provide the ability to consolidate or group multiple
problems or related problems under a single problem.
Slide 19
Implementation lessons learned
The PHR-S FM is not an “implementablespecification” (as are other HL7 specifications); rather, the PHR-S FM aids systems requirements definitionThe PHR-S FM is new as of January 2008; industry feedback is expected over the two-year DSTU period
Slide 20
Status of the standard
Summer 2007: Public Comment reviewDecember 2007: Ballot passed as a “Draft Standard for Trial Use”2008 – 2010: DSTU-level improvementAfterwards: Full ANSI standard; promotion towards ISO standard
Slide 21
Status of the standard
Currently seeking feedback:Does the PHR-S FM include the breadth of functions that would be useful to a consumer in managing his or her healthcare?Should there be additional functionality?Are there industry trends that have not been accounted for – but should be?Are there areas for specific international scope that need to be broadened?Are the conformance criteria granular enough and comprehensive enough to support a given function?

Slide 23
Benefits of the standard
Governments: Public Health data; Identify fraud and abuse; Quality Assurance; Compliance; Reduce costsPayers: Pay for performance; value-add services (e.g., Care Management); Reduce costsStandards Development organizations: reduce overlap and duplication; identify gapsConsumers: interface with provider, payer, pharmacy, Pharmacy Benefits Manager; reduce office waiting time; reduce paperwork; populate PHR’s; self-manage healthcare
Slide 24
Benefits of the standard
Vendors: System definition / scope / profiles; RFP’s; best-of-breed collaboration; certificationHealthcare Providers (primary and ancillary):modularization; apples-to-apples comparisons; simplify interfaces; purchasing incentives; access to best practices; access patient data; streamline workflowQuality-Oversight / Accreditation organizations:consent-based collection of raw data for analysis and reporting; identify providers that are outliers.
Slide 25
Next steps / recommendations
How to use / implement the standardGet the standard; review it; receive educationDevelop a “profile” (a subset) that describes your requirements
How to influence your organizationEmphasize that the standards-based approach is cost-effective, wise, and difficult (but less difficult than NOT using standards)Note that interoperability is highly desirable for PHR’s
