• Barriers to EHR – Public Health interoperability
• EHDI interoperability capability maturity model

PHII’s Mission
To improve health outcomes worldwide by
transforming health practitioners’ ability to
apply information effectively.
We do:
• Business process analysis, systems
requirements
• Evaluations, recommendations
• Training

Early Hearing Detection & Intervention
(EHDI)
• Goal: promote children’s communication and
development from birth by detecting hearing
loss and intervening.
• Universal Newborn Hearing Screening:
– 1989: ~3% ; 2011: >98%
– Hearing loss prevalence: 1.5 per 1000 screened
– Of those screened, 35% LTF/LTD
• Providers often lack EHDI knowledge, skills

Don’t
understand
IHE, HL7
stuff
Agency
priorities
are MU,
not EHDI
Reciprocal
trust, value
So Why Are We
Not
Interoperable
Doing
well
enough,
why
bother
???
Don’t have
the staff
Not using
EHRs,
EHDI-IS

Use evaluation results to improve
Evaluation of procedures, processes
Routine processes, documented procedures;
Established governance, policies
Repeat early successes;
Begin to establish processes
Isolated, ad-hoc efforts;
Individual heroics
No awareness or efforts

Workflow
Can the EHDI
program
identify all
live birth
events in its
jurisdiction?
Level 5
Optimized
Use of evaluation findings to improve
live birth event identification process.
Level 4
Measured
Evaluation of automated live birth event
identification process.
Level 3
Defined
Automated approaches;
Consistently good results;
Few unresolved duplicate birth events.
Level 2
Managed
Combine manual, automated
approaches; Inconsistent results;
Some unresolved duplicates.
Level 1
Initial
Manual;
Inconsistent results;
Many unresolved duplicate birth events.
Level 0
None
Unable to conduct these activities.
PHII.org
Policies
Does your
agency have
a governance
process that
guides IT
projects?
Level 5
Optimized
Agency uses evaluation findings to improve
governance of information systems
development.
Level 4
Measured
Agency has established such a governance
process and evaluates how well it guides IT
projects towards agency objectives.
Level 3
Defined
Level 2
Managed
Agency has established such a
governance process and exercises it
regularly.
Agency has made sustained attempts
at governing information system
projects.
Level 1
Initial
Agency has made isolated, ad-hoc
efforts to govern information
systems projects.
Level 0
None
No such governance structure.

Benefits to EHDI Program
• Better understanding of current interoperability
readiness
• Evidence for additional resources
• More collaboration between EHDI, IT, agency
leadership
• More informed national strategy for capacity
building
