Sharing the Data between Electronic Health Record (EHR) Systems in Dental Practices
BPM+ Health APE Homepage
WHO ARE WE?
Graduate students from Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM) working towards our Master of Science in Health Informatics and Analytics.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The focus of this capstone project will be to address the challenges that dental providers face when reaching a consensus on what information/patient data is necessary for data exchange, transfer, sharing, and referrals 1 . The current methods for data sharing (i.e. paper and email) are not always sustainable and accurate. Thus, we are proposing an approach for standardization of clinical pathways (workflow) and data to be exchanged (data flow) using health information technology [dental Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems, telehealth, and mobile applications].
This project will be based on the use cases developed by the SCDI WG 11.6.
The following use cases will be analyzed in this project based on the standardized functional requirements (functional standards), and process and data modeling using BPM+ Health modeling standards:
ADA/AAO Orthodontic Referral Use Case will be used as an example for data exchange between General Dentists and Orthodontists (providers)
Future ADA/AAO Use Cases grouping and standardization
