Health Care Survey Reporting Use Case

Table of Contents

Description

The purpose of the Health Care Survey use case is to identify the hospital (emergency department and inpatient care) and ambulatory care data that will be extracted from EHRs and/or clinical data repositories via FHIR APIs and sent to a system hosted at the federal level. This use case will help define how EHR data can be used in automated data collection, thereby reducing burden for the healthcare provider and EHR with the goal of increasing the submission of timely, quality health care data to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

Problem Statement

The current ambulatory (manual medical record abstraction) and hospital (claims) data collection method is burdensome for providers, lacks clinical richness, and is inefficient for NCHS.

Goals of the Use Case

  • Increase the response rate of sampled hospitals and ambulatory health care providers to the National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS) and the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS)

  • Increase the volume, quality, completeness, and timeliness of data submitted to the NHCS and NAMCS

  • Reduce the burden, including cost, associated with survey participation for hospitals, ambulatory health care providers, and data source vendors

  • Reduce NCHS’s costs associated with recruiting hospital and ambulatory health care providers, and the processing of NHCS and NAMCS data

  • Develop a complete use case that can be supported by the MedMorph Reference Architecture for the reporting of health care survey data from health care providers and systems to NCHS

Scope of the Use Case

In-Scope

  • Collect standardized data based on eligibility criteria from NAMCS[1] and NHCS[2] in the hospital and ambulatory care settings

  • Define under what circumstances a data source system must create and transmit a report to the NCHS data store

  • Identify the data elements to be retrieved from the data source to produce the report

  • Collect partial provider-level and all available patient-level data for NAMCS

  • Collect partial hospital/facility-level and all available patient-level data for NHCS

Out-of-Scope

  • Assessment of the data quality of the content extracted from the data source

  • Data captured outside the data source and communicated directly to registries

  • Changes to existing provider workflow or existing data entry

  • Policies of the clinical care setting to collect consent for data sharing. (Provider participation in the National Health Care Surveys is by invitation by NCHS based on being selected as part of the nationally representative samples of providers. Consent for participation in each National Health Care Survey is obtained during the manual recruitment process.)

  • Adult day services centers, residential care communities, nursing homes, home health agencies, and hospice

  • The National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) is designed to collect data on the utilization and provision of ambulatory care services in hospital emergency and outpatient departments and ambulatory surgery locations. While this IG could be used for NHAMCS data collection, at the present time NCHS is not intending to do so

Use Case Actors

Data Source: A system (e.g., EHR, clinical data repository) used in care delivery for patients which captures and stores data about patients and makes the information available instantly and securely to authorized users. While a data source does contain the medical and treatment histories of patients, a data source system is built to go beyond standard clinical data collected in a provider’s provision of care location and can be inclusive of a broader view of a patient’s care. EHRs are a vital part of health IT and can:

  • Contain a patient’s medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory and test results

  • Allow access to evidence-based tools that providers can use to make decisions about a patient’s care

  • Automate and streamline provider workflow

A FHIR Enabled Data Source exposes FHIR APIs for other systems to interact with the data source and exchange data. FHIR APIs provide well defined mechanisms to read and write data. The FHIR APIs are protected by an Authorization Server which authenticates and authorizes users or systems prior to accessing the data. The data source in this use case is a FHIR Enabled EHR.

Health Data Exchange App (HDEA) MedMorph’s backend services app: A system that resides within the clinical care setting and performs the reporting functions to public health and/or research registries. The system uses the information supplied by the NCHS  to determine when reporting needs to be done, what data needs to be reported, how the data needs to be reported, and to whom the data should be reported. The term “backend service” is used to refer to the fact that the system does not require user intervention to perform reporting. The term “app” is used to indicate that it is similar to a SMART on FHIR App which can be distributed to clinical care via the EHR specified processes. The EHR specified processes are followed to enable the Backend Services App to use the EHR's FHIR APIs to access data. The hospital or ambulatory organization is the one who is responsible for choosing and maintaining the HDEA.

National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Data Store: A FHIR server or service that receives and stores the health care survey data.

Health Care Survey Process Abstract Model

Figure 1 below is the high-level model that illustrates the actors, activity, and systems involved in Health Care Survey workflow.

Figure 1: Health Care Survey Abstract Model

 

The FHIR Enabled Data Source sends subscription notifications to the HDEA when there has been activity in topics to which the app subscribes. The HDEA then queries the Data Source for survey data and the Data Source returns the appropriate FHIR resources. The HDEA receives and validates the resources. The resources are compiled into a FHIR bundle and sent to the NCHS Data Store.

Use Case User Stories and Diagrams

Preconditions

Preconditions describe the state of the system, from a technical perspective, that must be true before an operation, process, activity, or task can be executed. Preconditions are what needs to be in place before executing the use case flow.

The preconditions for the healthcare survey reporting use case include:

  • Use Case Trigger: A patient encounter has happened, and the provider has signed off on the encounter

  • The data source, provider, and receiving systems expose HL7 FHIR APIs

  • Pertinent data elements are captured discretely in the data source

  • Public Health uses allowed by HIPAA and other statutory authorities have been defined and implemented

  • Provisioning workflows have been established. The provisioning workflow includes activities that publish the various metadata artifacts required to make data source data available to public health and/or research. These activities include publishing value sets, trigger codes, reporting timing parameters, survey instruments, structures for reporting, etc. These artifacts are used subsequently in data collection and reporting workflows

  • NCHS is authorized to collect hospital and other healthcare entities data under the authority of section 306 of the Public Health Service Act (42 United States Code 242k)

  • Participant has volunteered to participate in a National Health Care Survey (including data agreements if applicable)

  • Physician:

    • was sampled by NCHS and voluntarily recruited

    • has a partner who was sampled last year, underwent system testing and validation, and moved onto production submission of data

    • has already completed the provider level data collection for the survey year (however, this will not preclude confirmative and supplementary data collection of provider-level data from the FHIR Provider resource, as well as potentially other FHIR resources that can provide provider-level data during the patient-level data collection)

User Stories

User Story 1 – Ambulatory Setting

Background: The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) is based on a sample of patient visits to non-federally employed office-based physicians (primary care or specialist) who are primarily engaged in direct patient care. Starting in 2006, a separate sample of visits to community health centers (CHC) was added; in 2021, the former CHC sample of NAMCS was redesigned and launched as the health center (HC) component. NAMCS collects an encounter-based set of demographic and clinical data generally available in a medical record for any type of visit.

Workflow: Upon completion of an encounter, the physician or licensed clinician, using the EHR, completes and closes the clinical encounter (“sign off”). This “sign off” triggers the Health Data Exchange App (HDEA), MedMorph’s backend services app, to evaluate the completed encounter. The completed encounter evaluation by the HDEA includes validating that the provider associated with the encounter is a “sampled” NAMCS provider and the encounter occurred within a specified timeframe. If the encounter meets the criteria, and after a lag period to allow for lab results to post when applicable, the HDEA requests a set of FHIR resources representing patient-level and select provider-level data of the encounter from the Data Source. The obtained resources are validated (e.g., conformant to the appropriate FHIR profiles) and transmitted to NCHS where they are received, acknowledged, and loaded into the NCHS Data Store.

User Story 2 – Hospital Setting

Background: The National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS) is an electronic data collection, gathering Uniform Bill (UB) 04 administrative claims data or electronic health record data from sampled hospitals. NHCS is designed to provide reliable and timely nationally representative healthcare utilization data for hospital-based settings. NHCS collects all inpatient discharges, and Emergency Department (ED) encounters from sampled hospitals for a survey period of one year. NHCS’ sample is drawn from all non-federal US hospitals with a bed size > 6.

Workflow: Upon completion of an inpatient or ED encounter, the physician or licensed clinician completes and closes the clinical encounter (“sign off”). This “sign off” triggers the HDEA to evaluate the completed encounter against the NHCS criteria.  If the encounter meets the survey criteria, and after a lag period to allow for lab results to post when applicable, the HDEA requests a set of FHIR resources representing patient-level and select provider-level data of the encounter from the Data Source.  Once obtained and validated, these resources are transmitted to NCHS where they are received, acknowledged, validated, and loaded into the NCHS Data Store.

Policy Considerations

The policy considerations for the use case to be implemented in the real-world include:

  • MedMorph will use existing frameworks (e.g., FHIR APIs) for the exchange of data.

  • When there is a third party, a data use or business use/associate agreement may be needed (e.g., Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL)).

  • Public Health Authorities (PHAs) may have state-specific restrictions on collecting protected classes of data (e.g., AIDS status, mental health status, Substance Use Disorder/Opioid Use Disorder (SUD/OUD)).

    • If the patient gives consent for sharing of AIDs, mental health, etc. data the burden would be on the sending system.

    • For research use cases, there must be consent before the data is sent.

  • For jurisdictional restrictions on data that can not be collected, the MedMorph Reference Architecture will make provisions for defining actions (e.g., redaction, filtering, removal, validation) before submission. The actions could be triggered based on the content of specific data elements.

    • The MedMorph Reference Architecture will do an additional validation check on the data before the data leaves the healthcare organization. This is important in cases of a healthcare organization reporting to multiple jurisdictions.

Non-Technical Considerations

The policy considerations for the use case to be implemented in the real-world include:

  • Onboarding of EHRs and or tracking systems

  • The use, IT/data governance, and or versioning of FHIR between trading entities

  • Consent models for data exchange:

  • Data that is stored outside the EHR (e.g., Prescription Drug Monitoring Progam (PDMP) data, Hepatitis C wants drug use data) may not be available

  • Any activities that are not associated with a clinical order or clinical visit (e.g., drive-up COVID test, Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) test, adult immunization at the pharmacy)

  • Data lag vs. real-time (especially for research use cases) - the difference in time for use cases.

    • The Reference Architecture defines trigger events and timing offsets in relationship to trigger events, and actions to be performed based on trigger events.

  • Data provenance (recognized authority - but how much do we trust the data from those systems outside of the EHR and the EHR ingests the data - and the detail of information and method of transmission (e.g., orally reported, substantiated with material or electronic)

    • The MedMorph Reference Architecture IG would recommend (or require in available) support for Provenance as defined by USCDI and apply to all data classes being reported.

  • Registries will capture what they are required to capture by state laws and standards setters, but research use cases might want to capture complications, etc. related to cancer.

    • Acknowledgment that state laws and standards can preempt/modify/exclude data that could occur in a content (use case) specific IG.

Terms and Definitions

Ambulatory Setting: Medical services performed on an outpatient basis, without admission to a hospital or other facility. It is provided in settings such as physician offices, hospital outpatient departments, ambulatory surgical centers, and clinics (including Community Health Centers). (adapted from https://www.ipfcc.org/)

Application Programming Interface (API): A computing interface which defines interactions between multiple software intermediaries.

Clinical Encounter: Any physical or virtual contact between a patient (or trial subject) and healthcare provider at which an assessment or activity takes place. (from https://ncit.nci.nih.gov/)

Electronic Health Record (EHR): A system used in care delivery for patients and captures and stores data about patients and makes the information available instantly and securely to authorized users. While an EHR does contain the medical and treatment histories of patients, an EHR system is built to go beyond standard clinical data collected in a provider’s provision of care location and can be inclusive of a broader view of a patient’s care. EHRs are a vital part of health IT and can:

  1. Contain a patient’s medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory and test results

  2. Allow access to evidence-based tools that providers can use to make decisions about a patient’s care

  3. Automate and streamline provider workflow

A FHIR Enabled EHR exposes FHIR APIs for other systems to interact with the EHR and exchange data. FHIR APIs provide well defined mechanisms to read and write data. The FHIR APIs are protected by an Authorization Server which authenticates and authorizes users or systems prior to accessing the data.

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) Specification: A standard for exchanging healthcare information electronically developed by Health Level Seven International (HL7).

Health Care Survey: Designed to answer key questions of interest to health care policy makers, public health professionals, and researchers. These can include the factors that influence the use of health care resources, the quality of health care, including safety, and disparities in health care services provided to population subgroups in the United States. (from )

HL7 FHIR Encounter Resource: An interaction between a patient and healthcare provider(s) for the purpose of providing healthcare service(s) or assessing the health status of a patient. (from http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/encounter.html)

Inpatient Setting:  Medical services involving a patient treated for a brief but severe episode of illness, for conditions that are the result of disease or trauma, and during recovery from surgery.

Public Health Authority (PHA): A government or a government designated organization that may receive the data from Trusted Third Parties or provider organizations using appropriate authorities and policies. PHA may also analyze the data and initiate responses back to clinical care. For more detailed information on PHA please refer to .

SMART on FHIR: Substitutable Medical Applications, Reusable Technologies on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource.

Use Case: Document used to capture user (actor) point of view while describing functional requirements of the system. They describe the step by step process a user goes through to complete that goal using a software system. A Use Case is a description of the ways an end-user wants to "use" a system. Use Cases capture ways the user and system can interact that result in the user achieving the goal. (adapted from https://www.visual-paradigm.com/)

User Story: A User Story is a note that captures what a user does or needs to do as part of his/her work. Each User Story consists of a short description written from user's point of view, with natural language. (adapted from https://www.visual-paradigm.com/)
