This new team can utilize various Rapid Health Interoperability Resources as they pilot how to best apply the SDOH Clinical Care FHIR Implementation Guide (SDOH CC IG) in screening , diagnosis, goal setting, and intervention.
WHY IT IMPORTANT
The pilot, funded under a partnership agreement between the Office of National Coordination of Health IT (ONC) and Health Level Seven International (HL7), focuses on applying the social risk term FHIR Gravity – to information exchange.
ONC authors Ryan Argentieri, Samantha Meklir and Jawanna Henry write in ONC’s HealthITbuzz Blog.
The USCDI standard includes a set of data layers and core elements for the exchange of health information to capture information about conditions outside of medical practice that make a person’s health and well-being meet. risks – mainly access to food, housing and transportation.

Community-based organizations can participate in pilots with clinical partners to help enhance SDOH interoperability by improving the accessibility, exchange, and use of standards with experience. reality.
They are not limited to using SDOH standards in ONC guidelines in their work, according to the post.
TREND TO BIGGER
Through the secure collection, documentation, reporting, access and use of data across types of providers, ONC aims to address health inequalities that are rooted in poverty and racial segregation.
With the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requiring hospitals to be ready to report on SDOH screening quality by 2024, a multi-stakeholder effort to advance an FHIR-based approach to help providers level meets CMS requirements, according to HL7 CEO Dr. Charles Jaffe.
Jaffe said in the HL7 blog last month that while much work has been done to standardize data exchange in order to enhance SDOH interoperability, “there is still a gap when refinement is done in the country. the [electronic health records] and/or in third-party applications in addition to certified electronic health records. “
Since HL7’s commitment to sharing standards free of charge under licensing terms, many partnerships and collaborations with public and private health organizations have blossomed. More recently, this includes a partnership with the American Association for Health Informatics announced in May and the CodeX project, which focuses on improving data standardization and interoperability for proxies. prerogative in the field of cancer.
ON PROFILE
“ONC helped fund this work through a partnership agreement with HL7 to support HHS’s Strategic Approach to addressing societal determinants of health to promote equity. health, a three-pronged strategy to support a robust and interconnected data infrastructure, improve access to health and social services, and adopt a full government approach. government to promote the health and well-being of the population,” wrote Argentieri, Meklir and Henry.
