HIE-ADT Supplemental Award White Paper
ONC’s latest white paper reviews the key activities, outcomes, and lessons learned from the Advance Interoperable Health Information Exchange - Admission, Discharge, and Transfer (HIE-ADT) Supplemental Program. The HIE-ADT Program, which ended in July 2017, awarded four health information organizations (HIOs) funding to improve nationwide interoperability through the use and expansion of cross-state ADT notifications and provider directory services. The report includes key takeaways from a workshop held in DC where awardees discussed the governance and infrastructure necessary for nationwide exchange.
