Presentation on the ONC SDOH Technical Integration Framework

In support of advancing social determinants of health-related (SDOH) terminology and data standards, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) with support from contractor, EMI Advisors, is developing a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Technical Integration Framework.

The SDOH Technical Integration Framework will support developers and implementers of social care technical systems by providing step-by-step guidance for successful project execution, management, and communications. EMI will present a high-level overview of the draft framework outline at the HL7 HSS WG meeting on April 13th with a request to submit your written feedback on the SDOH Framework to Sara Behal (sara.behal@emiadvisors.net) by April 20th. Please label specific (sub)steps your feedback corresponds to.

In preparation, please review a comprehensive version of the draft framework outline attached. A more concise version of this outline will be shared during the meeting. This presentation is an early draft framework outline and should not be distributed.
