A National Web Conference on the Connecting for Health Common Framework: Resources for Health Information Exchange
Event Date:
July 25, 2006 | 1:00pm – 2:30pm ET
Overall Purpose:
If you are an organizer or participant in an electronic health information exchange initiative seeking guidance on policy and technical issues, don't miss this opportunity to learn about the Connecting for Health Common Framework: Resources for Health Information Exchange. Connecting for Health is a public-private collaborative of 100+ organizations representing all the points of view in healthcare. The Common Framework was publicly released last April and includes 16 policy guides and technical documents that address key issues in HIE.
See http://www.markle.org/health/markle-common-framework to preview the materials. This exciting resource addresses the following operational challenges faced by those on the front lines of HIE implementation including:
- How can a HIE initiative protect patient privacy by allowing health information to remain under local control?
- How do you avoid large-scale disruption and huge up-front capital investments by making use of existing hardware and software?
- How do you support better-informed policymaking around HIE?
- How do you establish trust among collaborating organizations by applying well-vetted model contract language to fit their needs?
You will hear from individuals behind the design of the framework as well as those who have used it to advance HIE in their region. The Common Framework resources may be used as guidance by any network regardless of its size or underlying hardware and software. This webconference is essential for anyone grappling with the nuts and bolts of HIE.
