Case Study Report: The State HIE Program Four Years Later: Key Findings on Grantees' Experiences from a Six-State Review.

摘要

In 2009, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) created the State Health Information Exchange (HIE) Cooperative Agreement Program (the State HIE Program), offering states and territories $564 million in funding and providing guidance for states to enable secure electronic information exchange. The purpose of the State HIE Program is to "facilitate and expand the secure, electronic movement and use of health information among organizations according to nationally recognized standards." To understand the effects of the State HIE Program on HIE progress, ONC contracted with NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC) to conduct a multi-year evaluation of the program.
