Current HIT Landscape
  • Most practices still do not have Electronic
    Health Records (EHRs)
  • Substantial value established
  • Adoption challenges
  • Personal Health Records (PHRs) are still early
    in their development
  • Many models, great promise, questions about
    utilization
  • Limits where EHRs exist
  • Do not usually exchange data electronically with
    each other, with hospitals, with labs, or with
    pharmacies
  • Most EHR data must be input manually - impedes
    adoption by consumers and clinicians

  • foster nationwide exchange of
  • secure health information
  • How?
  • Federal health IT organization are expected to
    participate in multiple ways
  • As direct health care delivery organizations
  • As users of data (such as biosurveillance, public
    health, and research)
  • FHA Support?
  • FHA will assist Federal agencies in developing
    their NHIN strategy and
  • implementation of NHIN services

FHIA Task-- Coordinating Benefits Eligibility
  • Many Federal agencies provide benefits pertaining
    to healthcare and disability (DoD, VA, IHS, CMS,

    savings/recovery by coordinating benefits
    eligibility determination between agencies, and
    between agencies and non-Federal payors

    identify potential common processes and services

Together, we can solve the problem
  • Recognizing
  • Interoperability is the linchpin of this nation's
    health landscape in 2014.
  • Interoperability serves the common good.
  • Implementation of national HIT initiatives
    requires cooperation between government and
    private sectors
  • Implementation of national HIT demands a shared
    commitment to success.
