SHIEC has adopted a vaccination required policy for SHIEC21, similar to HIMSS and HLTH’s conferences this year. This means that all attendees, exhibitors, and staff members will need to provide proof of their COVID-19 “full vaccination” to attend to the conference. Anyone who cannot provide verification of their fully vaccinated status is invited to participate in the conference using the virtual attendance option. The hybrid platform was built to ensure a great experience for both in-person and virtual attendees.
We appreciate all the hard work HIEs and their partners have done in the past year, especially in responding to the pandemic, and we remain committed to the health and safety of our members and their communities.
CLOSED- open to SHIEC HIE/Associate Members ONLY

HIEs and Information Blocking Rules: A Path Forward for Sharing Data with Patients

New Collaborative Business Models for HIEs

HIEs have traditionally been viewed as a conduit to share healthcare information derived primarily from Electronic Medical Record systems (EMR) and related sources (e.g. labs, imaging). With the national emphasis on population health and wellbeing, HIEs can play leading roles as: aggregator – providing normalized multi-sector data; integrator – of an array of technical capabilities to support of more complete well-coordinated services; convener – working with community stakeholders to improve quality, and effectiveness of data guided services. The Idaho Health Data Exchange (IHDE) has embraced this role providing statewide access to a social needs platform that is linked with patient’s clinical record, and steadily being integrated with the HIEs exchange, aggregation, and analytic services. IHDE has also established a statewide learning collaborative to advance adoption and to strengthen community linkages. IHDE’s leadership will discuss the approach and impact as an example of how HIEs can emerge as leaders of population health initiatives.

This discussion will explore how HIEs can support the Primary Care First (PCF) model developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Innovative strategies used by data aggregators will be showcased as part of a larger conversation around how claims and data aggregation has evolved in the context of new payment models. Examples to be covered include the use of encounter notification services in Arkansas for fighting COVID-19, leveraging light-weight gaps-in-care reports in Ohio, and how care coordination for seniors is bolstered in Philadelphia through augmented notifications. These examples will serve as a basis for exploring CMS’ vision of HIE participation in PCF and for eliciting additional ideas for advancing data use.

Introduction from NextGen: Curtis Bailey
The ONC Immunization Data Exchange, Advancement and Sharing (IDEAS) program was established to strengthen and accelerate the use of health information in new ways by advancing the collaboration and increasing data sharing between Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) and Immunization Information Systems (IISs) to help inform public health events, including disasters and pandemics such as COVID-19. In this session, ONC and the program grantee, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) will discuss their planned approach to advance collaboration and increase data sharing between IISs and HIEs with program participants SHIEC, the American Immunization Registry Association (AIRA), and the Association of Immunization Managers (AIM).
Eric Heflin, CTO/CISO of the Texas Health Services Authority, and Rene Lowe, HIETexas PULSE Engagement Manager at Audacious Inquiry, will discuss how HIEs can support public health by employing modern healthcare IT solutions to solve critical challenges faced by the disaster response community.
HIETexas PULSE, the Patient Unified Lookup System for Emergencies, is a cloud-based, scalable software solution allowing electronic patient data to be viewed by providers in non-routine healthcare settings during disasters and public health crises -- the first health information exchange platform to be built specifically for disaster response.
The Situational Awareness for Novel Epidemic Response Project (SANER) is an initiative, funded by an ONC Cooperative Agreement, designed to demonstrate that HIEs can leverage uniform interoperability standards to better support public health departments and hospitals in satisfying state and federal reporting requirements for the COVID-19 response.
Eric and Rene will offer a live demo of HIETexas PULSE and share how SANER is being piloted in Texas during the pandemic so that other HIEs can leverage these early efforts to provide value to their public health and hospital stakeholders.

Building on the session at SHIEC’s 2020 virtual conference series, we will explore the latest developments in the emerging public health data utility model for HIEs, which envisions nonprofit, statewide/state designated entities with multistakeholder governance models and broad connectivity to healthcare providers. The critical importance of this model was emphasized many times over during the COVID-19 pandemic. These entities may combine claims, clinical, and public health data such as registries, case reports, and other data for the purposes of syndromic surveillance to inform both on the ground care and state and community level public health and health improvement activities. The panelists encompass some of the leading HIEs across the nation, including CRISP (Maryland, DC, West Virginia, and Connecticut), CyncHealth (Nebraska and Iowa), CORHIO-Health Current (Arizona and Colorado), Indiana Health Information Exchange, Manifest MedEx (California), and MiHIN/Velatura (Michigan and Missouri). The session will be moderated by Lisa Bari, SHIEC’s interim CEO.

As the healthcare industry moves to a value-based system, health information exchanges (HIE) have a vital role in supporting the growing data needs to improve health outcomes. This important and timely session presented by Wisconsin Statewide Health Information Network (WISHIN)’s CEO, Joe Kachelski and COO, Steve Rottmann alongside KPI Ninja’s Amanda McCollum and Renee Towne, will dispel misconceptions about the obstacles and work required with transitioning your HIE to supporting value-based care – an essential step to keep your and our nation’s HIEs at the center of the future of our health care system.

The 21st Century Cures Act, The CARES Act, and President Biden’s executive order calling for a data driven response to COVID-19 all help to prioritize and fund data access and exchange for public health. It is not just hope but imperative that this is the point at which faxes and swivel chair interoperability are replaced. Priority and funding are not all that is needed, however. Data interoperability for the 5 use cases of public health -- syndromic surveillance, immunization registries, electronic case reporting, electronic lab reporting, and clinical registries – requires interoperability not just between two systems, but interoperability across many systems to present an accurate representation of an individual in a case report or populations in other use cases. Data must be useful: consistently represented and matched across systems to individuals. Data must be usable: normalized, deduplicated, and accurate. Join us to learn how InterSystems technology meets these needs for interoperable, healthy data in support of public health.
Making health data available in a timely fashion to empower clinicians and patients is at the heart of a health information exchange. At the same time, so is providing participating health care organizations with information on how to become complaint with the 21st Century Cures Act Information Blocking Rule. Join Al Ogata, Hawaii Health Information Exchange’s (HHIE) COO, and Vineeth Yeddula, KPI Ninja’s CEO, as they offer an overview of the new regulation through the complex lens of HIE data. The pair will discuss the data mining approach HHIE took to be able to assist its heath care partners with their compliance and how they plan to use the results to align the organization’s strategic trajectory to delivering additional value to HHIE participants.
