Digital Bridge: Future Vision | Preliminary Survey Results

Nosipho Beaufort (Digital Bridge PMO)

Survey Overview

• The Digital Bridge Future Vision survey was developed to give an opportunity for
• rganizations across all sectors to provide input into the future direction of

Digital Bridge.

• Charlie Ishikawa and the Digital Bridge governance body co-chairs developed the

questions.

• The survey was administered via Survey Monkey September 9-27.
• Thirteen organizations completed the survey.

Ex officio Health Care Delivery Networks Health IT vendors Public health 3 1 5 4

Question 1

• Responses were fairly evenly

distributed overall.

• Health IT and ex-officio members

favored a focus on technical architecture, while public health and health care favored serving as a forum. Please select the response that best expresses the manner in which you, and the

• rganization you represent, believe Digital Bridge should promote bi-directional data

exchange.

Response choices Total responses

Identifying a selection of technical architectures to acquire healthcare data for public health use and deliver public health information to providers, patients, and citizens to improve health. 4 Promoting the eCR technical architecture, including informative responses from public health to healthcare providers. 3 Serving as a forum for Digital Bridge members and stakeholders to share ideas and collaborate on scalable solutions for data and information exchange. 4 Other 2

• Respondents across all sectors hope that the collaboration and engagement

across sectors continues.

• Health IT respondents hope for continued development of unified, standard

nationwide approaches.

• Public health respondents hope that Digital Bridge continues to provide a forum

to engage leaders, sustain partnerships and develop national strategies for data exchange.

Question 2

What is your biggest hope for Digital Bridge moving forward?

Question 3

• Respondents across all sectors expressed concerns about competing priorities

and that Digital Bridge will lose momentum.

• Several respondents shared concerns that a single focus on eCR or on the needs of
• ne sector could overshadow efforts to develop broader bi-directional data exchange

solutions.

• Health care and health IT respondents expressed concerns about competing

and/or duplicative standards when existing standards meet the need. What is your biggest fear for Digital Bridge moving forward?

Question 4

• Health care and public health respondents emphasized the importance of

setting Digital Bridge priorities and taking advantage of opportunities to promote Digital Bridge for other use cases.

• Health care and health IT respondents felt that eCR should be a foundation

for future use cases. Please share your questions, comments or concerns with regard to this strategic issue, including any elaboration of your response to question 3.

Key Takeaways

• All sectors support continued collaboration through Digital Bridge.
• Health IT and health care value continued support for standardized approaches

and the use of existing technical architecture as appropriate.

• Although all sectors hope eCR is successful, there is concern about focusing

solely on eCR to the exclusion of other use cases.
