SAMHSA HIT Standards Development
SAMHSA has been working with the International Standards
Organization Health Level 7 (HL-7) to define consensus
standards for:
• Behavioral health information to be included in standard
consolidated clinical document architecture documents
(CCDA)
• Security & Privacy Classification System
 Expanding efforts to develop standards for information
sharing with social services (HUD, CJ, ACF, etc.)
 We are also working with the ONC S&I workgroups for Long
term coordination of care and Transitions of care to ensure
that behavioral health information is included and aligned
with the data standards in the BH-CCD
 Standardized value sets for behavioral health related clinical
quality measures
