项目摘要/摘要 电子健康记录(EHR)是一种强大的工具，有可能促进 医疗保健系统。EHR有能力支持临床医生、患者、护理人员、 管理人员、研究人员、付款人和其他利益相关者，通过告知临床实践，促进 行政业务(例如，质量改进举措)和支持研究。肺功能 检测(PFT)是肺部医学诊断评估的关键部分，对评估 随时间推移患者的肺部状况。目前，PFT值通常在存储PFT的服务器中可用 数据，但这不是直接连接到电子病历。到目前为止，将PFT与EHR相连接的努力一直是 孤立的努力没有受益于肺病界的统一做法。最终目标是 在所有电子健康记录中以离散数据元素的形式报告核心PFT结果集，以用于 临床护理和研究。为了实现这一目标，建议举办一次研讨会，以解决成功的效用 实现研究和临床目标的EHR PFT互操作性，并回顾后勤挑战和以前在 EHR PFT集成，重点是制定PFT集成到EHR的路线图。演讲者 参与者名单包括来自成人和儿科全科和肺部医学的主要利益相关者， 研究人员、PFT实验室、退伍军人健康管理局和健康维护组织， 信息学家、患者权益倡导团体以及多家EHR和PFT公司。的交付成果 研讨会有可能推动这一领域的发展，提高患者护理和研究的整体质量 并创造了一条通往较小医疗系统和做法的道路，这些系统和做法可能没有 确保PFT的互操作性所需的其他资源。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The electronic health record (EHR) is a powerful tool that has the potential to facilitate communication across healthcare systems. The EHR has the capability to support the needs of clinicians, patients, caregivers, administrators, researchers, payers, and other stakeholders by informing clinical practice, facilitating administrative operations (e.g., quality improvement initiatives), and supporting research. Pulmonary function testing (PFT) is a key part of the diagnostic assessment in pulmonary medicine and is critical to assessing the pulmonary status of patients over time. Currently, PFT values are typically available in a server that stores PFT data, but this is not interfaced directly to the EHR. The efforts to interface PFTs to the EHR to date have been siloed efforts that have not benefited from a unified approach of the pulmonary community. The ultimate goal is to have core set of PFT results reported as discrete data elements in all electronic health records for use in clinical care and research. To achieve this goal, a workshop is proposed to address the utility of successful EHR PFT interoperability for research and clinical goals and review logistical challenges and prior successes in EHR PFT integration, with the focus on developing a roadmap to PFT integration into the EHR. The speaker and participant list includes key stakeholders from adult and pediatric general and pulmonary medicine, researchers, PFT laboratories, Veterans Health Administration and health maintenance organizations, informaticists, patient-advocacy groups, and multiple EHR and PFT companies. The deliverables of the workshop have potential to advance the field and to improve quality of patient care and research in large institutions and to create a path forward to smaller healthcare systems and practices that may not have the resources otherwise required to ensure interoperabilty of PFTs.
