Download as PPT, PDF2 likes724 views
The document discusses 'Connect,' an open-source platform designed to promote military health by improving interoperability in the healthcare system, which is currently fragmented and expensive. It outlines the platform's goals to facilitate the secure exchange of electronic health information and its role in supporting numerous federal and private healthcare initiatives. Additionally, it highlights the importance of collaboration between the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs to develop a comprehensive system for managing military personnel's health records throughout their careers.
![Vision for VLER The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) have been partnering to meet the President's April 09, 2009 mandate that "Both Departments [VA and DoD] will work together to define and build a system that will ultimately contain administrative and medical information from the day an individual enters military service throughout their military career, and after they leave the military."](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/militaryopensourcesoftwareconference2010deckv2-100805000058-phpapp01/85/CONNECT-An-Open-Source-Platform-for-Promoting-Military-Health-6-320.jpg)
CONNECT: An Open Source Platform for Promoting Military Health

- 2. The Current State of Affairs: A Disjointed, Expensive Healthcare System U.S. spent approx. $2.2 trillion on health care in 2007 ($7,421/person). This comes to 16.2% of GDP, nearly twice the average of other developed nations . (Source: www.whitehouse.gov ) Only about 8% of the nation's 5,000 hospitals and 17% of its 800,000 physicians currently use the electronic health record (EHR) systems envisioned for the whole nation. Most of today’s systems are still not interoperable. (Source: CNN) Due to lack of interoperable EHRs , tests are duplicated, information is unavailable at the point of care, public health information is difficult to track and health organizations carry a heavy administration burden.
- 3. Federal Health Architecture Advancing the Agenda FHA ensures federal participation in ONC-led initiatives such as the NHIN, NHIN Direct, EHR adoption, and CONNECT E-gov initiative managed by ONC within HHS • 26+ federal agencies participate in FHA c
- 4. CONNECT Meeting Multiple Objectives CONNECT promotes the widespread adoption of interoperable health IT. It uses nationally recognized standards, conventions and trust agreements, to address multiple complex objectives simultaneously. CONNECT is a federally funded, Open Source software solution that is a: Platform for Participation Platform for Innovation Reform Objectives Meaningful Use Objectives Transparent Government Objectives
- 5. NHIN Exchange and CONNECT The Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) is a set of standards, services, and policies that enable secure health information exchange over the internet. NHIN Exchange connects a diverse set of federal agencies and private organizations to securely exchange electronic health information using the NHIN services. (For example: SSA – MedVirginia, DoD, VA and KP) CONNECT is a federally funded and developed open source reference implementation of the NHIN Exchange standards and services. CONNECT is using an effective public – private collaboration to create a secure, standard platform for health information exchange NHIN Exchange participants save resources by using CONNECT instead of developing their own implementation of the NHIN Exchange standards and services
- 6. Vision for VLER The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) have been partnering to meet the President's April 09, 2009 mandate that "Both Departments [VA and DoD] will work together to define and build a system that will ultimately contain administrative and medical information from the day an individual enters military service throughout their military career, and after they leave the military."
- 7. VLER Reality Achieving VLER requires cooperation well beyond the DoD and VA. DoD 60-70% of DoD beneficiary care is provided by the civilian (i.e. “Network”) sector. DoD beneficiaries are one of the largest and most mobile patient populations. VA Approximately 40% of Veterans receive a portion of their care outside of VA treatment facilities.
