Health Information Exchange (HIE)

Interoperability and Electronic Data Exchange 
We help our client highlight the benefits and potential roadblocks to the new thresholds, standards, and certification criteria. By so doing we equip MU2 and MU3  implementers with the tools needed to better understand electronic  data exchange(electronic lab. reporting, syndromic surveillance and Immunization messaging) and practical solutions for challenges they may face along the path to meeting the Stage 2 objectives and measures. We help clients to understand:

• Lab Information Exchange Standards  with public health jurisdictions based on their requirements
• How to Incorporating Structured Lab Data into the standard HL7 messages
• Lab Results Interface Guide
• LOINC and SNOMED  and other Vocabulary  code validation, mapping and analysis
• Sending Lab Results
• Assists using national scope messaging standards (HL7) and implementation guides.
• We help you evaluate Integration engines for the best products.
• We help you connect through interface to any EHR or Lab Information system.
• We help your facility accelerate widespread adoption and compliance with emerging HIT standards.
• Our Subject Matter experts provide automated support through health information to help Providers and hospitals meet State’s requirements of Meaningful use attestation.

Interoperability and Transitions of Care
We help hospital systems and Physician groups on to apply Meaningful Use (MU) Stage 2 interoperability standards for transitions of care and medication (clinical information) reconciliation.
We assist our clients to:

• Identify changes between MU Stage 1 and Stage 2 objectives, measures, and requirements as they relate to transitions of care and medication (clinical information) reconciliation
• Identify the Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) 2014 certified electronic health records technology (CEHRT) standards and certification criteria (S&CC) basics to provide the knowledge required to work with certified vendors and support eligible providers (EPs), eligible hospitals (EHs), and critical access hospitals (CAHs) in implementing MU Stage 2 interoperability requirements
• Identify provider and hospital attestation requirements and how CEHRT supports these requirements
• Identify specific provider or facility actions that constitute achievement of MU Stage 2 transitions of care and medication reconciliation objectives and measures

Interoperability and Public Health 
The Interoperability and Public Health course provides an overview of steps providers must take to begin the onboarding process with their Public Health Agency to begin submitting data electronically. The training describes the increased level of effort providers can anticipate and changes in requirements from MU Stage 1 to MU Stage 2. The course identifies requirements, standards, data transport mechanisms and implementation guides for each public health domain – immunization, reportable lab results, syndromic surveillance, centralized cancer registries and other specialized registries. The course covers potential challenges providers and EHR vendors may encounter with public health data submission.
