The Sequoia Project last week released the final version of the Data Usability Implementation Guide – a resource developed to provide guidance to improve the utility and value of the data end users receive. in clinical workflow.
WHY IT IMPORTANT
A joint project created by more than 360 members of the Sequoia Public Data Usability Working Group, the document (PDF) focuses on six subject categories: data origin and traceability of the changes; use code efficiently; reduce the impact of copies; integrity and reliability of data; data tagging and searchability and effective narrative use for data usability.
The Guidelines – developed with the help of more than 120 comments from various healthcare stakeholders – focus on priority use cases that can be applied within providers, implementation, network, governance framework, and health information exchange pilot program.
“This much-needed implementation guide makes recommendations for real-world data usability for communities and health information networks to enhance health information networks and communities,” said Mariann Yeager, CEO of The Sequoia. enhanced usability of health data shared by and among providers, public health, patients and others”. Plan.
TREND TO BIGGER
The Data Usability Working Group was launched in October 2020 to help advance the development of semantic interoperability. Its members are tasked with developing “clinical content-specific and practical implementation guidelines” for various stakeholders from the healthcare and interoperability industries. The goal is to create a comprehensive, comprehensive, and practical implementation guide for healthcare communities and networks.
ON PROFILE
“This data usability implementation guide can enable semantic interoperability between sending and receiving systems to more directly incorporate shared data into clinicians’ workflows.” and pave the way for accurate and reliable communication so that the data exchanged becomes easier to support clinical decision making and more actionable,” Didi Davis, vice president of informatics, compliance and interoperability of the Sequoia Project.
