After more than 15 years of creating and pushing health IT innovations forward in the state, the Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative has completed its final dissolution. Before dissolving , MAeHC had assigned its contract with the New England Healthcare Exchange Network to the Massachusetts HealthData Consortium.
This week I had a chance to attend the eHealth Exchange Annual meeting to learn more about what’s happening with their network along with a wide variety of inteorperability topics. The conference covered a wide range of topics from public health to TEFCA and everything in between. This roadmap illustrates some of that sentiment.
The following is a guest article by Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange Change is scary. At eHealth Exchange, which is one of the first Qualified Health Information Networks™ (QHINs™) under TEFCA, we have a front-row seat to the framework’s ongoing implementation. But we believe that is a mistake.
While that may not affect an individual patient whose data is included in the data set, it affects patient outcomes overall because it allows us to analyze the data and provide early interventions and programs. Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange Keeping patient data safe and private is our top priority.
News HHS designated two more QHINs : CommonWell Health Alliance and Kno2. eHealth Exchange is launching an incentive program that will waive annual fees for three years to the first five HIEs or state/local public health agencies that agree to exchange public healthdata.
This is a big step forward for QHINs who can now start sharing healthdata. HTI-1 Final Rule Appropriately, we’ve been breaking down what health IT and EHR vendors need to expect when it comes to HTI-1 in our Healthcare Regulatory Talk series.
They partner closely with clients there to implement their cloud-based Sunrise EHR , their dbMotion data integration platform, and more. For example, how are they addressing interoperability of healthdata across the provinces in Canada.
A New York HIE has concluded that it’s having the impact supporters of data sharing have always hoped for – generating a substantial level of healthcare savings.

Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange We continue to move closer to realizing the dream of complete interoperability, and TEFCA is a big part of that. With TEFCA, Designated QHINs are the dynamic force in the seamless sharing of healthdata among healthcare industry providers and organizations to improve patient outcomes.
The following is a guest article by Jay Nakashima, Executive Director at eHealth Exchange. For the health IT community, 2022 has been a big year. . Currently, perhaps 99% of healthdata exchange is initiated to support treatment. Does the Exchange Allow Participants Full Control Over Their Data?

Today, we’re featuring the Data Scientist position that was recently posted on Healthcare IT Central. This position was posted by New York eHealth Collaborative and is in New York.
Given the nation’s lack of lab data standards, there are 40 different ways to code a negative PCR test result. Andy Oram discussed how adopting FHIR should be a no-brainer for better public healthdata collection and sharing – and how that must be followed up with standards for what data should be collected and shared.
TEFCA exchanges pave a way for sharing of data among broader national networks and scale up the successful local model of interoperability which has worked in the last few years. FHIR enables seamless data exchange by providing a standard for electronic health records (EHRs), while blockchain ensures secure and transparent transactions.
The thing is, the job they’ve learned to do – serving as an exchange point for any and all data coming their way – may already be outmoded, according to Claudia […]. After years of evolving and struggling to find a solid business model, HIEs have finally found a reasonably secure place in the healthcare system.

While we love being right, we must admit it feels a little unsatisfying as TEFCA, in its current state, won’t move us much beyond what is already available via Carequality, eHealth Exchange, and CommonWell. All these solutions will require data exchange and integration between legacy EHRs, digital health solutions, and the cloud.
Unlike an HIE, Traverse does not store any healthdata. Instead, it uses a federated approach where the data remains in the source system. For years they have been helping provider organizations across the country with different digital health solutions. Here’s how it works.
Answers included making sense of unstructured data, reducing documentation, and predicting utilization trends – all based on the notion of using AI to aid healthcare workers and not replace them. Read more… Navigating Population HealthData and HEDIS in an Ambulatory Practice.
