What’s the Objective
• Highest possible quality of care to patients
– Actually to people – not just patients!
• Involve patients in their own care
– Empower/Inform them
– Give them choices
– Moving towards a ‘patient centered’ approach
• Clinically Driven
• Cost effective
• Population health
• Research

It’s all very complicated!
(and just a bit messy)
We’ll come back to this…
HealthBase

•
What’s the problem?
Information is all over the place
– Kept at place of collection, plus copied
Each system is an Island
– Relies on messaging to share information
Interoperability is hard!
– Quality: Data not consistently represented or coded
• Auckland labtests example
• GP2GP development
•
•
•
No single ‘source of truth’
– What medications has a patient been taking
Patient can’t access all information
– Or know who has accessed their record
Each system user responsible for system management
– Backup, update, audit, disaster recovery (DR)
Fundamentally, the systems are not designed to share
Designed and built when sharing was the exception
We need a common architecture, and common standards

Timelines
• 2010 National Health IT Plan
• Dec 1010 Sector Architects Group (SAG) formed Interoperability TWG,
with core team of Dr David Hay, Alastair Kenworthy, Alan Le Maitre and Dr
Koray Atalag to develop draft RA.
• Feb 2011 work started
• May 2011 1st draft out for peer consultation at http://www.hive.org.nz/
– Significant international feedback
– Most comments were on modelling techniques and reference
information models
– Most criticism was of alphabet soup
• Peer reviewed draft due July 2011
• Summarised as 3 ‘building blocks’
• Formal proposal to HISO August/September 2011

Scope of Reference Architecture
• Vision: from the Health IT Plan, a patient focused, integrated
healthcare model, enabling shared care between all providers
involved in the patient’s care
• Scope: Create a future state interoperability architecture to
facilitate inter-system and inter-facility exchange of health
information to support the Health IT Plan
• This approach will enable the working interoperability to
support the eHealth vision
– To achieve high quality healthcare and improve patient
safety, by 2014 New Zealanders will have a core set of
personal health information available electronically to
them and their treatment providers regardless of the
setting as they access health services

Shared Care Record
• Regional CDRs are a key
part of working
interoperability
• Working interoperability is
an enabler for shared care
records as described by
the IT Plan

Interoperability
“Ability
of two or more systems or components to
exchange information and to use the information that
has been exchanged”
– [IEEE Standard Computer Dictionary: A Compilation of IEEE Standard Computer
Glossaries, IEEE, 1990]
Functional
interoperability
Semantic
interoperability
Functional Interoperability - message structure - eg HL7 v2, CDA

RA Principles
Align to national strategy
Be business needs focussed
Work with sector
Use proven standards
Invest in information
Adopt services approach
Develop single content model for exchange

“How the information is packaged”
HealthBase

Payload Standards
• The standard payload will be an HL7 v3 CDA (Clinical
Document Architecture) R2 document
• Emerging standards:
– CDA R3
– HL7 v3 messaging
• Contained standards
– HL7 v2.x – use in specified domains and settings
(e.g. lab, intra-facility)
– DICOM
– No business advantage to change
– New projects will use CDA
HealthBase
enterprise architecture
Where is CDA being
used?

What is CDA?
• A document that a human can read
– Wholeness, Context and other document
attributes
• Computer can understand
• Contains clinical content
– ‘Incremental Interoperability’
• XML
• “Architecture” – a way to control it’s contents

CDA Template Library
• Each document type has a collection of sections that
must/may be present
– Eg eReferrals, EDS, ePrescribing
• Envisage a national ‘library’ of recognised document
types (eReferral, eDischarge, ePrescription) and
sections/entries (allergies, medications, problems)
– Re-use not re-invent
• Embrace/extend international profiles where
possible
• Effective governance essential!
– Must be seen as facilitating projects, not
hindering them

•
What’s the Difference?
Core information sits in shared repositories behind standardized services.
– Data:
• Medications, Allergies, Laboratory, Radiology,
• Reduced duplication, enhanced sharing
– Other services
• Immunisation
•
•
•
•
All systems (including GP PMS) access as required
– only data locally is cache
Systems management is performed by the hosting service
– Not the GP!
– Reduced risk
Allow sophisticated Privacy, Audit & Security
This is how other sectors with distributed requirements are built (banking,
intelligence, airline)
– Need to think of health information as a single sector with multiple
independant participants, rather than aggregation of separate systems
– We’re special – but not THAT special!
HealthBase
enterprise architecture
What’s the advantage
• Improved Clinical Safety
– Patient information is available from anywhere (including mobile), to any
authorised person
– Reduce duplication
• Enable different business models
– Software as a Service (SAAS)
– Fully mobile solution
• Allow vendors to innovate on UX and extras rather than core functionality
• Patient participation enabled
• Cost savings – individual and sector
– Consolidation of systems and services
• Possible new services e.g. centralized schedules & billing
– Reduce duplication of tests
– The GP practice does less
• Process and Risk of IT management moved to specialized companies - not GP

continuity…

That’s my business you’re
talking about!
• No, it’s only the clinical information supporting your
business and supporting services (like test ordering,
referrals, decision support)
– Which is about the patient
– It’s empowering your real business:
• Delivering healthcare, and your relationship with the patient
• Business related information (like financials and
transaction summaries) is not included
– Though similar architectures might be useful
• Security and privacy concerns (for everyone) will need to
be thought through carefully – and gradually!
HealthBase
enterprise architecture
Information stewardship
• ‘looking after’ the information, not ‘owning’ it
• This should be the sector focus – not the deployment
considerations
• Things to think about:
– Access requirements
• Within system, fully mobile, web based portal
– Regional / National access
• What goes where?
– Access Control (including patient)
• Access based on relationship to patient
– The patient, the GP, ‘treating’ clinician etc
– Break Glass
– Auditing rules and notifications
HealthBase

In Conclusion
• The Reference Architecture provides a high level
strategy for improving healthCare interoperability in
New Zealand.
• Individual projects create Solutions Architectures
guided by and conformant with the RA.
• It is built on National and International best practice
and experience
• Its intent is to support the national IT Strategy and its
goal of improving healthCare delivery
• Please read and comment on the Building Blocks!
