By DON KEMPER

Regardless of the U.S. administration’s “meaningful use” requirements, if health information technology (HIT) is to become meaningful for patients, it must include the prescription of information and tools to help each patient better manage his or her own care.

Ask patients what they want from HIT systems, and they will tell you three things:

- “Tell me my diagnosis, what will happen, and what I can do myself to better manage the problem.”

- “Tell me my medical tests results and what they mean to me.”

- “Tell me my treatment options, and help me participate in the treatment decisions.”

The soon-to-be-finalized HL7 International Context-Aware Information Retrieval standard (nicknamed the HL7 “Infobutton” standard) makes it far easier for providers of electronic health records (EHRs) and personal health records (PHRs) to deliver just what the patient wants. And that is what will put the meaning into meaningful.

Using the HL7 Infobutton Standard for Information Prescriptions

The HL7 Infobutton standard has been widely adopted since 2007. It facilitates the delivery of a set of standardized information about the patient, the provider, and the activity of a specific care encounter or moment in care. An Infobutton manager (or equivalent) accessed by an EHR application can then pull from that set the information it needs for any relevant use case. In most cases the Infobutton has been used to bring up decision support information for the clinician.

This same HL7 standard can also be used to trigger relevant, helpful patient education orders or “information prescriptions”—for the patient. While the knowledge request can be triggered by the click of a button, the button click is not always necessary. The information prescriptions can be automatically generated, based on the context of the patient’s particular moment in care, for presentation in a handout or secure message, or on the personal health record (PHR).

In an EHR, a clinician triggers a knowledge request to a content provider. (A knowledge request differs from a query, because it returns tailored, targeted, and relevant information instead of the overabundance of documents with varying degrees of relevance that a standard query might deliver.) The content provider responds with a list of patient information prescriptions appropriate for that patient and that specific care encounter.

In the PHR, the request can be launched by the patient or automatically triggered by a scheduled appointment, a preventive service that is due, a medical test report, or any other clinical event. The content provider responds with relevant Web-based consumer health content.

By having both synchronous and asynchronous triggers, systems can generate relevant, helpful information at every point in the health care continuum. In all cases, the knowledge request and response protocols are defined by the HL7 Infobutton standard. This minimizes development effort and provides a single consumer content integration solution for both HIT developers and content providers.
