HIE: Health Information Exchange...some states are getting near ready to begin their exchange...these are private/public non government entities....seldom associated with state governments...BD
Three-quarters of states have begun developing some kind of health information exchange, according to a report released today by the State-Level HIE Consensus Project.
The project’s director, Lynn Dierker of the American Health Information Management Association, told a Health and Human Services Department advisory panel that the need for health care reform generally falls behind the creation of state-level HIE organizations, along with the need to keep patients' data private and secure.Synergy is needed between national and state-level health information technology programs and other health reform initiatives such as quality-of-care measurement and pay-for-performance incentives.
A new national organization called the State-Level HIE Leadership Forum is emerging to share insights and lessons learned, she said. It will hold its first meeting next week in Dallas.
