Patient Matching Algorithm Challenge
Last week at Health Datapalooza, ONC announced the upcoming Patient Matching Algorithm Challenge. Patient matching, the techniques used to match your data held by multiple health care providers, is a key element to achieving interoperability, yet little is known about the ability of the patient matching algorithm used to link patient records. The latest ONC blog post, Demystifying Patient Matching Algorithms, should help you learn a little more about the challenge and patient matching.
If you are interested in learning even more about the challenge, you should sign up for one of three informational webinars we will be hosting in May before the launch in June. For more information, visit the Patient Matching Algorithm Challenge Website.Last week at Health Datapalooza, ONC announced the upcoming Patient Matching Algorithm Challenge.

Certification Update: Identifiable Surveillance
The Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL) now reports all “identifiable surveillance” of the Certified Health IT Products. Under the Enhanced Oversight and Accountability final rule, all identifiable surveillance results, those results where no non-conformities are determined, must be publically available on the CHPL on a quarterly basis. The goal of this reporting is to help you access surveillance results. Results where non-conformities are determined will still be updated weekly as required. View the surveillance results either on a products details page, where surveillance has occurred, or through a downloadable file located on the CHPL [CSV].

Proposed Interoperability Standards Measurement Framework Open for Public Comment
ONC is now accepting public comments on the Proposed Interoperability Standards Measurement Framework. We are looking for feedback on a proposed industry-wide measurement framework for assessing the implementation and use of health care interoperability standards and implementation specifications. Currently, the capabilities to measure and report on the use of standards vary significantly across the health IT ecosystem. This framework aims to help health IT developers, health information exchange organizations, and health care providers move towards a set of uniform measures to assess interoperability progress. Learn more by reading the latest ONC blog post Wanted: Feedback on Ways to Measure the Implementation and Use of Interoperability Standards.
Public comments on the Proposed Interoperability Standards Measurement Framework will be accepted until 5pm ET on Monday, July 31, 2017. Please note that comments and recommendations submitted as part of this process will be made public by ONC.ONC is now accepting public comments on the Proposed Interoperability Standards Measurement Framework.

Direct Exchange Workshop
ONC will host a Direct Exchange Workshop focusing on the adoption and use of the Direct specification to improve health IT interoperability. This one-day, in-person event will highlight a variety of efforts and resources from across the stakeholder community that uses Direct, including DirectTrust, NATE, federal agencies, and more. Attendees will focus on optimizing patient and provider experiences using Direct, emerging testing tools for developers, a variety of industry updates, and highlighting innovative uses of Direct.
