CDC-RFA-OE20-20010101SUPP20: Enhancing Public Health Laboratory Capabilities and Increasing Capacity

Supplemental Project Plan Appendix D: Informatics

Appendix E: Informatics Focus Area Name: Informatics

Focus Area Contact Information Jasmine Chaitram, zoa6@cdc.gov Jason Hall, zfr9@cdc.gov

1. General Information

Project Name Informatics – Cancer FHIR Standards Strategy and IG Development

Project Activity Contact Information Wendy Blumenthal

Approximate Amount of Supplemental Funding Available $300,000

2. Project Description

I. Purpose

To develop a Cancer FHIR strategy, advance a project in HL7 Public Health WG and develop an HL7 Implementation Guide for the submission of Cancer reports to Cancer

Registries.

II. Justification

Healthcare organizations are moving towards implementation of FHIR for interoperability between organizations. The uptake of the CDA Cancer standard has been slow at least in part because some EHR vendors are waiting to implement using FHIR.

III. Identification of need

Some EHR vendors are moving away from CDA implementations and will wait until a

FHIR Cancer IG is available to implement.

IV. New or expanded project

This is an expansion of standards work started in FY05.

3. Outcomes

Activities in this project should achieve or contribute to the following proximal outcomes:

Improved understanding of data-related challenges and data-informatics solutions among laboratory professionals and stakeholders mailto:zoa6@cdc.gov mailto:zfr9@cdc.gov

Activities in this project should achieve or contribute to the following intermediate outcomes:

IO-5 . Improved data exchange and interoperability among public health laboratories and their partners

Activities in this project should contribute to the following long-term outcome:

Improved effectiveness of public health laboratories, individually and as components of a national system

4. Strategies and Activities

List specific strategies, activities, and process measures

Strategy/Activity Process Measure

5. Budget

CELS/DLS project officers will provide budget spreadsheet for APHL to complete for requested funds by object class category

By submitting this project plan, I certify that my CIO currently does not maintain a comparable NOFO for similar activities and the proposed use of funds is consistent with the appropriation.

Please note: APHL is expected to collaborate with their CDC point of contact and/or technical monitor for this project to develop realistic measurable process objectives. In response to this proposal, APHL should provide a detailed work plan with: Outcomes, outcome measures, strategies/activities, and process measures.
