Hospital Availability Exchange Message

["Catherine Plummer" <Catherine.Plummer@search.org>]

I have attached a document object model that represents the review of the HAVE model by a group of subject matter experts participating in a National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) Information Exchange Package Documentation (IEPD) focus group in Washington, DC during the week of January 15, 2007.  The focus group recommended the following revision of the data classes and attributes:

 

1.      Hospital Facility Status: change “Clinical Status” attribute to “Clinical Operations”

2.      Hospital Facility Status: change “EOC Status” attribute to “HCC Status” (Hospital Coordinating Center Status)

3.      Move Morgue Capacity attribute and Decon Capacity attribute from Hospital Facility Status to the Hospital Clinical Status class

4.      Add “Surge Capacity” to Hospital Clinical Status Class, as a description of Bed Capacity

 

Please also note that because the focus group did not incorporate the Distribution Element as part of the Hospital Availability Exchange Message being defined as part of the IEPD, that sender information, including the role of the organization (e.g., healthcare provider, temporary morgue services, daycare, etc.), basic organizational information, ancillary facilities and location, is also represented in the Hospital Availability Exchange Message model, attached hereto.

 

We hope that the focus group’s review and comments may be helpful to the emergency management technical committee’s work.  Please feel free to contact the undersigned for further information.  

 

Sincerely,
