Assignment: different types of HIE or Health Information Exchanges
Assignment: different types of HIE or Health Information Exchanges ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS ON Assignment: different types of HIE or Health Information Exchanges In this thread we discuss the different types of HIE or Health Information Exchanges. In Support of this discussion, I am attaching an interesting FINAL Report on HIEs that was published in 2016, from a National Perspective. Note the challenges and issues that were described in this report in terms of technology, operations, and financing of health information exchanges. We know that every state in the US has approached the concept of health information exchange from their own perspective-there are regional exchanges, state level exchanges etc. Clary your state and look for the health information exchange is in the state where you live. Assignment: different types of HIE or Health Information Exchanges What did you find? What type of exchange is it? How big is the exchange and what providers in your area are participating and/or not participating? 150-200 words attachment_1 EV ALU ATION OF THE ST ATE HIE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT PROGRAM Final Report MARCH 2016 PRESENTED TO: Matthew Swain The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Washington, DC Contract Number: HHSP2337010T/OS33547 PRESENTED BY: Prashila Dullabh Shriram Parashuram Lauren Hovey Petry Ubri Kathryn Fischer NORC at the University of Chicago 4350 East-West Highway Suite 800 Bethesda, MD 20814 NORC | Evaluation of the State HIE Cooperative Agreement Program Acknowledgements The NORC project team would first like to acknowledge the large number of stakeholders who contributed to this evaluation, including State Health IT Coordinators, State Designated Entity Directors, HIE leadership, subject matter experts and many others who participated in interviews, discussions, and case studies.
