include component="page" wikiName="siframework" page="LRI Header" The reference material link provides examples of Clinical Information Models that can be potentially leveraged and re-used as applicable for the Lab Results Initiative.

A Clinical Information Model is a conceptual definition of the discrete structured clinical information that is used in a clinical context. The model defines the data elements, attributes, possible values and types of attributes that are needed to convey the clinical reality in a fashion that is understandable to both clinical domain experts and modelers. These models have the potential for being used as part of electronic health information exchange including EMR's, EHR's, Telehealth applications, medical devices, analytics, decision support among others.

There has been significant work done by various organizations and individuals on Clinical Information Models. The links below provide an easy mechanism for the community to access and familiarize themselves with some of these models, in preparation for discussions among the working group.

The National E-Health Transition Authority Limited (known as NEHTA []) was established by the Australian, State and Territory governments to develop better ways of electronically collecting and securely exchanging health information. NEHTA is actively engaging with the healthcare community to develop computable clinical content definitions known as Detailed Clinical Models (DCMs). Each Detailed Clinical Model is inclusive of all data attributes and potentially terminology bindings that are useful to describe a single, discrete clinical concept for use in a broad range of clinical scenarios. Examples of DCMs include: Problem/Diagnosis, Adverse Reaction, Medication order, Blood Pressure measurement, and a symptom. The following link will allow the community to browse the Clinical Knowledge Manager [] to look at the various existing content that has been developed and could potentially be used for the LRI Initiative.

2. **Federal Health Information Models (FHIM):** The FHIM working group (consists of many of the Federal Agencies) has one main goal of achieving whole health interoperability. In order to achieve this goal the working group is developing information models, terminology models, security and privacy frameworks, information exchange frameworks along with other aspects required. The information models that have been developed can be accessed at : [|**https://www.projects.openhealthtools.org/sf/projects/fhims/**]







The Clinical Element Models have been developed by GE and Intermountain Healthcare to help move the industry towards computable models. Dr Stan Huff has been one of the primary contributors to these models. These can be browsed at [] after agreeing to the license agreement. The manuals attached below called as CEDatatypes and CEReference serve as background information to understand these models.
