Minnesota backs statewide HIE
Can a state-backed health information exchange get further than private sector efforts? Minneapolis may find out. The state has struck a partnership with a group of health organizations, including Allina Hospitals & Clinics, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota and HealthPartners, under which providers around the state will share health information.
The program, which will serve more than 3 million consumers, will begin by providing patient medication histories, lab orders and test results. In the future, the group expects to offer access to digital radiology reports, e-prescribing and disease surveillance data.
Rather than being formed directly as a state organization, the HIE will operate as a non-profit organization, and despite its state affiliation, is funded by the founding organizations. The HIE will charge providers who want to use the system for a subscriber fee.
