 * [|Provide feedback on the ToC Harmonization Process here!] **

Purpose
To review the requirements set forth in the Transition of Care Use Case, identify and review artifacts relevant to those requirements, and to perform an analysis to determine the data elements, metadata, and vocabularies needed to support those requirements. Based on that analysis, this Workgroup will propose a set of HIT standards which satisfy ToC Use Case requirements.

Scope
The scope of the tasks to be performed by this workgroup is bound by the ToC Use Case functional requirements and data set considerations. Our specific focus will be to analyze ToC Use Case requirements and evaluate current HIT standards and specifications ability to satisfy those requirements.

Objectives

 * ~ Short-Term || # Engage the Standards Development Organizations and former HITSP members in order to leverage prior efforts
 * 1) Complete an objective review of the current standards associated with Transitions of Care - those specified in the Final Rule, as well as other applicable standards
 * 2) Establish standards evaluation criteria
 * 3) Perform an analysis of ToC Use Case(s), identifying gaps and duplications in current standards along with mitigation strategies ||
 * ~ Long-Term || # Establish a information object (as opposed to purely document) centric approach to information exchange associated with Transitions of Care
 * 1) Review of the MU mandated documents, in conjunction with the CDA Consolidation project
 * 2) Propose a Harmonized set of ToC data elements, standards and specifications which support MU requirements ||
