Goal is to build consensus among leaders in public health towards formalizing a vision for a standard representation of public health work processes for the electronic health information exchanges with clinical care, i.e. functional requirements specifications.

Meeting Objectives

1. Share experiences in building health information exchanges in panelists’ jurisdictions to date
2. Discuss national initiatives on the development of functional standards in health information exchanges
3. Discuss the functional specifications for health information exchanges on school health and on syndromic surveillance in New York City as prototypes of functional requirements specifications
4. Develop recommendations for the roadmap on developing functional requirements on health information exchanges between clinical care and public health
