- VA has vast experience sharing clinical data, warts and all
- Veterans Choice Act and MISSION Act mandates robust data
exchange at ever increasing scale and scope
- Meaningful Use Standards and other policies promoting
interoperability are helpful but not completely sufficient
Have We Achieved Data Interoperability at the Point of Care?
We want to expand the use and usability of exchanged data.

Solor: An Open-Source Ecosystem
Solor is an open-source ecosystem that brings together data-encoding standards with an extensible, single model to help health care
- rganizations avoid errors in the
interpretation of clinical data.
Solor awarded the FedHealthIT 2018 Innovation Award
June 2018
HSPC highlighted Solor as mission critical at the HSPC 17th General Meeting
July 2018
- Dr. Keith Campbell
selected for the OSEHRA Lifetime Achievement Award
July 2018

If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.

Why Do We Care About Data in Health Care?
7
Improve the quality and safety of health-care Measure the cost and quality of services Integrate multiple providers across organizations in a continuum of care Integrate high-quality decision support into the clinical workflow across the continuum of care
The Promise of Health IT
The Promise of Health IT Depends on Interoperability

The Promise of Health IT
Improve the quality and safety of health-care Measure the cost and quality of services Integrate multiple providers across organizations in a continuum of care Integrate high-quality decision support into the clinical workflow across the continuum of care
Encoded data is the foundation needed to deliver The Promise!

Types of Interoperability1
- Foundational
– Data exchange from one system to another
- Structural
– The syntax of the data exchange at the data format/field level
- Semantic
- The exchange of information in a way that the receiving
system can interpret the data

Overlap in Content
11
Enabling Semantic Interoperability
Standardize the Standards
- Standardize the encoded data model
- Standardize the extension model
Meet Operational Needs
- Enable sharing of extensions
– Open-extensions – Proprietary-extensions
- Lowers costs by contributing local extensions to standards
Evolve Existing Systems
- Transforms SNOMED CT, LOINC, RxNorm, and others
12
What is Solor?
Integration of terminology in a common model
13
Solor is a Way to Transition
“Interoperability of Today” Interoperability of the Future
- Big bang switch won’t work
- Need to support current systems while
evolving to native interoperability
14
Simplifies Systems
By simplifying content management, Solor makes:
- Implementation easier for business owners and safer for patients
- Management of change easier for business owners and safer for
patients
15
Knowledge Management Environment
- We are currently developing a knowledge management environment
that could potentially be used to integrate FDA LIVD specifications
