The push for advancing interoperability and increased demand for health information exchange has given rise to expanding stakeholder groupsThis has exposed a variety of gaps in data exchangeIn this session we will identify and explore what gaps exist and discuss innovative ways in which data is being exchanged to help diminish these gaps
Presentation Purpose
4
1 Identify barriers in data reciprocity and data exchange when it comes to expanding stakeholder groups
2 Recognize the impact of stakeholder gaps in regards to patient and value-based care
3 Describe innovative ways in which some stakeholders are addressing disparities in data exchange

ldquoThe term lsquointeroperabilityrsquo with respect to health information technology means health information technology that ndasha enables the secure exchange of electronic health information
with and use of electronic health information from other health information technology without special effort on the part of the user
b allows for complete access exchange and use of all electronically accessible health information forauthorized use under applicable State or Federal law
c does not constitute information blocking as defined in section 3022(a) of the Public Health Service Act as amended
21st Century Cures Act

bull Interoperability is the ability of different information systems devices or applications to connect in a coordinated manner within and across organizational boundaries to access exchangeand cooperatively use data amongst stakeholders with the goal of optimizing the health of individuals and populations

The push for advancing interoperability and increased demand for health information exchange has given rise to expanding stakeholder groupsThis has exposed a variety of gaps in data exchangeIn this session we will identify and explore what gaps exist and discuss innovative ways in which data is being exchanged to help diminish these gaps
Presentation Purpose
4
1 Identify barriers in data reciprocity and data exchange when it comes to expanding stakeholder groups
2 Recognize the impact of stakeholder gaps in regards to patient and value-based care
3 Describe innovative ways in which some stakeholders are addressing disparities in data exchange

ldquoThe term lsquointeroperabilityrsquo with respect to health information technology means health information technology that ndasha enables the secure exchange of electronic health information
with and use of electronic health information from other health information technology without special effort on the part of the user
b allows for complete access exchange and use of all electronically accessible health information forauthorized use under applicable State or Federal law
c does not constitute information blocking as defined in section 3022(a) of the Public Health Service Act as amended
21st Century Cures Act

bull Interoperability is the ability of different information systems devices or applications to connect in a coordinated manner within and across organizational boundaries to access exchangeand cooperatively use data amongst stakeholders with the goal of optimizing the health of individuals and populations

ldquoThe term lsquointeroperabilityrsquo with respect to health information technology means health information technology that ndasha enables the secure exchange of electronic health information
with and use of electronic health information from other health information technology without special effort on the part of the user
b allows for complete access exchange and use of all electronically accessible health information forauthorized use under applicable State or Federal law
c does not constitute information blocking as defined in section 3022(a) of the Public Health Service Act as amended
21st Century Cures Act

bull Interoperability is the ability of different information systems devices or applications to connect in a coordinated manner within and across organizational boundaries to access exchangeand cooperatively use data amongst stakeholders with the goal of optimizing the health of individuals and populations

ldquoThe term lsquointeroperabilityrsquo with respect to health information technology means health information technology that ndasha enables the secure exchange of electronic health information
with and use of electronic health information from other health information technology without special effort on the part of the user
b allows for complete access exchange and use of all electronically accessible health information forauthorized use under applicable State or Federal law
c does not constitute information blocking as defined in section 3022(a) of the Public Health Service Act as amended
21st Century Cures Act
