A Solution for Managing Automated Electronic Health Information Disclosure
Electronically exchanging sensitive health information in full compliance with the regulatory environment is a challenge with a solution. You can click here to view a video demonstration of a standardized consent for health information disclosure that illustrates the solution. This video is a large file and may take your browser a moment to load. The video will show you an actual implementation of a standardized consent built on the HL7 V3.0 and HITSP TP30 standards on which all interoperable health care software is required to function. What the video will show you is real, not just screen shot mockups.
The video assumes you are familiar with the HL7 Continuity of Care Document (CCD). If you are not familiar with the CCD, click here to learn more.
The video production is based on a live demonstration of the standardized consent presented to SAMHSA on May 20, 2011. Click here for the press release with details of this presentation to SAMHSA.
The live demonstration to SAMHSA on May 20, 2011, also included a slide presentation explaining the larger framework within which a standardized consent would function. Click here to view this slide presentation.
The live demonstration was followed by a letter from SATVA to SAMHSA further clarifying the concepts and framework for a standardized consent for electronic health information disclosure. Click here to read this letter.
The live demonstration of the standardized consent was also presented to members of the Mental Health Corporations of America (MHCA) on May 27, 2011. Click here to read MHCA's response to this live demonstration.
