Abstract:The FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine (AVS-AAM) plays a key role in aviation safety by establishing medical standards for flight fitness and by issuing pilot medical certifications. To gather the information needed to perform this role, the FAA uses a network of Aviation Medical Examiners who administer pilot examinations at specified intervals. MITRE CAASD explored the feasibility of electronic medical record data integration into the aeromedical certification process to expedite the collection of already available information. The research involved literature review and policy analysis, workflow analysis of the existing MedXPress website, database analysis, terminology mapping, stakeholder process mapping, and preliminary integration testing with major Electronic Health Record (EHRs) vendors. The study recommended addressing different workflows for different stakeholders and ensuring that the Privacy Policy is up to date and accurately reflects current implementations. The report underscored the need for legal consultation during the implementation process, as different data ownership regulations apply depending on who accesses and owns the data. It also recommended the use of health aggregation services, such as health information exchanges and Patient Health Record patient-data aggregators, to gather the necessary longitudinal data from EHRs needed for the pilot examination.
