The Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) has begun work to identify global standards to support-core research data element exchange, specifically a common set of information that can readily be exchanged between EHRs and clinical research systems.
HITSP is a partnership between the public and private sectors to ensure the interoperability of electronic health records (EHRs) in the US.
As administrator of HITSP, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) appreciatively acknowledges 35 organizations that have contributed their financial support to make this work effort possible.
The initiative began late last year when the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requested that ANSI convene a workgroup of experts, to prioritize a value/use case for standards harmonization in this area.
Frances Schrotter, Senior Vice President and COO of ANSI, said: On behalf of ANSI, I thank these organizations for their generosity and forward thinking. These contributions have made it possible for HITSP to begin working toward a sustainable, interoperable infrastructure through which healthcare advances clinical research and in turn informs clinical care.
