Interoperability Overview

VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
What is Interoperability?
Interoperability refers to the relationships between systems, information, and people required to provide outstanding health care and benefits for our Servicemembers and Veterans.• Systems include the infrastructure and equipment needed to store
information and move it from place to place• Information includes all the data, from all useful sources, needed for
providing and receiving care and benefits • People include clinicians and other providers, claims processors, transition
coordinators, etc., as well as the Veterans and Servicemembers providing or receiving care and benefits
4
VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
Three Key Interoperability Relationships
Relationship #1 – Technical Interoperability • Information must be reliably exchanged between multiple Systems so People in
different places and organizations can see it, use it and add to it
Relationship #2 – Semantic Interoperability • Information exchanged between Systems must have shared meaning in order for
People (assisted by computers) to use it for making care and benefits decisions
Relationship #3 – Process Interoperability • People (assisted by computers) must be able to make use of shared Information in
their local workflows and processes for providing and receiving care and benefits

Proposed i3P – a Foundation for Seamless Interoperability
8
The integrated Electronic Health Record (iEHR) Informatics
Integration and Interoperability Platform (i3P) will be an
inherent cross-platform capability between VA and DoD health
information systems, creating a seamless, interoperable,
longitudinal health record for Servicemembers and Veterans.
VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
What Will i3P Do?• Federate data from legacy and future DoD and VA Electronic Health Record (EHR)
and related business systems– Enables interoperability relationships between old and new health information
technology (HIT) Systems, Information and People from all critical DoD and VA health data domains
• Aggregate, store and index eHealth Exchange data used by VA and DoD providers in clinical decision making
• Facilitate decommissioning of several complicated and expensive legacy VA-DoD health data sharing mechanisms in Fiscal Year 2015-2016
• Provides a shared platform for data federation, clinical terminology, access management, patient identity, and support for clinical decision services for VA and DoD
– Enables decommissioning of Clinical/Health Data Repository (CHDR), most Bidirectional Health Information Exchange (BHIE) SHARE and Framework components, jMeadows, Medical Domain Web Services (MDWS), VistAWeb, and consolidation of DoD and VA Virtual Lifetime Electronic Records (VLER) Adapters

Janus JLV Features
11
Features• Web-based Graphical User Interface• Integrated, chronological view of VA and DoD patient
data on a single screen• Displays progress notes, problem lists, labs, vitals,
immunizations, allergies, medications, Essentris inpatient discharge summaries (DoD), and radiology
• User friendly, configurable screen layout• Easy to learn, intuitive user interface
Benefits• Simplifies review of patient records, returning valuable
time to providers• Will reduce printing, scanning , and faxing of paper
records • Designed to support frequent enhancements and
upgrades
Janus JLV provides an integrated read-only view of health data from DoD and VA sources in a common viewer.
An important stepping stone toward modernizing our VA and DoD health information systems, JLV will support care of our Wounded Warriors and Veterans by improving access to electronic patient records and reducing the need to transfer information by fax, mail, or CD.

Janus JLV Proposed FY14-16 Mission and Objectives
13
Janus JLV provides an integrated view of health data from DoD and VA sources in a common viewer. Janus JLV will continue to simplify the review of patient records, will reduce printing, scanning and faxing of paper records, and supports both clinical and benefit adjudication activities in the DoD and VA.
Janus JLV Mission
• Sustainment
• Complete incorporation of Block 2-4 domains as needed (may not be needed if superseded by Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM) or VistA 4 viewer)
• Development as required for specific customer needs (i.e., enhancements requested by Veterans Benefit Administration (VBA) or National Guard users)
• Work to transition JLV viewer features into DoD DHMSM and VA VistA 4 applications
• Display of normalized data for seven Accelerator domains + i3P Block 1 and 2 domains as available on path to enable retirement of legacy systems
• Incorporate eHealth Exchange functionality to enable VistAWeb retirement
• Healthcare Artifact and Image Management Solution (HAIMS)/VistA Imaging viewer and doclist widgets
• Integrate with iEHR Document Management System (DMS) (including terminology service)
• User Interface and usability enhancements based on customer requirements
• Capacity for up to 40,000 concurrent users
• Expand footprint at Military Health System (MHS) Enterprise Service Operations Center (MESOC), Austin Information Technology Center (AITC) and two regional Defense Information Systems Administration (DISA) Defense Enterprise Computing Centers (DECCs) to provide for additional capacity, load balancing and fail-over.

Background
• In 2013, VA and DoD Secretaries made decisions that require a change in EHR strategy
• The VA EHR will be VistA-based• Our mission has not changed

VistA IV is the infrastructure and open and extensible platform on which tools and services
can be integrated in support of our Veterans evolving needs and in pace with the
technological landscape.
VistA Evolution is the VHA program that will support this strategic plan through continual
investment and delivery of scalable and modular EHR and HIT products.
