OHIO HEALTH INFORMATION PARTNERSHIP


Mission:


To advance the adoption, implementation and meaningful use of health IT among healthcare providers and facilitate and develop an electronic health information exchange(HIE) in order to improve the safety, quality, accessibility, availability, and efficiency of healthcare for the citizens of Ohio.


Objectives and Goals:


The goal of OHIP is to create a trusted and sustainable statewide health information exchange (HIE), offering a value-added, integrated and seamless structure for enabling health data exchange to improve measurable health outcomes for citizens of Ohio. To achieve this goal, OHIP has established the following objectives:


  • Promote the ability for providers to reach meaningful use to improve the quality of healthcare delivered;
  • Provide a financially sustainable HIE that is not reliant on long-term public or grant support;
  • Provide a technical architecture that ensures private and secure exchange of health information with regional health information organizations (HIOs), HIEs located in other states and with disparate EHR systems using federally-endorsed standards and integration protocols;
  • Develop a governance structure that is able to operate in a manner that is fair and efficient for all stakeholder groups throughout the state;
  • Harmonize Ohio laws and regulation encompassing health information and exchange with national standards and requirements;
  • Provide de-identified and aggregate clinical health data to address population health issues in Ohio in an administratively efficient manner.
