Health Information Exchange (HIE)

ONC's coordinating entity for TEFCA is seeking feedback on the draft, which details proposed processes and requirements for becoming a Qualified Health Information Network.

The two-year collaboration will focus efforts to extend comprehensive standards for interoperability and specs such as FHIR across the the healthcare community.

Analytics tools can help efficiently extract and share HIE data, which leads to informed clinical decisions that can drive improved patient outcomes, says Dr. Rami Riman, director of clinical and business improvements in EMEA for InterSystems.

The system is expected to house the health data of over 50 million people in the Kingdom.

The new $550,000 program will help fund organizations pursuing new technologies and strategies for nationwide health data exchange and building new connectivity tools.

ONC chief Micky Tripathi spoke at HIMSS22 alongside Dr. Daniel Jernigan, the CDC's deputy director for public health science and surveillance. Both see long-needed improvements ahead for data exchange and public health reporting.

At HIMSS22, leaders from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, the Sequoia Project and other organizations discussed the future of individual access to data.

The new standard will define electronic interactions among identity providers, electronic health record systems, health information exchanges, health information networks and a record locator service.

Dr. Shaun Grannis and Suranga Kasturi talk through a recent study from the Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University showing how machine learning can help inform public health.

The organization's Emergency Preparedness Information Workgroup convened multiple times over the course of several months to analyze gaps in current strategies to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
