Health Information exchanges

Review the article that is attached below

Prepare a written assignment covering the following:

· Examine and describe the HIM professional’s role in assuring that HIE use complies with HIPAA.

· Evaluate a HIM professional’s needed competencies for building success in cooperating as a health care organization with an HIE and HIO, as described in the article. Provide at least two examples of how you would use needed competencies in a health care setting as your organization decides it is ready to participate, or not ready to participate, in the regional HIE.

· Evaluate ways that patients might have concerns about a new data sharing method. Draft a communications tool to use with our hospital or clinic’s patients and families for explaining why and how we participate in a regional medical records-sharing HIE. This communication tool can be in the form of a memo written with patients as the intended audience, or a PowerPoint presentation to use for an open-to-the-public presentation to families, patients, and the media. Indicate how a patient’s information may be used and disclosed for the HIE. Include specific benefits to the patient of our clinic sharing their private health information with other health care providers. Include information on the privacy and security protections that are pertinent. Graphic creativity is also encouraged to gain your audience’s attention!

Your completed assignment should be 3 pages in length. APA format

For this assignment tips: Patients do not need to know how much on what the ONC is for ex: or a lot of technical details. They will want to know how this affects them and their data. Organizations calledRHIOs-- regional health information organizations-- are sometimes formed to help bring together these HIEs.  It is a complicated process.
