Project Analysis
Health information exchange (HIE) is a vital aspect of communication and the interaction between different medical practitioners and their patients. Under the HIE system doctors, pharmacists, nurses and other medical practitioners can access and securely share patient medical records and information. The sharing of medical information is through HIE observes safety, quality, speed, and cost of patient care. Equally important, the success and effectiveness of the HIE are dependent on the process design and a project application architecture. The HIE project is implemented in stages and thus individuals involved in the project need to consider the appropriate tools of the system, data, processes, interfaces, and networks in the interest of having a successful project. The different aspects need to be considered to ensure that the project is implemented in stages and processes. The success of the HIE project is dependent on the process design and application architecture with the incorporation of networks, interfaces, processes, data and tools of the system.
Analyze the tools of systems analysis to describe the work-related information system’s architecture
Different tools and specifications are needed in the creation of Health Information exchange in a new institution. The tools, in this case, include the creation of the business requirements, components, technology architecture, privacy and security considerations, standards and components. The tools required for business management include the analysis report, design specification, and master provide directory (McCarthy et al., 2014). The tools, in this case, ensure that the medical operations are in terms of the exchange of medical information between medical practitioners and the patients. Under the HIE technology Architecture, the governance process considers different design options as well as creating consensus-based strategies by the architecture review board. The governance is guided by different principles that include interchangeability, adaptability and considering the standard-based implementation of processes. The tool for security and privacy architecture includes the policies and resources to protect personal health information.
Analyze the data
The HIE system and architecture handles different data on the patient information to ensure that it is handled and managed in the best way possible. Health information organizations, medical facilities are tasked with overseeing and governing storing and exchange of data in line with the national standards (Dixon, McGowan and Grannis, 2011). The main purpose of HIE is to promote an appropriate and secure retrieval of patient’s health records and managing it or sharing it to the relevant parties while observing security, quality, cost and speed of operations and sharing. In this case, the e-Health Exchange ensures that health records and information is shared effectively among different organizations, match patient data to ensure data is exchanged appropriates.
Analyze the processes
The success of the HIE is achieved through processes and stages of implementation to achieve the different data management goals and objectives. The process starts with concerned parties such as the medical practitioners of Electronic Medical Records contacting the Health Information Exchange on different purposes regarding the patient health records (Dixon, McGowan and Grannis, 2011). The HIE notifies the interested party of the receipt of the requests. HIE evaluates the request for the practitioners or medical organization. The patient medical records and information are a sensitive issue and must be evaluated to ensure that the interest of the patients is protected and upheld. Therefore the HIE makes decisions in the interest of the patient. HIE decides on the sending/sharing of patient information or declines the request based on the safety and interest of the patient. In the case, the request is declined HIE writes to the interested party on the reasons behind the decline of the request. The HIE operations are based on processes and stages to ensure that the right decisions are goals and objectives are achieved by making informed decisions on storing and sharing patient health information/records.
Analyze the interfaces
HIE interfaces ensure the connection and exchange of health information and data between different parties. The interfaces enhance the creation of the network architecture development services for public and private health information exchanges (Huang, Behara and Goo, 2014). The HIE interface development provides software solutions that ensure the real-time sharing of medical and patient data between healthcare networks and disparate clinical information systems including Regional Health Information Organization and Accountable Care Organizations. The pMD software system operated under the HIE links with medical and hospital billing systems and significant electronic medical records that make it possible to share and manage patient data with different medical organizations in the interest of the patient.
Analyze the networks
HIE networks enhance the interaction and exchange of patient information with different organizations of interest. The network makes it possible for the HIE to have the capability of moving clinical information between different health care information systems (Huang, Behara and Goo, 2014). For instance, the XDS network operated by the HIE ensures that health information is shared and managed electronically between organizations and within a region. Therefore, the HIE network links different health care organizations in the interest of sharing medical information between different parties of interest.
Conclusion
Health Information Exchange takes the process of sharing medical information concerning patients to different medical organizations of interest. Different tools and architecture designs under the HIE are designed to meet different objective s of sharing patient records. The sharing and management of patient information under the HIE are done in the process to ensure an effective decision is made in the interest of the patients. The HIE interfaces and networks link HIE with different medical organizations of interest to achieve effectiveness and efficiency in the sharing of health information.
