Practically overnight, the LANES platform eliminated faxing at CSC altogether, and connected CSC electronically to community providers also using the HIE. “The HIE technology was both HIPAA- and ePHI privacy-compliant. Another telehealth benefit to HIE participation is the newfound ability to reconcile medications.
By Sandy Phillips, CIO, HIE Networks. This article is copyrighted strictly for Electronic Health Reporter. Illegal copying is prohibited. The patient was prepped and ready on the operating table when the surgeon realized he only had a report of a CT scan and would need the actual images […].
This avoids the laborious process and delays associated with calling, faxing, and contacting providers and family members. As data sharing initiatives gain momentum, including TEFCA nationally and the Data Exchange Framework in California, it’s an important reminder that data sharing advancement is more than a policy or technological discussion.
Effective Health Information Exchange (HIE) requires a secure and reliable Health Information Service Provider (HISP) infrastructure to provide HIPAA-compliant delivery of healthcare information. As the industry standard, Direct Secure Messaging continues to expand nationally.
In order to be compliant with the CoPs or CfCs [Conditions for Coverage], all providers must utilize and maintain systems/platforms that are secure, encrypted, and minimize the risks to patient privacy and confidentiality as per HIPAA regulations and the CoPs or CfCs. This is clear. until the next clarification comes along. David Harlow.
Diana Sonbay-Benli, VP & Chief Product Officer, Cognizant TriZetto Healthcare Products at Cognizant Since the advent of HIPAA, almost a career’s duration ago, we’ve focused on the safeguarding of data. HIPAA/HITECH rules have been utilized in sharing data between various entities.
So I often get frustrated when someone says that the HIE needs to become Patient Centered. There is no other purpose of an HIE besides the Patient. There is nothing in existing HIE that is "Provider-Centered". I truly feel sorry for Providers that are going out-of-their-way to use an HIE for the benefit of their Patient.
This is not strictly necessary, especially in the USA under HIPAA; as HIPAA fully allows "Treatment, Payment, and normal Operations". But lets assert that a good "Privacy by Design" step would be that the Insurance would have HIE like access only with authorization from the Patient.
There no network that I know of that provides a view of how the HIE was used to expose the Patient data. Even HIPAA acknowledged the need for the Patient to 'Amend" their data. Who requested the access? What did they ask for? What did they get? When was this? Where was this? Why did they access (PurposeOfUse)?
Subsequent statements and social media posts, summarized nicely here by Brendan Keeler, indicate the shut-off occurred in response to Particle Health users requesting data without having a legitimate Treatment use case as defined by HIPAA. Epic argued the unauthorized requests could compromise the exchange of PHI.
If you’re not sure whether you’re participating in TEFCA, contact your health information exchange (HIE), QHIN, or electronic health record (EHR) provider. This includes maintaining your existing HIE, QHIN, Carequality, or other connections, at least for now. The exact process varies from QHIN to QHIN. The Common Agreement (CA) 2.0
Compliance and certification service provider Schellman released HIPAA Express , a risk assessment tool aimed at HIPAA compliance and OCR audit workflows.

CEO Lisa Bari sat down with John to discuss why state efforts to address interoperability are as important as national efforts. Cynthia Casatelli at e4.health
One of the HIPAA-compliant solutions CyncHealth uses to exchange information is Direct Secure Messaging. Network connectivity is essential to aggregating the data required to build a complete patient record while addressing often forgotten treatment areas, such as adverse medication interactions and provider event notifications.

Some examples where BPPC are used: Connecticut HIE: For release of Privileged Care information, a consent document SHALL be registered with HITE-CT in the form of a BPPC conformant document using the Opt-in for Legally Protected Data (ALL) policy. One can't simply have a code "HIPAA" which is understood everywhere as meaning the same thing.

HIPAA Compliant. A team organization and management tool including handoff features for change of shifts and transfers of care. Cloud-based information storage, including the ability for later offloading to EHRs, HIEs and other systems. Survey and consent tools.
Is this just another HIE? The inclusion of social services organizations in the CA DxF is also unique as these entities are not recognized as healthcare providers under HIPAA and data sharing has been limited. A few features of the CA DxF set it apart from traditional health information exchanges (HIEs) and networks (HINs).
At the close of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a number of cybersecurity tips were published by OCR (the office within HHS that enforces HIPAA). HIPAA covered entities and business associates are required to assess whether encryption is a reasonable and appropriate safeguard as a means of protecting ePHI at rest (i.e.,

An ONC blog post described how the tool works: Developers answer questions about the type of health data the app will collect, the intended use of the app, and the type of entity developing the app to determine whether the app is subject to HIPAA, the information blocking rule, or other federal laws.
The traditional HIE subscriber model continues to become more complex, with challenges in achieving clinical outcomes and maintaining sustainable funding. The evolution of interoperability is happening now, and payers and providers need to be on top of TEFCA and HIE updates to provide continued clinical value.

Although we do have HIPAA, GINA, 42-CFR Part 2, and many state augmentations. Healthcare does have some unique issues, like that the data can't be revoked or recalled. The issue is somewhat unique to the USA, because of the extreme fragmented Privacy regulations.
Note that there is a difference between the activity of health information exchange (the verb) and an HIE (Health Information Exchange – the noun). A key feature of the regulations is that they apply to HIPAA Covered Entities (CEs) and Business Associates (BAs).
