The RHIO Concept – Defined
[By Richard J. Mata MD, CIS, CMP™]
Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs), or data exchanges, are multi-stakeholder organizations. They might include groups of hospitals, medical societies, payers, major employers, and other healthcare organizations.
Generally, these stakeholders are developing RHIOs with the goal of affecting the safety, quality, and efficiency of healthcare as well as improving access to healthcare by expanding the use of health information technology. It is expected that RHIOs will be responsible for motivating and causing integration and information exchange in the nation’s revamped healthcare system
Assessment
Regions in the U.S. continue to use various definitions of “multi-stakeholder organizations.” For instance, in Wichita, Kansas, the Clinics Patient Index is a software architecture as well as support environment that facilitates integration among outpatient clinics and hospital emergency departments.
And, what will be the affect of [HR 3590], or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, on RHIOs?
