  1. Cal eConnect: Enabling Health Information Exchange in California June 14, 2010

  2. The Goal of HIE Electronically aggregated clinical information……. Available anywhere, anytime! Needs only Internet browser and security sign-on. Capable of exchanging valuable clinical information with EHRs and in paper-based offices.

  3. Role of Cal eConnect • Governance • Independent non-profit corporation • Administer four-year, $38.8M federal cooperative agreement • 22-member multi-stakeholder Board • Four state officials • Implement Strategic and Operational Plans already developed by State with broad public input • Identify “core” or “shared” HIE services • Arrange for provision of HIE services • Develop policies that will ensure HIE is safe and secure • Engage stakeholders • Develop sustainable business model

  4. Cal eConnect Mission • Cal eConnect’s mission is to collaboratively establish policies, services and innovations that make possible the appropriate, secure, and efficient exchange of health information for the purpose of improving health and health care safety, quality, access and efficiency for all Californians. 

  5. Board of Directors • 19 of 22 members elected to date (categories proscribed by legislation) • Initial Board

  6. California’s HIE Strategy Leverage existing infrastructure where viable, extend scope and scale where applicable Take advantage and use networks that are working today; build bridges to connect them where they don’t exist Support regions, eligible hospitals & providers where no infrastructure exists Allow networks to connect with each other: “network of networks” Require use of open standards, using secure Internet protocols for routing

  7. Market Scenarios

  8. Overview of Planned Services The Core HIE Services are to enable parties to determine authenticity of HIE transactions where and how to direct HIE transactions intended for specific recipients via the internet Technical and policy work remain to define policies and technical design Functions not addressed in current architecture: MPI (Master Patient Index) RLS (Record Locator Service) Patient Consent Registry Why not? Vexing technical, business, and privacy issues Not needed for Stage 1 meaningful use functions

  9. Assumptions • Don’t interfere with current exchanges. • Take advantage of emerging national technical and policy standards. • Encourage existing and enable new exchanges to support interoperability, while strengthening privacy and security. • Don’t let immediate work for 2011 inhibit more robust information exchange in 2013 and 2015. • Identify a trust fabric that spans spectrum of information exchange – for 2011, 2013, 2015 and beyond.
