This set of documents covers some computer science basics that for the foundation of interoperability including networks, transport protocols and other fundamental topics.

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.

In this presentation we hear from Laura Pabst who leads birth defects and neonatal abstinence syndrome surveillance at CDC. This episode follows her journey into the work of interoperability and her hopes for the future of interoperability.

The Data Modernization Planning Toolkit supports Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) for Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Diseases recipients in planning data modernization ventures at health departments. This guide will help build leadership and partner buy-in for data modernization work and assist health departments in developing plans that prioritize data modernization activities.

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.

Part of Fundamentals of IIS series along with Interoperability and HL7 Basics. Goes over key concepts related to the characteristics of IIS data quality, how it's measured, examples of issues, and strategies for improvements.

Part of Fundamentals of IIS series along with Data Quality and HL7 Basics. Goes over the concepts of data exchange between IIS and other systems.

Part of Fundamentals of IIS series along with Data Quality and Interoperability. Goes over the HL7 V2 standard, why it's used for immunization messaging, what the impacts are on IIS, and IIS responsibilities related to HL7.

In this presentation, we will go over the process for onboarding a data submitter for HL7-based interoperability.

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.

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

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.

These FHIR Fact Sheets are a collaborative effort to help educate and demystify FHIR. These fact sheets summarize the key technical concepts that make up the foundation of FHIR, how it is developed in an open and public process, and why FHIR adoption has become the focus of the health IT standards world.

A fishbone diagram helps team members visually diagram a problem or condition's root causes, allowing them to truly diagnose the problem rather than focusing on symptoms.

A Fishbone document is used to explore the potential root causes of a problem.

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.

Training modules around the Stage 2 Meaningful Use (MU) Rule to train Eligible Professional (EPs) and Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) on how to implement new standards

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.

In this presentation, we will define use case in an implementation guide, go over an HL7 v2 message, and review each of the newborn screening standards that exist today.

This short presentation describes the ONC's Interoperability Standards Advisory and how it gets updated

This short presentation describes the ONC's US Core Data for Interoperability and how it gets updated

This video presentation will review the latest HL7 interoperability standard, FHIR. We'll put FHIR into context relative to other HL7 products and examine how FHIR defines resources to represent a variety of different healthcare entities and events. We'll also discuss how Public Health programs

In this presentation, we will be introducing the different HL7 product families that are used to exchange clinical data.

In this presentation, we will discuss the different message types and their trigger events. Then we will go over the structure of an HL7 Version 2 message.

n this presentation we will explore the location, organization and content of the v2 base standard.

In this presentation, we will describe the purpose and organization of the Health Level 7 (HL7) standards development organization

In this presentation, we will give an introduction to standards. We review what standards are, why they are important, and how they are developed and implemented.

In this presentation, we introduce interoperability. We define important terms and building blocks for achieving interoperability in Newborn Screening programs.

Evaluation in the context of public health informatics and discuss why evaluation is necessary

Definition and value proposition for Public Health informatics

Communicating the Value of Public Health Informatics

This course provides information on the role and processes of laboratory informatics through exploration of the “life of a result” as data and results move through the laboratory and outside the laboratory. Topics covered include characterization of the recipients of laboratory data, data and results storage, and the communication of data and results (especially electronically) to various stakeholders

Definition of the knowledge, skills, and abilities of those working in the discipline

This course provides information on the role and processes of laboratory informatics through exploration of the “life of a specimen” as a specimen moves through the laboratory. Topics covered include the roles of various personnel in the laboratory informatics enterprise, data relationships, data quality, and standards, and the generation and flow of information as a specimen progresses through the pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic phases.

An overview of the FHIR interoperability standard and how it may be applied to a Public Health use case
