Common use of Management Summary Clause in Contracts

Management Summary. In the Netherlands there is a growing need for patient related information to be available at the right time at the right place, centered around the individual patient care and crossing the boundaries of single healthcare organizations. Many secondary and tertiary healthcare organizations participate in a “health information exchange” infrastructure. These infrastructures vary as either healthcare organizations are part of an (shared) HIE infrastructure provided by a regional health information exchange organisation, have implemented an exchange infrastructure for themselves, or have adopted a vendor specific exchange solution. Although health information is often successfully exchanged within a health information exchange system there is a commonly felt challenge when the information exchange needs to cross the boundaries of a single health information exchange network or system. Printed copies are uncontrolled unless authenticated To address these challenges the Dutch national compentence center for electronic exchange of health and care information, Nictiz promotes a modified version1 of the European Interoperability Framework2 that identifies six “layers” of interoperability. Each layer representing an area or domain parties that exchange information have to agree on. This document is the result of a multi-vendor3 initiative under the supervision of the “VNO/NCW Taskforcare Samen Vooruit”. It details the “infrastructure” and “application” layers of the Nictiz Interoperability Model. This document neither claims to provide all answers to the challenges associated with health information exchange, nor does it deny the fact that there are alternatives to achieve the same goal. This document does specify the roles and responsibilities a system has that choses to adopt the IHE Cross-Community Access (XCA) and Cross-Community Access - Images (XCA-I) profiles to exchange health information with another system regardless whether these systems are of the same or different vendors. 1 ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/rapporten/electronic-infromation-for-health-and-care-services/ 2 ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/isa2/eif_en 3 Epic, Chipsoft, Nexus-Nederland, Agfa, Enovation, Philips
