HLN Participates in HIMSS18 Interoperability Showcase
During the week of March 5 HLN participated along with other public health colleagues in the HIMSS18
Interoperability Showcase
which features real-life demonstrations of health information interoperability. The
Public Health Reporting
use case included HLN’s Open Source Reportable Conditions Knowledge Management System (
RCKMS
) which is being deployed nationally in conjunction with CDC,the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL). RCKMS provides the clinical decision support component for
electronic case reporting
, allowing an EHR system to send clinical information to a centralized web service and receive a response indicating whether the patient’s clinical data needs to be reported to public health, and if so to which agencies and through what mechanism.
