Building a Cross-Specialty Standard Health Record: The Experience of CardX, the Cardiovascular Domain of the CodeX FHIR Accelerator

Presentation Time: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Abstract Keywords: Interoperability and Health Information Exchange, Data Standards, Data Sharing, Controlled Terminologies, Ontologies, and Vocabularies, Mobile Health
Primary Track: Applications
Programmatic Theme: Clinical Informatics
Moderator: Adam Kroetsch, MS

The CodeX FHIR Accelerator and its CardX cardiovascular domain have made great strides towards standardizing clinical data to support better patient care and research. During this panel, members of the CardX community will discuss their efforts to build common cardiovascular lexicon called mCARD, modeled after the mCODE cancer lexicon and advance cardiovascular interoperability through the CardX community. They will share lessons they have learned from this experience, and discuss opportunities to apply those lessons to other clinical specialties. The panel will also discuss a forthcoming “playbook” for the development of clinical specialty data standards, and preview key themes and concepts from this playbook.

Panelists will also discuss how the work done under CodeX and CardX helps enable a broader vision for a “standard health record”: a computable, clinically applicable, set of health information available in every electronic health record for every person.
