Altarum is a qualified vendor; they developed the initial birth defects implementation guide through Health Level Seven International (HL7), “a not-for-profit, ANSI-accredited standards developing organization dedicated to providing a comprehensive framework and related standards for the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information that supports clinical practice and the management, delivery and evaluation of health services.”
Altarum has convened stakeholders across states from 2019-2020 to develop a birth defects domain analysis model for HL7, of which Minnesota participated, and their birth defects registry and interoperability work are recognized within the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, a branch of the CDC (NCBDDD). They are currently working on an implementation guide for birth defects using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), a more recent standard for health care data exchange.
