Ryan White 2012 Grantee Meeting

Two case studies from diverse regions illustrate the common importance, barriers, successes, and lessons learned in successful data exchange that transformed Federal reporting into an efficient process for quality improvement. The State of Hawaii Department of Health and NY Presbyterian Hospital’s Comprehensive HIV Program (NYP) share their perspectives as a State Part B grantee and a large medical provider respectively. Leveraging resources from SPNS, the State of Hawaii presents the success story of its Statewide RSR- and ADR-ready eCOMPAS system, including a discussion of how it was able to securely share its Part C clinic’s data with the Statewide network, providing important information for case managers, quality managers, and the State’s ADAP program, including the newly-required ADAP ADR. NYP presents its journey from disparate hospital systems to one integrated, real-time system that marries its EMR data with eCOMPAS, a Web-based RSR-ready system to improve operations, data quality, and care coordination.

Learning Objectives:

• Workshop participants will learn how a paradigm of health information exchange can free up time that can be better spent on client care and quality improvement.
• Participants will be able to describe how to adopt and adapt strategies and tools to implement Web-based resources to achieve Federal compliance and improved quality management.
• Participants will be able to understand the challenges and benefits of implementing health information exchange.
