Is BioSense coordinating with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and the American Health Information Community (AHIC) efforts?
Yes, BioSense supports the efforts of the HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) is a collaborative effort to harmonize health information interoperability standards, particularly health vocabulary and messaging standards. The American Health Information Community (AHIC) was formed to help advance efforts to reach the President’s call for most Americans to have electronic health records within ten years. The work done on BioSense has greatly influenced the Minimum Data Set (MDS) guidelines set forth by AHIC and BioSense will be field testing the MDS over 2007 and 2008 to determine if it is feasible.
