Health Information Technology (01/01/2012) Health Information Technology (January 2012)

Executive Order 13410: Promoting Quality and Efficient Health Care in Federal Government Administered or Sponsored Health Care Programs promotes efficient delivery of quality health care through the use of health information technology, transparency regarding health care quality and price, and incentives to promote the widespread adoption of health information technology and quality of care. To support this objective the awardee shall adhere to the following interoperability standards and requirements. For purposes of this contract clause, interoperability is defined as the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.

The Health Information Technology Clause (January 2012) shall be inserted in Section H of all contracts that involve (1) the exchange of public health data between public health entities, CDC, and other federal agencies, or (2) the exchange of public health data within the clinical setting, such as hospitals and providers, or any combination of (1) and (2), and covers both situations. The inclusion of this clause is a Contracting Officer decision made with the advice and in coordination with the appropriate program officials from the requesting office.

Interoperability of Health Information Technology

This section of the clause applies to contracts that involve the exchange of public health data between public health entities, CDC, and other federal agencies. This supports the development and use of interoperable information systems for public health functions such as biosurveillance, situational awareness, laboratory science, or environmental health.

· In addition to complying with HHS Standards for Security Configurations (HHSAR Clause 352.239-70), HHS Standards for Encryption Language (HHSAR Clause 352.239-71) and Federal Laws, Regulations and Standards related to IT Security (HHSAR Clause 352.239-72), the awardee is required to meet recognized interoperability standards as follows:

· The awardee shall use nationally adopted Public Health Information Network (PHIN) standards (www.cdc.gov/phin) at the time of the system implementation, acquisition, or upgrade, in all relevant information technology systems supported, in whole or in part, through this contract. Where no PHIN standards exist, the awardee shall utilize recognized standards established by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) as described in their Nationwide Health Information Network (NwHIN) standards (www.hhs.gov/healthit/standards/background).

· The awardee shall use PHIN policies, standards, practices, and services in the research and implementation of efficient and effective public health information systems, to facilitate interoperability (the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged) with public health organizations and networks, including NwHIN.

· Where the awardee supports or participates in health information or data exchange with disparate entities, the awardee must have an architecture that is compatible with the architecture of PHIN, where appropriate. If PHIN standards do not exist, the awardee shall refer to NwHIN standards (www.hhs.gov/healthit/standards/background).

Public Health Data within Clinical Healthcare

This section of the clause applies to contracts that involve the exchange of public health data within the clinical setting, such as hospitals and providers. This supports the exchange of public health information, including laboratory exchange data, between public health entities and healthcare systems.

· The awardee shall use health IT investments, such as electronic health records (EHRs), personalized health records, and network components through which they operate and share information, that are certified by a recognized certification board and/or validated and tested with PHIN (www.cdc.gov/phin) or NwHIN (http://healthit.hhs.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=1153&mode=2) certification to ensure a minimum level of interoperability or compatibility of health IT products.

· The awardee may use services available from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) at www.healthit.ahrq.gov. This link provides technical assistance, identifies challenges to health IT adoption and use, and identifies solutions and best practices that have the potential to transform clinical practice through the best and most effective use of IT.

· Where feasible, the awardee shall collaborate with other healthcare entities, local quality improvement organizations, and/or local medical societies to promote the adoption of certified EHRs in clinical provider settings.

· Where feasible, the awardee shall collaborate with other healthcare entities and/or local hospital associations to promote the adoption of certified EHRs in hospital settings.

· The awardee shall identify public health entities that have a stake in the award and demonstrate interactions with them to implement and promote the adoption of PHIN and/or NwHIN data exchange standards in support of federal health initiatives (e.g., situational awareness, EHR Meaningful Use).

· The awardee shall report on public health information exchange activities that include partnerships with health information exchanges, other public health partners, or any other stakeholders within program reports, progress reports, or as requested by CDC.
