A recent article, by Diana Manos, called “Privacy Concerns Remain Barrier to Health Information Exchanges (HIE)” provides an overview on a report released by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology:
“A new report on health information exchange says state public-private health information exchange organizations are making progress in some areas, but the question of privacy remains a hurdle. … ONC chief Robert Kolodner, MD, said one barrier to HIE growth is the lack of trust across all stakeholders. Governance must include all stakeholders or “solutions are sub-optimized,” he said. Now is “a pivotal time” for building sustainable health information exchange, he added.”
This report, titled “State-Level Health Information Exchange: Roles in Ensuring Governance and Advancing Interoperability” is available online and can be downloaded here:
“It outlines a potential framework for organizing HIE functions and formalizing organizational and sector roles and responsibilities. It synthesizes field research and provides recommendations to be considered for strengthening and expanding HIE capacity, capitalizing on the important contributions of state-level HIE initiatives.”
