“What is the State HIE Gap Analysis?
“The gap analysis analyzes state capacity and gaps in supporting key meaningful use requirements:
– % pharmacies accepting electronic prescribing and refill requests
– % clinical laboratories sending results electronically
– % health plans supporting electronic eligibility and claims transactions
– % health departments receiving immunizations, syndromic surveillance, and notifiable laboratory results”
“Why Do a Gap Analysis Now?
–A gap analysis is a critical part of the environmental scan
–This is critical information to design viable strategies and approaches to address the gaps in your state
–Having a baseline will allow states to monitor and document progress made in addressing HIE gaps”
“Key Objectives for 2011
– The immediate priority of the State HIE program is to ensure that all eligible providers within every state have at least one option available to meet the MU HIE requirements for 2011
–States should have a concrete and operationally feasible plan to enable three HIE capabilities in the next year:
– e-Prescribing
– Receipt of structured lab results
– Sharing patient care summaries across unaffiliated organizations”
“What Information is Required in the State HIE Gap Analysis?
“An understanding of the health information exchange currently taking place in the state”
– Baseline information, including specific measurements related to eprescribing, patient care summaries, and lab interoperability
