Governance Design Group

This Design Group was established in order to develop high-level considerations for how to best establish an overall HIE governance framework and structure in CT. Specifically, this group will develop recommendations for the Health IT Advisory Council that address:

1. Relationship of Health IT Advisory Council, the State of Connecticut and the HIE entity
2. Pros and cons of establishing a new HIE entity or designating an existing entity with recommendations
3. Baseline elements of a trust agreement
4. Table of contents for HIE Policies & Procedures
5. Critical success factors in HIE governance

Health Information Exchange (HIE) Use Case Design Group 

In light of the findings of the environmental scan, the HITO with the support of Health IT Advisory Council agreed to the formation of a time-limited, multi-stakeholder design group to discuss and prioritize a list of HIE use cases and HIE services that will bring the most value to the planning that will take place around shared infrastructure services in the state of Connecticut.

The purpose of this design group is:

1. To develop use cases that align with Council recommendations

2. To establish value propositions to prioritize the use cases

3. To validate high-level functional requirements for prioritized use cases

4. To provide recommendations on "buy vs. build" and "federated vs. central" shared infrastructural services

The HIE Use Case Design Group meets on a weekly basis via webinar.  Webinar information is located on the agenda of each meeting.

Immunization Information System (IIS) Implementation and Alignment Design Group 

In light of the findings of the environmental scan, the HITO with the support of Health IT Advisory Council agreed to the formation of a time-limited, multi-stakeholder design group to provide recommendations and a clear pathway to not only support the implementation of the DPH IIS plans, but to help ensure the alignment of the anticipated implementation of a new IIS system with the current HIE planning to support interoperability between providers, health care organizations, CIRTS, and a future statewide HIE entity.

The purpose of this design group is:

1. To familiarize the members with the high-level functional standards of an IIS based on the current and anticipated CDC functional standards and the work DPH has already completed to identify use cases, existing gaps, existing and future functionality, and proposed implementation timelines. This will give the group a baseline of knowledge about the IIS, DPH mandates and uses of the IIS, and current and future functional requirements.  
2. With that foundation, the design group will identify any additional stakeholder needs for the IIS and determine the prioritization those needs. This will allow DPH to create or enhance the appropriate use cases and business requirements in the new IIS implementation. In addition, the group will define the high-level stakeholder needs for how the IIS would become a sustainable, efficient, and shared statewide health-IT enabled solution. This design group will focus on the needs of DPH, consumers, and providers to support all relevant activities with immunizations and identify any technical assistance needed by providers and DPH to successfully implement electronic reporting to the IIS.     
3. The Design Group will review a high-level timeline and action plan that incorporates the identified needs of all stakeholders to be considered for the new IIS implementation.
4. The Design Group Recommendations will identify any additional follow-up activities.

Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQM) Design Group 

The purpose of the eCQM Design Group is to identify the objectives and requirements of an efficient, shared, statewide health IT-enabled electronic clinical quality measure solution that can extract, aggregate, and analyze relevant data from existing clinical sources (e.g. EHRs and registries) in the context of APMs. The design group may consider future requirements related to the integration of data from other electronic sources such as claims, patient-generated data, and state-sponsored databases.

The eCQM Design Group meets on a weekly basis via webinar.  Webinar information is located on the agenda of each meeting.
