Phase I: Data Standards Working Group
During Phase I Connecting for Health produced successful results that serve as the foundation for its current work. There were three Working Groups: the Data Standards Working Group, the Privacy and Security Working Group, and the Personal Health Working Group.
The Data Standards Working Group focused on:
- Identifying and causing to be created the necessary common standards and definitions to enable the movement of data and knowledge within health care
- Identifying those standards and definitions that are "operable" or "ready to move into adoption."
- Accelerating health system interoperability through the alignment of critical stakeholder data needs to those operable standards.
- Demonstrating an electronic standards-based model of data transmission and exchange.

The group was chaired by W. Edward Hammond, Ph.D., President of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), Vice-Chair of the Technical Steering Committee of HL7, and Professor Emeritus, School of Medicine at Duke University and Pratt School of Engineering.
J. Marc Overhage, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine and Investigator, Regenstrief Institute served as Vice-Chair for the Working Group.
The group had three committees:
Consensus Committee (W. Edward Hammond, Ph.D., chair)
Specific Goals:
- Identifying or articulating the necessary steps to create the necessary common standards and definitions to enable the movement of data and knowledge within health care
- Evaluating standards against a clearly-defined set of criteria to identify those standards and definitions that are "operable" or "ready to move into adoption"
Implementation Committee (J. Marc Overhage, M.D., PhD, chair)
Specific Goals:
- Accelerating health system interoperability through the alignment of critical stakeholder data needs to those operable standards by:
- Identifying "common ground" amongst the various users of data within the health care system
- Developing a cross-walk of priority data needs (the 20% of the data that will provide the 80% of data needs) to operable standards
- Assessing the availability of such priority data in electronic forms
- Demonstrating an electronic standards-based model of data flow between priority "data consumers" and "data producers" to build momentum, demonstrate feasibility, and confirm value.
Policy Committee (Ned McCulloch, JD, chair)
Specific Goals:
- Accelerating health system interoperability through the alignment of critical stakeholder data needs to those operable standards, by:
- Articulating how value will be derived from the use of electronic data in standardized formats (the value proposition).
- Identifying, evaluating and recommending actions that would accelerate standards adoption and health system interoperability.
