Texas Approach to Statewide Health Information Exchange CHIME 11 Fall CIO Forum San Antonio, Texas October 26, 2011
Presentation Overview • Texas Health Services Authority (THSA) • Texas Vision and Approach to Statewide HIE • Question and Answers
THSA Organizational Background Created in 2007 by the Texas Legislature through House Bill 1066 Public-private partnership, legally structured as a nonprofit corporation, to promote and coordinate the development of HIE in Texas Governed by a 13-member Board of Directors appointed by the Governor with advice and consent of the Texas Senate
Approach to Statewide HIE GOAL Enable improvements in the quality and efficiency of the Texas health care sector by enabling HIE infrastructure for the state. OBJECTIVE Deliver private, secure, and reliable HIE services to all Texas patients and providers through local HIE networks where the capacity exists and through Health Information Service Providers (HISPs) where it does not. STRATEGIES • Local HIE Grant Program • White Space Coverage • General State-Level Operations
Local HIE Grant Program $19.5 million Local HIE Grant Program to support new or expanding HIE initiatives by partially funding planning, development, and operations of local HIE networks Administered by HHSC 16 HIEs funded through this program HIEs committed to connect 80-90% of all hospitals and physicians in Texas Significant local accountability
White Space Strategy Qualify HISPs to support hospitals and physicians located in areas without a local HIE or the “White Space” in Texas. HISPs will provide lite HIE connectivity services, including clinical summary exchange and electronic lab results delivery. $2 million in total funds is available to support the White Space strategy. All HISPs will be eligible to receive a subsidized payment from Texas hospitals and eligible physicians located in the identified White Space counties.
General State-Level Operations Administered jointly by THSA and HHSC Planning and Governance Structure THSA Board of Directors Collaboration Council (Steering Committee) Subject-matter Task Force State-Level Technical Services Planning (Texas HIE Interoperability Guidance) Inter-HIE/HISP Connectivity (e.g., Record Locator Services) Other State-Level Shared Services (e.g., Gateway Services to NwHIN and State-Level Data Sources) Policy Development (e.g., privacy and security)
