HCMG 3331 - Health Information Exchange
Credit Hours: 3
This course introduces health information exchange (HIE), the electronic transfer of administrative and clinical information among healthcare organizations. Students examine strategic, organizational, legal, technical, and sociopolitical aspects of HIE initiatives in the U.S. and abroad, including their impact on healthcare quality, safety, efficiency, and financial sustainability. Emphasis will be placed on the organizational demands and healthcare user needs. It is designed to address issues related to the exchange of clinical data across multiple healthcare environments. Special focus is placed on current Federal and State health information technology standards, privacy and security regulations specifically related to the protection of patient information. Students will work in teams to discuss current trends and challenges, best practices for health information systems, and health information standards pertinent to the field of healthcare in order to create an HIE model. Student group work will include a submission of a detailed plan for a regional Health Information Exchange model as well as a PowerPoint or similar presentation summarizing the plan highlights.
