Notes:
Considerations for the standard: size of PDF files; keywords; scope of differences between hospital, clinic, etc.
Scope creep is of concern. May be too large and needs to be managed accordingly.
Security issues on searches and elements of the structure.
Scope is wide for approval of board from AIIM. Too limiting may define the scope in the long term and limit possibilities for the extent of the PDF structured PHR.
How does this complement concurrent work going on in HL7 and other PHR worlds? Need to investigate.
Key is to determine scope for the project during the March 30 meeting and defining physician to patient, physician to physician interface with PDF - patient record or summary record with high level guiding principles - support of multiple models, transactions, etc.
Sec'y Leavitt to begin promoting health records.
Archival of medical records is often divorced from the HIS department.
PDF is a consumer based technology.
2000 practices using EHR today - PDF could make the use of the transfer of faxing by physician to physician, physician to patient - would be an early fix to the overall transfer of data. Discussion to be continued.
Direct connection into the content management system and portal approach makes an easy, comprehensive process and complete with template that feeds into the PHR.
Legal and security concerns with the health record transfer and access to data. Rights management and privacy and security. Patients are selective about the information they provide.
PR opportunities and issues will be managed by PDF/H members and AIIM.
Face to face to be held in Portland on March 30, 2006.
