  2. Today’s Objectives • Describe the HIT infrastructure in the United States. • Discuss how priorities for HIT funding are being set in the United States. • Describe implications of the HIT priorities for pharmacy and pharmacy system vendors. • Data sharing: What is state of HIEs? • Lake Wobegon: Minnesota as a case study

  3. Technology and health… • …Alan has noted the reasons why the push • toward HIT…

  4. But it remains a challenging undertaking… • President Obama and Vice President Biden understand the immense transformative power of technology and innovation and how they can improve the lives of Americans. They will work to ensure the full and free exchange of information through an open Internet and use technology to create a more transparent and connected democracy. • www.whitehouse.gov • Inauguration Day

  5. The Health IT Infrastructure • Increasingly government-driven (but not forever…) • First IT Czar: David Brailer 5/2004 • (Who was the second? The third?) • Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT • http://healthit.hhs.gov, formed 8/2005 • "We will make wider use of electronic records and other health information technology to help control costs and reduce dangerous medical errors."-- President Bush, January 31, 2006

  7. Terms • EHR • EMR • PHR • HI exchange • Health information organization • Regional health information organization • NHIN

  8. HIT Terms • Electronic Medical Record (EMR) –a digital record that is managed, shared, and consulted by health care clinicians and staff within one health care organization • •Electronic Health Record (EHR) –a digital record that is managed, shared, and consulted by authorized health care clinicians and staff across more than one health care organization. • •Personal Health Record (PHR) –a digital record that is managed, shared, and controlled by or primarily for the individual. • •Health Information Exchange (HIE) –the movement of health-related information among health care organizations according to nationally recognized standards.

  9. HIT • Interoperability is common theme • National standards are needed to enable information flow • Principle difference EMR and EHR is interoperable exchange • Control of information distinguishes EHR from PHR • HIE is process; HIO is oversight, RHIO is type of HIO
