Introduction to Interoperability, Standards and the Role of the Public Health Domain expert

Surveillance modernization efforts emphasize the potential use of electronic health record (EHR) data to inform public health surveillance and prevention. However, EHR data streams vary widely in their completeness, accuracy, and representativeness. This publication describes a validation process developed by the Multi-State EHR-Based Network for Disease Surveillance (MENDS) pilot project to identify and resolve data quality issues that could affect chronic disease prevalence estimates.

The goal of this course is to help orient new informaticians to the HL7 V2 message structure and take a deep dive into message content.

In this training, we'll cover interoperability, the background and history of HL7, and the main HL7 standards that are used in public health. By the end of this video, you will be able to: define interoperability, distinguish between syntactic and semantic interoperability, examine the history

Learn the difference between eCR and traditional case reporting. See how eCR is a faster process to receive and send more complete data.
