SHIEC18: Re-Cap, Impressions, & Insights
SHIEC is a national collaborative representing health information exchanges (HIEs). The organization already represents 60 HIEs, and these HIEs collectively cover more than 200 million people across the U.S., well over half of the American population. On August 19-22, 2018, the HIE community convened in Atlanta, GA to celebrate HIEs’ growth and success across the country. A packed house of 500+ attendees networked, learned and held collaborative discussions. The conference provided the opportunity to map a collective strategic direction that ensures continued HIE expansion in response to national needs and nationwide initiatives such as TEFCA.

HIE sustainability models & requirements for success: what is sustaining HIEs today will very likely not be what is sustaining them in 5 years
Funding for @RIQI_Org is public utility (4 members pay $1PMPM), grants and contracts, and fee-based services; challenge is building infrastructure you then have to support. Only state to have health insurance commissioner. Mandate health plan puts money in. #SHIEC18 pic.twitter.com/ECS4aovJG7

Blockchain supports HIE use cases and would be ideally deployed for HIE patient identification
Why is #blockchain technology good for #HIE organizations? What do you think? #SHIEC18 #healthit #pophealth #interoperability pic.twitter.com/cicm1Q82uV

Blockchain for #HIE would be best utilized for patient identity according to @MikeLGagnon of @HealtHIENevada. No #PHI, but rather #PII. Would contain index of where data for a patient exists and could be queried to retrieve directly from the source #SHIEC18 pic.twitter.com/ogLMzcRRwY
— Justin Campbell (@tjustincampbell) August 22, 2018
Relevant #blockchain use cases include patient/provider identity, audit and record locator service. #SHIEC18 @SHIEClive

The key to capturing the patient’s voice is capturing the social determinants of health (SDoH)
