“NeHC is offering a Special National Health IT Week Stakeholder Forum on Multi-Party Legal Agreements for Health Information Exchange as an opportunity for all stakeholders, especially state decision makers, to understand how multi-party legal agreements can be effective for data-sharing at the state level.
Trust Framework
“This session is intended to provide decision makers and others with a foundational legal concept for understanding potential applications of multi-party data-sharing agreements. The Data Use and Reciprocal Services Agreement (DURSA) used by the NHIN Exchange will be presented as a case study in the development of multi-party agreements and participants will learn about those aspects of the DURSA that may be applicable to state level agreements.
“Experts from the ONC Office of Policy and Planning and the ONC Office of State and Community Programs, as well as the State-Level HIE Project led by the AHIMA Foundation (technical assistance provider to state HIE grantees), will be on hand to answer questions from stakeholders and participate in the discussion.
“LEARNING OBJECTIVES: By participating in this Stakeholder Forum, participants will:
- Learn about the pros and cons of multi-party legal data-sharing agreements for health information exchange
- Learn about aspects of the DURSA that may impact HIE development for states
- Take away information that will inform state-level plans to consider participation in interstate HIE or the NHIN Exchange”
