AHIMA IN COLLABORATION with Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) International has been publishing the findings of the Use Case Task Force in a series of articles in the Journal of AHIMA's Standards Strategies section. The first article in this series, published in the June 2017 issue of the Journal, provided definitions for the concepts that define user needs for the adoption of health information technology (HIT) to support HIT systems interoperability and information sharing across systems. These concepts are business cases (breakthrough areas), use cases, realization scenarios, technical use cases, and storyboards. The second article published in the July 2017 issue of the Journal presented the hierarchy between concepts, illustrated the hierarchy using the examples of assembling the artifacts in the domain of clinical imaging, and described the approach and standards for building the business cases. The third article, published in the September 2017 issue of the Journal, presented another example of applying the concept hierarchy in the domain of e-prescribing and medication management and described the approach and standards for building the use cases and realization scenarios for information exchange in healthcare.
