HISPC-Illinois II The Public-Private Partnership Moves Forward on Privacy and Security
The Public-Private Partnership Experience demonstrates the successful implementation of electronic health records (EHR) and health information exchange (HIE) initiatives requires the committed participation of government and stakeholders. In Illinois, this public-private partnership grew out of the efforts of the Governor, the General Assembly, the Electronic Health Records Taskforce, stakeholders and the Illinois Department of Public Health.

HISPC-Illinois Phase II
Project Proposal • The priority for Illinois as HISPC enters phase 2 is to move the public-private partnership outlined in the EHRT report and supported in the HISPC-Illinois State Implementation Plan forward in the areas of privacy and security. “Solution 8,” of the “State Implementation Plan – Illinois” provides for the “lead state agency/organization” to have expertise in privacy and security to guide state activities. • Consistent with the spirit of that implementation solution, HISPC-Illinois II will set up an expert work group to prepare draft privacy and security policies and recommendations for consideration by ILHIN. Another work group will prepare a uniform patient EHR/HIE consent form for possible use by ILHIN, clinicians, health care facilities and other providers.
Steering Committee • Review and approve project deliverables • Provide organizational resources to help staff the working groups • Seek input and/or representation from stakeholder • Serve as a liaison between the Steering Committee and their organization/area of expertise, communicating HISPC activities to constituencies
Privacy & SecurityWork Group • Develop an outline of privacy and security issues to be included in the “Draft Policies and Recommendations document.” • Prepare a draft of the “Draft Policies and Recommendations document” for review by stakeholders. • Finalize the “Draft Policies and Recommendations document.”
Legal Work Group • Outline issues to be addressed in the model consent form. • Preparing a draft form for review by stakeholders. • Adopt a “Model Uniform Patient EHR/HIE Consent Form.” • Preparing a plan for the dissemination of the model consent form and to encourage its use by stakeholders.
Regional Collaboratives • In addition to the projects undertaken by the states, representatives of HISPC and non-HISPC states will participate in projects of regional or nationwide significance. • Each state HISPC project is expected to participate in one of the regional collaboratives.
Important Project Dates • September 10 collaborative meeting • National meeting in Washington on November 1 and 2 • Final “Impact Report” due on November 9 • Regional collaborative strategies due on November 16 • Project ends December 31
