Obtaining a CPT Sublicense from HL7

Contact hq@hl7.org about how to obtain a sublicense from HL7 for non-production use of CPT for (i) the development and publication of value sets, profiles, and other artifacts as part of the HL7 Implementation Guides, (ii) as part of defined VSAC value sets, and (iii) to support HL7's terminology services within the Territory.

Flow Down Clauses for CPT Sublicense from HL7

CPT content is copyrighted by the American Medical Association and CPT is a registered trademark of the AMA.

HL7, as a party to a license agreement with the AMA, is authorized to grant user a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license for user to use CPT content for (i) the development and publication of value sets, profiles, and other artifacts as part of the HL7 Implementation Guides, (ii) as part of defined VSAC value sets, and (iii) to support HL7's terminology services within the Territory, each of which shall be considered a non-production use. The sublicense granted hereunder shall automatically terminate upon termination of the agreement between HL7 and AMA, unless prior written consent of AMA is obtained.

The provision of updated CPT content is dependent on a continuing contractual relationship between HL7 and the AMA.

User acknowledge a separate license agreement shall be required, and shall govern any proposed use, including any distribution of CPT content for any other purposes not expressly permitted under this Agreement, and the terms of such agreement will govern such use (e.g., a separate license agreement shall govern production use and commercial purposes). AMA reserves the right to accept or reject licenses based on AMA's evaluation of the proposed use of the CPT content.

User acknowledge that User's development and commercialization of CPT-informed works developed with reference to Licensed Products may only be implemented in the Territory.

User is prohibited from making CPT content publicly available, creating derivative works (including translating), transferring, selling, leasing, licensing, or otherwise making available to any unauthorized party the CPT content, or a copy or portion of CPT content to any unauthorized party, including a subsidiary, affiliate, or other legal entity, however designated, for any purpose whatsoever except as expressly permitted under a separate agreement.

User expressly acknowledges and agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law, use of CPT content is at User's sole risk and CPT content is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The AMA does not directly or indirectly practice medicine or dispense medical services. Fee schedules, relative value units, conversion factors and/or related components are not assigned by the AMA, are not part of CPT, and the AMA is not recommending their use. CPT content herein does not replace the AMA's Current Procedural Terminology book or other appropriate coding authority. The coding information contained in CPT content should be used only as a guide.

U.S. Government End Users. CPT is commercial technical data, which was developed exclusively at private expense by the American Medical Association (AMA), 330 North Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611. This agreement does not grant the Federal Government a direct license to use CPT based on FAR 52.227- 14 (Data Rights - General) and DFARS 252.227-7015 (Technical Data - Commercial Items).

User expressly consents to the release of its name to the AMA.

Introduction

Purpose

The goal of this Implementation Guide is to identify the required clinical data with associated vocabulary bindings and value sets for patient summary, in the context of specific use cases, and to build an international document and associated templates based on HL7 CDA R2 (or a future CDA release) and potentially the FHIR standards, with value sets to support data elements within those templates. The initial use cases will be the patient summary, providing support for emergency care and unplanned care.

These templates/profiles aim to:

  • Serve for both cross-jurisdictional (through adaptation/extension for multi-language and realm scenarios, including translation) and national (through localization) patient summaries.
  • Support emergency care and unplanned care in any country (home and foreign), regardless of language
  • Define value sets based on international vocabularies that are usable and understandable in any country

The deliverable(s) will address the requirements of an international patient summary:

  • For the exchange of structured and coded information (section headings, entries)
  • For administrative data in order to support content commitment, audit/logging/provenance

The Implementation Guide will receive input from the EHR WG regarding the specification of functional requirements on patient summaries.

This includes a compilation of the required clinical data, based on results of multiple previous projects on patient summaries (including but not limited to epSOS, ONC, Trillium Bridge, eHealth Exchange), rules and recommendations for the use and maintenance of associated vocabulary bindings and value sets (in multilingual settings), and templates for the implementation of international patient summary documents.

Therefore this Implementation Guide has its primary focus on provisions for semantic interoperability.

Templates/profiles should take in consideration, where applicable, legal, organizational, security and infrastructure requirements based on experiences of pilot implementations (Trillium Bridge).

The white paper on Comparative Analysis Between HL7 C-CDA R1.1 CCD and epSoS PS v1.4 will inform the development of the harmonized template and associated value sets.

Background

In 2010 a MoU was signed between EU and US to strengthen global cooperation in eHealth/Health. As a result, the ONC S&I “Interoperability of EHR” work group was launched in US in 2013 (http://wiki.siframework.org/EU-US+eHealth+Cooperation+Initiative) and the Trillium Bridge Project (www.trilliumbridge.eu) in Europe to compare the CDA templates specified at that time in Europe (epSOS PS V1.4) and in US (MU – C-CDA CCD v1.1) for Patient Summaries (PSs) and to build a Trans-Atlantic exchange proof of concept. Both initiatives resulted identifying the need for a common template and vocabularies for the Patient Summary, in particular the following recommendation was offered and endorsed by all members of the Joint Initiative Council and by the HL7 International Council: “to advance an International Patient Summary (IPS) standard and enable people to access and share their health information for emergency or unplanned care anywhere and as needed. At minimum the IPS should include immunizations, allergies, medications, clinical problems, past operations and implants.”

Meanwhile

  • A new version of the EU/US MOU Transatlantic eHealth/health IT Cooperation Roadmap entered consultation in November 2015 , ;
  • (US) a Shared Nationwide interoperability roadmap was published in November 2015 ;
  • The Joint Initiative Council (JIC) on SDO Global Health Informatics Standardization, initiated the standard sets project with patient summary as its pilot ;
  • A maintenance process for the European Patient Summary Guidelines is in progress (expected release on Nov 2016);
  • The European eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure (project for the operational deployment of the EU cross-borders services) has been launched (2016-2018)
  • ART-DECOR® and the HL7 DSTU (now STU) template exchange format are being more and more used by European countries, including for the European Patient Summary templates (aka epSOS PS template). ART DECOR is also connected to the IHE

Design conventions and principles

How to use terminology (preferred binding)

Notion of "Primary Code"

Usage of translations

Principle on negations and data known absent

  • Usage of negations
  • The choice for negation it is not that of using negation indicator @negationInd but rely on the terminologies to do this
  • To do: add a description in the introduction
  • @negationInd in CDA has been superseded in V3 later by two other negation indicators: actNegationInd valueNegationInd
  • Alignment with FHIR

Conformance clause

Different conformance levels (to be explored)

Functional requirements and high-level use cases

  • Add a reference to the CEN prEN. (to be analyzed)
  • PSS
  • Add a reference to the data set included in the html package
  • Include in the functional area that no assumption on transport has been made…
  • PS comes from one source, and covers different cases.
  • Specify, how the provenance could be managed without going into details) to be included in next versions.
  • To be further discussed, in any case add a paragraph in which explain the problem and how it might be faced.
