NIEM is a federal, state, local, tribal and private initiative to increase information sharing between organizations. NIEM includes a data model from which organizations can establish information sharing specifications.
NIEM adoption leads to cost avoidance, enhanced mission capabilities and low total cost of ownership.
Why NIEM?
ProblemLack of standards leads to a decreased level of information sharing and increased costs associated with information exchange development.
Solution The National Information Exchange Model (NIEM)
Across organizational and jurisdictional boundariesAt all levels of government
Agreed-upon terms, definitions, and formats for various business conceptsAgreed-upon rules for how those concepts fit togetherIndependence from how information is stored in individual agency systems
A Standard that facilitates information sharing:
A Data model that provides:
What NIEM Is…
Development tools, processes, and methodologies
A Structured Approach that provides:
Includes many other communities at all levels of government
Only applicable to the Federal government
A database schema
What NIEM Is Not…
NIEM is a technical solution; the policy and business issues must also be worked out
A replacement for interagency agreements
Just a data dictionary
A programming language
The NIEM Framework and Process
Support Framework
Technical Framework
The NIEM FrameworkNIEM connects communities of people who share a common need to exchange information
in order to advance their missions, and provides a foundation for seamless information exchange between federal, state, local, and tribal agencies. Much more than a data model,
NIEM offers an active user community as well as a technical and support framework.

Scope-of-NIEM
NIEM intentionally does not address standardizing data inside legacy systems. NIEM serves as a translation layer (providing a common understanding) between and across disparate systems.

Common Vocabulary and Extensibility - NIEM (XML)Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) –OASIS Framework and Global Reference Architecture (GRA)Federated Identity/Privilege Management
Unifying the SBI Architecture
The formalization of NIEM as a standard enables:
Value Proposition - Standardization
NIEM Practitioners can leverage information sharing practitioners
to decrease development time for exchanges and increase
conformance
Repeatable approach that decreases the inconsistencies and duration of development
Community of Support Structured Approach
Value to Organizations: A larger community working with and developing agreed upon semantics combined with a structured approach can increase data compatibility between agencies, cost avoidance by building reusability of exchanges, and ease the development of information exchanges.
NIEM facilitates interoperability through the use of:
Value Proposition - Interoperability
Eliminates confusion by providing consistency of data definitions
between agencies
NIEM does not dictate how agencies’ systems are
implemented, but enables these systems to work together
Common Language and Vocabulary
Agnostic Implementation
Value to Organizations: Interoperability is the ability of many diverse systems to work together. By increasing interoperability between mission areas and jurisdictions, government can enhance its services across key functional areas such as law enforcement and emergency response.
The reuse of IEPDs, in part and whole, within NIEM will:
Value Proposition - Reusability
Decrease the development time for information exchanges that
use similar sets of data
Allows practitioners to increase the level of consistency in data
definitions across their information exchanges
Decrease Development Time Increase Consistency
Value to Organizations: Reuse through NIEM can help organizations avoid costs associated with the development and maintenance of information exchanges, leading to an increased budget available to spend in mission areas
NIEM Success StoryImpact on Pharmaceutical Drug Monitoring
ON PHARMACEUTICALDRUG MONITORINGThe Standard Prescription Monitoring Information Exchange
NIEM IMPACT
During the same period, there was a 150% INCREASE in prescriptions written for controlled substances.
The brand cost of 4 mg of Dilaudid is $88.94 per 100.The street value for the same amount is $10,000. The demand is REAL.

From 1992-2003, 15.1 million Americans
abused prescription drugs. That’s more than cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, and heroin COMBINED.
NIEM Impact on Pharmaceutical Drug Monitoring
1 in 5 teens are abusing prescription drugs to get high.
40% of teensbelieve that prescription drugs
are safer than illegal drugs.
29% of teensbelieve that prescription pain relievers are not addictive.
“You have young people getting pills for free from the homes of family members and friends.”

Where CA Prescriptions Really Go
There are three facets to the problem—misuse, abuse, and diversion—and three players—prescribers, dispensers, and patients.
Pharmaceutical drug abuse is
crossing state lines as offenders realize the gap in interstate
reporting.
As this map shows, less than 20%
of prescriptions written in California
were written for California residents.
Prescription drug monitoring is the coming together of pharmacy boards, health agencies, and law enforcement to monitor drug diversion.
NIEM Impact on Pharmaceutical Drug Monitoring
NIEM Impact on Pharmaceutical Drug Monitoring
As diversion of prescription controlled substances and the abuse involving these drugs continues to escalate, how can we improve interstate monitoring of drug use?
How do we enableprescription drug monitorsto see across state lines?
NIEM Impact on Pharmaceutical Drug Monitoring
Before NIEM, there was large gap in interstate reporting.
As abuse and diversion escalate, law enforcement and health practitioners need a standardized, scalable solution to share patient drug history.
The Standard NIEM PrescriptionMonitoring Program InformationExchange assists prescribers, health agencies, and law enforcement in identifying potential abuse and diversion.
NIEM Impact on Pharmaceutical Drug Monitoring
The Prescription Monitoring Program uses NIEM to empower connections:

This is a solution that the 50 states, Canada, and Mexico can leverage.
