Health information exchange (HIE) resources at the National Rural Health Resource Center
The National Rural Health Resource Center has made available a set of practical health information exchange (HIE) resources. See HIE Toolkit. We
hope these will be distributed widely to rural health stakeholders,
including State Offices of Rural Health and Flex Programs, rural
hospitals and clinics, critical access hospitals (CAHs), rural health
networks, and other invested parties.
Here’s a list of individual tools and corresponding links:
This
document covers the first steps in forming or joining an HIE. The
document also includes a readiness self-assessment tool designed around
governance, sustainability, technology, legal and policy, provider
adoption, evaluation and consumer engagement domains.
This
spreadsheet calculates potential savings and costs of implementing an
electronic health record (EHR) and a health information exchange (HIE).
Sources are listed along with each calculation.
This
guide to DIRECT connectivity standards is designed to assist health
care providers in understanding and implementing health information
exchange using DIRECT protocols. The guide includes descriptions of
technologies used, a glossary of terms and recommendations on
implementing DIRECT.
These
"policy models" are adapted from The Connecting for Health Common
Framework. Specifically, the policy suggestions are from section P2:
Model Privacy Policies and Procedures for Health Information Exchange.
This framework provides several useful tools for health information
exchange (HIE); P2 contains much of the necessary policy and procedure
language needed for an HIE.
The
privacy and security requirements for organizations participating in an
HIE are covered in this guide. A list of HIPAA-related resources is
also included for staying current on regulatory changes.
All of these resources can be found at http://www.ruralcenter.org/ rhitnd/hie-toolkit.

you have any questions or are seeking clarification on any of the
material, its content or its distribution, please contact the Rural HIT
Network Development (RHITND) technical assistance team at 218-727-9390
