Who do we serve? How is it Governed? Why are we doing it? • HIE • REC • Beacon • State Agencies • Political Appointees • ARRA/ACA/ELC/CMS • Health Reform Public Health public health
Do we need a Do-Over? • What is the Plan? • For us • For our organizations • For those we serve • Is it technical, political, social? • Is it doable? • Is it transferable? • What does interoperability and integration mean?
Effect of Silos • People are talking • Data is being shared • Standards are being developed • Infrastructure grant money is becoming available Creating more technically confusing data structures Creating non-sustainable data storage sites Creating countless communication portals Raising issues of privacy and security Pushing the limits of HIPAA Angering providers

What does it mean to Public Health? • Stage 1 – EP’s MU of EMRs • EP reporting: • Immunizations • Reportable lab results • Syndromic surveillance • E-prescribing • Reduction of disparities • Public Health in HIE • Planning • Funding • Sustainability • Governance • State HIT Coordinator • Who should it be? • Whose agenda? • HITECH • ARRA • ACA • CMS • HIT Adoption • Dog chasing the tail? • Deadline • Money • Implement • Report • redo Public Health Eligibility
What is the vision? • Patient(client-centric) • Standardized across organizations • Shared locally, nationally, globally • Affordable • Sustainable • Usable
Repeatable and Institutionalized: • “We are part of a client centric, process driven, interoperable public health system.” • “We are more similar than we are different.” Without a vision…what are you leading?
