Informatics in plain language using analogies to logistics, architecture, and translation

This presentation provides general information about the background and nature of SNOMED CT.

A short history of experience in recording clinical ideas in computer systems over the past forty years. This sets the context for the requirements associated with the adoption and development of SNOMED CT.

This presentation aims to introduce the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) in the context of public health participation in TEFCA-based data exchange. It features panelists who discuss how they envision their health agency benefiting from TEFCA and how they are preparing to participate. You will also learn more about the legal and policy considerations around TEFCA.

The questions included in this FAQ were collected from the ASTHO Connects session, “TEFCA Overview and Perspectives from the Field” held on April 4, 2024 and follow-on questions from the session, as well as the ONC and CDC’s TEFCA Community of Practice. The questions answered in this document are not exhaustive: this FAQ will be considered a living document with updates made as ASTHO and its partners are able to answer additional questions.

In the LOINC Primer for Newborn Screening we provide an introduction to LOINC, with a focus on its applications in the newborn screening space. We review how LOINCs are made, how to find the right code for your specific test, and a few cases of what not to do.

This presentation is a review of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) and its relationship to public health. The recording is a presentation to the Tennessee Informatics Community of Practice.

Reframing Public Health Informatics is a collection of evidence-based framing recommendations and sample communications designed to help the public health workforce talk about informatics—what it is, how it works, and why its contributions are so important to achieving the goal of improved population health.

Resources resulting from a Public Health FHIR Implementation Collaborative workshop include a high-level overview of FHIR, a more in-depth review of the rules, regulations, and policy framework behind interoperability, and a workshop summary.

This presentation provides an overview of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) which has the overall goal to establish a floor of universal interoperability across the country. The Common Agreement will establish the infrastructure model and the governing approach for users in different networks to securely share basic clinical information with each other—all under commonly agreed-to expectations and rules.

This two-part presentation 1)provides content on: the History of LOINC as an organization and a community of users; a definition of LOINC and LOINC code basics; the LOINC concept model; the six LOINC axeses; and resources for learning more about LOINC. 2) an overview of a typical mapping project using LOINC.
