“The electronic exchange of data plays a critical role in supporting high-quality and cost-effective care. The Medicare & Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program includes standards to support health information exchange and interoperability among meaningful users of certified EHR technology. The coordination and sharing of patient information across health care settings is challenging, with terminology standards adoption, lack of infrastructure to support data exchange, and concerns about privacy and security.
Despite these difficulties, solutions are being created by local health information technology (IT) networks across the country. Two grant recipients of HRSA’s Office of Rural Health Policy Rural Health IT Network Development Program will describe their data sharing efforts within their health IT networks. Presenters will also share their experience leveraging ORHP funds to support the health IT infrastructure in their safety net communities.
