reconciliation.
Thus, preventing adverse drug interactions.
Data can be harvested for analytics, thus producing valuable information for the improvement of individual and population health.
Best Practices and Success Factors
While no single formula for HIE success exists, several valuable lessons can be shared.
a definitive plan or framework – Healthcare transformation may require policy development, technology framework, and/or an overarching strategic plan. Addressing these before spending precious financial resources ensures jurisdictions are “building” to a demonstrable, quantifiable vision to achieve interoperability.
Canada implemented components of this with the organization and funding of Canada Health Infoway and the development of the Health Information Access Layer as part of its national blueprint. Monies were paid to the provinces after they demonstrated compliance and achieved project milestones.
Additionally, over a decade ago, Hong Kong embarked on a clinical system initiative with a plan to enable data sharing across its medical infrastructure. Today, its Electronic Patient Record Sharing Pilot Project (PPI-ePR) is establishing a web- based system to integrate patients’ information in real time to be shared among clinics and public and private hospitals. Registered patients are assigned a personal identification number and, upon providing consent, can use the secure platform to give participating private healthcare providers access to their individual electronic patient records (ePRs).
