National eHealth Collaborative Stakeholder Forum - Legal Agreements for Health Information Exchange: What is the Right Model for My State? |
Date: June 16, 2010
Location: Ronald Reagan Trade Center – International Gateway Room (and online) NeHC offered 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.
This session provided 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 was presented as a case study in the development of multi-party agreements and participants learned 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), were on hand to answer questions from stakeholders and participate in the discussion.
