Looking at the requirements for this specification, I've identified the cases where Capability 119 applies.
Capability | IER | Description |
---|---|---|
119 | 1 | Provide authorization and consent |
119 | 11 | Identify provider based on patient preference |
119 | 13 | Send/receive notification of document availability |
14 | Send/Receive health plan eligibility | |
15 | Send/Receive health plan authorization | |
119 | 16 | Send/Receive clinical summary |
119 | 17 | Send/Receive transfer of care data |
119 | 22 | Send/Receive additional patient information |
119 | 25 | Send/Receive decision support data |
119 | 28 | Download historical health data |
119 | 37 | Update medication information |
43 | Send/Receive accept patient | |
119 | 45 | Send/Receive consult results report |
57 | Identify provider based on health plan | |
119 | 60 | Send/Receive discharge summary |
119 | 62 | Send/Receive encounter or full episode of care record |
119 | 63 | Request additional patient data |
119 | 64 | Send/Receive consult request/data |
As you can see from the table above, capability 119 is quite a useful tool (in this case, it's not a hammer, but a leatherman).
The Care Management and Health Records committee recently updated this Capabilty in response to the Clinical Notes Extension delivered to HITSP by ONC.
I won't go into all the gory details, but in short, what Capability 119 requires is the exchange of clinical documents conforming the HL7 CDA Specification, using sections and entries conforming to the HITSP C83 CDA Modules specification (which relies heavily on C32 and the HL7 Continutity of Care Document). ThC83 specification will be updated in the next public comment cycle following the one that is about to start.
We leave it up to the Interoperability specifications to further constrain the capability to a specific type of clinical document if need be (e.g., to allow the Consumer Empowerment IS to specify the use of the HITSP C32 Summary Documents using CCD).
I have to say that this capability stuff, as difficult as it
