HIT: Health Information Technology
Broad terminology for adoption and use of IT in a health setting
![Page 6: Impact of HIE on Public Health Laboratories](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051316/5681484f550346895db562e2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
EMR vs. EHR
EMR
• HIMSS definition: Component of the electronic health record which is owned by an institution
• Consensus Definition: Comprehensive electronic health record which includes laboratory, pharmacy, clinical and demographic data gathered from all applicable entities (public health laboratories, hospitals, private offices, etc) .
EHR
![Page 7: Impact of HIE on Public Health Laboratories](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051316/5681484f550346895db562e2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
HIE: Health Information Exchange
The secure transfer of electronic health information such as a medical record from one entity to another place, using electronic messaging such as HL-7
![Page 8: Impact of HIE on Public Health Laboratories](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051316/5681484f550346895db562e2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Meaningful Use
Evolving definition to electronically capture in coded format and to report health information and to use that information to track key clinical conditions
![Page 9: Impact of HIE on Public Health Laboratories](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051316/5681484f550346895db562e2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
HITECH Vision

Implications for Public Health
• Unprecedented opportunity to partner on HIE and population health improvement– Funding, policy and regulations are aligned– Private and public sector buy-in
• Expectations for public health capabilities around HIE will increase.
![Page 31: Impact of HIE on Public Health Laboratories](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051316/5681484f550346895db562e2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Implications for Public Health
• Opportunity to work with CDC and other federal partners to align funding streams with HITECH priorities
• Opportunity to explore certification of public health information systems– CCHIT-like modular certification around MU
requirements, or around broader PHIN requirements?
