CHITTA’s POS Working Group(s)
PURPOSE To position CHITTA members to have an industry voice in provincial initiatives; and to encourage national participation in EHR-based activities
The Provincial Committee is co-chaired by POS VendorsHas a membership of over 20 POS vendors out of the 40 POS Vendors from across Canada. Over 150 CHITTA members.
“I am delighted at the establishment of CHITTA. CHITTA allows us to work proactively, with the vendor community on issues of mutual concern. While recognizing that clients and vendors respond to different drivers, CHITTA enables us to work efficiently and constructively with vendors, benefiting from their experience and expertise in developing policy or solutions to system-wide concerns.
CHITTA's involvement in the POSP/VCUR process has been instrumental in making the process participative and transparent.”
Mary Gibson, Alberta POSP Program Director
Vendors were actively engaged in Alberta’s next generation approach to POS
Reached an agreement to be the official channel for communications for the Alberta POSP/VCUR process; CHITTA members were voting members on the Task Force and Work Groups
• They played a key role in defining the Report’s requirements and the scheduling of their implementation
…and heralded the transition of CHITTA’s role to facilitate broad vendor involvement in Alberta’s EHR Rollout strategy
The Alberta Collaboration Experience

Development of pan-Canadian Physician Office System (POS) Requirements
Canadian jurisdictions recognize the importance of pan-Canadian Physician Office System Requirements to support physician confidence in selecting and using EMR products and support in principle the development of these pan-Canadian requirements.
The intent is to support improved patient care with electronic medical record systems in physician offices that accommodate existing and evolving EHR needs; these systems would conform to pan-Canadian standards that enable the sharing of information and promote the adoption of the electronic health record.
Jurisdictions supported by Canada Health Infoway are in the process of developing these requirements building on the base of existing requirements in place in Canadian provinces with physician automation programs.
Development of pan-Canadian Physician Office System (POS) Requirements
Significant progress to date on the identification of the core pan-Canadian functional requirements.
A jurisdictional working group and physicians (many Physicians from across Canada) are engaged in the identification of the requirements.
Vendor community will be engaged to vet the requirements once drafted
Completion of proposed pan-Canadian functional requirements are expected by January - February, 2008.
Approach to conformance testing of products and the governance and maintenance of requirements to be determined.
CHITTA Recommendations
National POS Specifications a good thing
Vendor community needs to be engaged during the building of requirements
More Physicians need to be involve and not just IT savvy Physicians
Approach to conformance testing of products and the governance and maintenance of requirements need to include the vendors and Physicians together.
