HEALTH Information Exchange PROJECTS
VHA is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the IZ Gateway to establish immunization data exchange at the national level with state Immunization Information Systems (IIS). IISs are confidential, state computerized databases that record immunization doses administered. For this project, we are establishing automated electronic exchange that will include near real-time reporting of VA-administered vaccinations and querying of immunization data from the state IIS. We support the VA Office of Public Health Business Owner with strategy development, managing state data sharing agreements, policy development, stakeholder communications, and connecting to state registries via the CDC's IZ Gateway for bi-directional exchange of VHA immunization data.
VHIE PROGRAM OFFICE SUPPORT
As part of our comprehensive support, JPSys contributed to a range of mission-critical initiatives that underpin the modern VHIE ecosystem which extends to community partners and Oracle Health.
VHIE Support Transition
Team JPSys played a pivotal role in leading the strategic and technical efforts required to transition the Veterans Health Information Exchange (VHIE) from its legacy health information exchange (HIE) adapter system to more modern, scalable, and interoperable platforms. This transition included migration to the Veterans Data Integration and Federal Enterprise Platform (VDIF-EP) and integration with the Department of Defense/Veterans Affairs Joint Health Information Exchange (DoD/VA JHIE). This move marked a major improvement in how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) shares health information. It enhanced care quality, data access, and timeliness by enabling seamless, secure exchanges with both federal and private-sector partners.
For over 12 years at the ONC, we led the modeling efforts of the Federal Health Information Model for (FHIM). This federal healthcare it project developed a comprehensive information model with 39 healthcare domains. The model can be seen on our website FHIMS.org. The model also binds standard reference terminologies for accuracy.
Veteran's Health Information Exchange Network System Performance and Traffic Analysis
System Performance:
J P Systems supports the VHIE office, the Joint DoD Health Information Exchange, and VA Community Care healthcare providers. VHA’s external healthcare partners actively exchange Veteran health data with VHA, DHA, and Oracle Health platforms. Our team analyzes Oracle Health data to evaluate query performance and measure patient data transmission speed and accuracy. The end goal is to identify performance issues that violate our client's contract requirements.
For JHIE, we monitor network traffic and identify bottlenecks and delays that hinder data exchange. Our network analysts perform root cause analysis recommend targeted improvements to boost system efficiency. Next we engage the internal and external clinical data exchange partners and EHR vendors to resolve the delays and bottlenecks. The JPSys team reports the improved response times to demonstrate the improved network transmission times to better comply with contractual requirements. Our User Acceptance Testing (UAT) Team conducts and verifies the accuracy of reported transaction response times.
