3a. Project Scope

With cooperation from CDC and Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) software vendors, this project will develop Normative Release 4 of the HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA® Release 2: Healthcare Associated Infection Reports. The implementation guide will continue to support electronic submission of HAI data to the National Healthcare Safety Network.

It is the intent of this project to incrementally move to Release 4 of the IG via a series of new DSTU releases, each with incremental changes in scope over time as well as the planned introduction of at least one new HAI Report. Potential incremental changes include but are not limited to:
• Addition or deletion of data elements for existing HAI reports
• Further alignment of existing HAI IG templates with C-CDA templates

One likely major change for Normative Release 4 is the inclusion of a new HAI CDA report
• Inclusion of COVID-19 data

Continue to develop a FHIR Implementation Guide in parallel with the CDA Implementation Guide. This new standard will include several STU releases on the path to a Normative Release 1 of the HL7 Implementation Guide for FHIR Release 4: Healthcare Associated Infection Reports. This PSS likely will not see a Normative release of the FHIR IG. The FHIR and CDA implementation guides will be aligned (i.e. if there is a change made in one product, that change will need to be made in the other product). The approach will primarily use the Questionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse resources (note: these resources will not go normative in FHIR R4), though other resources will be used as needed.

CDC is providing NHSN developers, vocabulary experts and CDA experts to support this project. SDWG will devote committee time to review the design and draft specification before ballot, as well as to support ballot reconciliation.

3b. Project Need

The CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) is being used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and 30 states plus the District of Columbia as the technical infrastructure by which they obtain healthcare-associated infection and quality measure data. Currently, more than 12,000 facilities are reporting data into NHSN. This project revises existing reports and adds new ones to collect data that are relevant to CDC’s surveillance plan.
