The California Regional Health Information Organization (CalRHIO) has released a list of recommended data standards aimed at helping healthcare organizations in California share patient information.
The data standards roadmap is intended to provide a guide for California healthcare organizations as they purchase new or upgrade current health information technology, according to CalRHIO.
The roadmap, approved by CalRHIO's Technology Working Group, illustrates the current data standard in use and the standard expected to be in use by 2010.
Nine healthcare information technology areas are addressed in the roadmap: administration and finance, allergies, clinical documentation, imaging, immunization, laboratory, medication, services, and vocabulary.
