– Electronic Health Records (EHR)– Health Information Exchanges– Personal Health Records (PHR)– Mobile health apps, “smart” tech
• What is the purpose of Health Information Exchange?To close the patient information gap across care settings by electronically
connecting disparate systems and data sources to support improved quality of care, better health outcomes, and reductions in cost.

Georgia Health Information Exchange Network
• DCH has facilitated the development and implementation of Georgia’s statewide health information exchange network
• DCH collaborated with the Georgia Health Information Network Inc. (GaHIN), a non-profit organization, to establish the statewide HIE
– GaHIN is a Network of Networks Model. Health systems and regional HIEs connect hospitals, physician practices and other providers to GaHIN
– Not a central repository of clinical data. Information remains with the treating provider and only flows when there is authorization
– Established governance and policy framework to support Network
– DCH transitioned the HIE operations and technology to GaHIN in 2014
