Patient-specific education resources (MU2)
From OpenEMR Project Wiki
Overview
MU Requirements
Per ONC
- Taken from ONC Final Rule
(15) Patient-specific education resources. EHR technology must be able to electronically identify for a user patient-specific education resources based on data included in the patient's problem list, medication list, and laboratory tests and values/results: (i) In accordance with the standard specified at § 170.204(b) and the implementation specifications at § 170.204(b)(1) or (2); and (ii) By any means other than the method specified in paragraph (a)(15)(i) of this section.
Below is 170.204(b): (b) Reference source. Standard. HL7 Version 3 Standard: Context-Aware Retrieval Application (Infobutton) (incorporated by reference in § 170.299). (1) Implementation specifications. HL7 Version 3 Implementation Guide: URL-Based Implementations of the Context-Aware Information Retrieval (Infobutton) Domain, (incorporated by reference in § 170.299). (2) Implementation specifications. HL7 Version 3 Implementation Guide: Context-Aware Knowledge Retrieval (Infobutton) Service-Oriented Architecture Implementation Guide, (incorporated by reference in § 170.299).
Below is from pertinent parts of 170.299: (5) HL7 Version 3 Standard: Context-Aware Retrieval Application (Infobutton); Release 1, July 2010, IBR approved for § 170.204. (6) HL7 Version 3 Implementation Guide: URL-Based Implementations of the Context- Aware Information Retrieval (Infobutton) Domain, Release 3, December 2010, IBR approved for § 170.204. (7) HL7 Version 3 Implementation Guide: Context-Aware Knowledge Retrieval (Infobutton) Service-Oriented Architecture Implementation Guide, Release 1, HL7 Draft Standard for Trial Use, March 2011, IBR approved for § 170.204.
Status
- Wording appears to be very similar to 2011 ONC guidelines, except for all of the "Infobutton" stuff. So will likely need to await the testing scripts to see if any additional improvements will be required to pass this criteria for 2014 ONC.
Proposal
- This appears to be a nice free tool to acquire patient-specific education automatically based on diagnosis, meds, labs etc. Should even be able to work this into the patient portal.
