The Center for Information Technology (CIT), Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), is pleased to sponsor this latest revision and updating of the compilation of activities voluntarily reported by selected healthcare informatics standards organizations.
Reports have been solicited from those organizations which are among the most active in drafting and promulgating standards in this restricted area of application. Each of the organizations was originally asked to provide information on published healthcare informatics standards and on meetings held within the past few years. Further information was solicited on work in progress in the form of subject areas in which groups were working to draft standards for approval by some sponsoring organization and on forthcoming meetings sponsored, or co-sponsored, by the respondent organization. Several additional organizations have voluntarily requested to have this compendium include summaries of their activities and are included herein.
Most reporting organizations have continued to provide revisions and updated information on the reported activities for subsequent revisions. If no updated information was received from any reporting organization, the most recent report is included in this compilation.
The collection and compilation of the information in this document was carried out by Moshman Associates, Inc. Suggestions for later editions or revisions may be made to AHCPR/CIT or to Moshman Associates.

The American Dental Association (ADA) is sponsor and secretariat of Accredited Standards Committee MD156 for Dental Material, Instruments and Equipment. Through a Task Group of the ASC MD156, the ADA has initiated the development of technical reports, guidelines, and standards on electronic technologies used in dental practice. Five working groups for clinical information systems have been established to promote the concept of a dental computerized clinical work station and allow the integration of different software and hardware components into one system in order to provide for all of a clinician's information needs. Clinical information systems include all areas of computer-based information technologies such as digital radiography, digital intraoral video cameras, digital voice-text-image transfer, periodontal probing devices, and CAD/CAMs, etc. By establishing standards for these components we will eliminate the need for several stand-alone systems in the dental office.
Each working group encompasses a broad spectrum of projects under a central theme. Within each working group, subcommittees are responsible for the specific projects. Each subcommittee will be researching standards already in existence to determine if they could be applicable to dentistry. Participants were also interested in interfacing with standards groups active in medical informatics.
A listing of working groups and their proposed subcommittees follow:
The ADA is currently working on an Implementation Guide for dental claims submission based upon the GOAD X12 837 (claim submission) transaction set. The Association also participated in the development of several of the other implementation guides for claims processing (e.g. enrollment, eligibility, payment, etc.). Most of the guides should be completed within the next few months. The guides will assist practice management vendors, third-party payers and clearinghouses in the execution of the ASC X12 standards.

Health Level Seven (HL7)

Mark McDougall |
James Adams |
HL7 was founded in 1987 to develop standards for the electronic interchange of clinical, financial and administrative information among independent health care oriented computer systems; e.g., hospital information systems, clinical laboratory systems, enterprise systems and pharmacy systems.
In the last four years, its membership has tripled to over 1,500 hospital, professional society, health care industry, and individual members including almost all of the major health care systems consultants and vendors. The HL7 standard is supported by most system vendors and used in the majority of large U.S. hospitals today. It is also used internationally in such countries as Australia, Austria, Germany, Holland, Israel, Japan, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
In June of 1994, HL7 was designated by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an ANSI accredited standards developer. In February 1996, ANSI announced that the H standard version 2.2 has been approved as an AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD.
In late 1995 and throughout 1996, HL7 has also dedicated resources to the acceleration of its version 3.0 standard. Such resources will enable HL7 to develop the version 3.0 standard in a much quicker time frame and still follow the ANS{I balloting procedures.
The current standard defines transactions for transmitting data about patient registration, admission, discharge and transfers, insurance, charges and payors, orders and results for laboratory tests, image studies, nursing and physician observations, diet orders, pharmacy orders, supply orders, and master files. HL7 is currently developing transactions for exchanging information about appointment scheduling, problem lists, clinical trial enrollments, patient permissions, voice dictations, advanced directives, and physiologic signals. Task forces in HL7 are also busy developing prototype transactions with new state of the art technologies such as CORBA and Microsoft's OLE objects.
HL7 has a pure focus on health care informatics standards and cooperates closely with other standards developers such as American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Accredited Standards Committee X12N (ASC X12N), American College of Radiology (ACR), National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP), and Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) directly and via the ANSI Health Informatics Standards Board, formerly the ANSI Health Informatics Planning Panel. Examples of such cooperative efforts include planning future joint meetings with X12N, cross-copyrights with ASTM, and hosting joint working group meetings with IEEE, ACR-NEMA, and ASTM.
HL7 has pioneered the provision of its minutes and standard drafts at no cost through Internet FTP servers on [dumccss.mc.duke.edu] Internet and supports a discussion group on the HL7@ Virginia.EDU list server. We encourage other standards organizations do the same.
HL7 also maintains a robust world wide web home page on the Internet. The address is:

HL7 has been meeting regularly since March 1987. HL7 meetings have generally been held three times each year in January, May and September. The traditional meeting schedule is as follows: an introductory Tutorial on HL7 is provided on Tuesday; Working Group meetings convene on Wednesday through Friday morning. HL7's Fall meeting also includes a Plenary meeting that features presentations on various topics of interest to information technology professionals in health care.
In an attempt to better coordinate activities with ASC X12N, HL7 has moved some of its meetings to coincide with the X12N interim meeting schedule (i.e., December, April and August). A schedule of recent and future HL7 Working Group meetings is provided below:

WG1 - Telecommunications
Members of WG1 designed and implemented NCPDP's Telecommunication Standard, Version 3.2, which transmits prescription drug and pharmaceutical care benefit/distribution and delivery information including On-Line, Real-Time drug utilizaiton review and financial claims data between pharmacies and trading partners. Maintenance of that standard is continuing and an interim meeting of one of the group's task groups was held in Atlanta in October to discuss a strategic plan for a new version of the Standard. The Compound Implementation Guide was also completed.
Future Projects: Continued discussions and enhancements toward a new version of NCPDP's Telecommunication Standard
WG2 - Product Identification
WG2 recently changed its name (from Standard Billing Unit) and its scope statement. This group will continue to deal with issues relating to the identification of drugs and health related products within NCPDP's stated mission. The group developed a task group to monitor the phase-in of the Metric Decimal Quantity field into the data capture logic and continues with routine maintenance of the Billing Unit Standard.
Future Projects: Ongoing enhancement, maintenance and implementation of the standard. Development of a standard to incorporate the use of Universal Product Codes (UPCs).
WG3 - Standard Identifiers
This group also recently changed its name (from Standard Prescriber Identification Number). WG3 continues its work with HCFA in the development of their National Provider Identifier and the new PayerID number. They will continue monitoring HCFA's work and make recommendations where appropriate.
Future Project: The group will continue to work with HCFA and DEA on the release of the National Provider Identification (NPI) file, as well as the PayerID 'number.
WG4 - Enrollment Standard
WG4 continues routine maintenenance of their standard for processing drug benefit enrollment information between employers, their agents, insurers and prescription benefit managers. Created an Implementation Guide for their Enrollment Standard.
Future Project: Continued enhancement of the Standard and Implementation Guide as well as mappping the standard to the X12 834 Implementation Guide.
WG5 - Payment Reconciliation
Continued efforts toward mapping the NCPDP Batch Tape Reconciliation standard over to X12 835 and continued the creation of an 835 Implementation Guide for pharmacy.
Future Project: Development of an Implementation Guide for Pharmacy using the X12 835 Report, as well as mapping NCPDP elements to the X12 835.
WG6 - Universal Health Care Form
WG6 worked on revisions to the Direct Reimbursemenmt paper claim form, including allowing the use of a prescriber identification field to include the prescriber's telephone number.
Future Projects: WG6 will go dormant until May 1996.
WG7 - Manufacturer's Rebates
Continued maintenance and enhancements to their X12 837 based standard and implementation guide for processing financial rebate information between PICOs, prescription benefit managers, insurers, manufacturers and others.
Future Projects: Looking at costs of transmitting rebate claim information electronically, as well as other EDI capabilities.
WG8 - Drug Utilization Review
Modifications were made to the On-Line, Real-Time Drug Utilization Review) (ORDUR) Applications Manual and continued work on Formulary Messages. At the last work group meeting of 1995, WG8 officially merged with WG10 Professional Pharmacy Services.
Future Projects: See WG10 Professional Pharmacy Services.
WG9 - Government Programs
Assist state and other government programs with needed maintenance of NCPDP standards and with the smooth implementation of those standards in government programs. Worked on the Batch Transmission Standard and Implementation Guide, as well as the Prior Authorization Standard and its Implementation Guide. Consistently reviewed and updated the On-Line Summaries for State Medicaids.
Future Projects: Will continue mainteneance and enhancements of Batch and Prior Authorization Standards
WG10 - Professional Pharmacy Services
Completed work on the professional Pharmacy Services Implementaton Guide. The PPS codes, developed by this work group, were released to the public. At the last work group meeting of 1995, WG10 officially merged with WG8 Drug Utilization Revfiew to form one work group, which will be known as WG10 Professional Pharmacy Services.
WG10 - Professional Pharmacy Services
Future Projects: Will continue making enhancements to the PPS Implementation Guide and will continue to explore and discuss issues regarding the transmission of clinical and billing data as it applies to the delivery of professional pharmacy services.
WG11 - Prescriber/Pharmacist Interface
After WG11's interim meeting in December of 1994, the group began mapping to UN/EDIFACT messaging syntax and a letter was sent to State Boards of Pharmacies educating them on the group's work.
Future Projects: SCRIPT standard was approved by the membership and will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees in June.
MC - Maintenance & Control
Continued to monitor the data elements that are added or changed in the standards that NCPDP has developed and set for the pharmacy industry. Updated the Data Element Request Form (DERF) process.
Future Projects: Will continue to monitor all added or changed data elements to NCPDP standards.
