DESCRIPTION
Interoperability is one of the most critical issues facing the health care industry today. A universal exchange language is needed to assist health care providers in sharing health information in order to coordinate diagnosis and treatment, while maintaining privacy and security of personal data. Health Information Exchanges (HIE) allow for the movement of clinical data between disparate systems; they enable providers to electronically share health records through a network. This presentation provides an overview of HIE and the Meaningful Use requirement related to the exchange of clinical information as well as information about standards of exchange and the recommended "next steps" for providers.

Benefits of Health Information Benefits of Health Information ExchangeExchange• Provides a vehicle to support improved
patient care quality and safety
• Provides a mechanism to reduce duplication of services and reduce health care costs
• Enables the integration of sick-care (illness) with well-care

Health Information ExchangesHealth Information Exchanges
• History– Regional Health Information Org.
(RHIOs)• A health information organization (HIO) that
brings together health care stakeholders within a defined geographic area and governs health information exchange (HIE) among them for the purpose of improving health and care in that community.-National Health Alliance for Health Information Technology
– Effort begun in 20077
Health Information ExchangesHealth Information Exchanges
• History– HIEs• Taking RHIOs to the next step• Still issues with privacy, security,
sustainability and dependability of the HIE• No standards yet mandated by ONC

Current State of HIEsCurrent State of HIEs
• Many in beginning stages of formation
• Still working on sustainability– Beacon Grants:15 grants awarded in May
2010 to develop interoperability in areas that already have high EHR adoption rates and to use that information to help inform efforts tosupport meaningful use of EHRs

Current State of HIEsCurrent State of HIEs
• State Health Information Exchange Program– http://healthit.hhs.gov/portal/server.pt?
open=512&mode=2&objID=1834
• Various standards being used– Standards haven’t been mandated in
HITECH Act like labs, CCD, etc.

Types of HIEsTypes of HIEs
• Public Entity – Geographic– Statewide: funding possibly through
federal grants and state or local initiatives
• Private Entities – Coalition– Regional entity (hospital, physician
groups) drives creation of HIE

sender
– Bi-directional Push• Example: Laboratory Interface• Send and receive information – each way
initiated by sender
