10 October 2023 - 4:59PM
eHealth Exchange, one of the nation’s oldest and largest health
information networks, is thrilled to announce the agenda for its
highly anticipated 2023 Annual Meeting scheduled to take place on
November 14th in San Diego, CA. This year’s event promises to be a
captivating blend of thought leadership, innovation and
collaboration among healthcare and health IT professionals,
government partners, and health information exchange stakeholders
nationwide.
In the morning keynote, Aneesh Chopra, first chief technology
officer of the United States and author, will deliver an inspiring
presentation called Innovation: Buzz Word or Action Word. Attendees
will have the opportunity to hear from the first chief information
officer of the United States (’09-’12) and the fourth Virginia
secretary of technology (’06-’09) and author of this 2014 book,
“Innovative State: How New Technologies can Transform Government”
as he shares his thoughts on innovation in health IT.
As a candidate Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) under
the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT’s (ONC’s)
Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA), eHealth
Exchange will spend ample time on its testing readiness, the
implementation timeline, and the responsibilities and expectations
for the future. Included is a session called Trickle Down TEFCA
that pulls together panelists from four of nine regional and state
health information exchanges (HIEs) who’ve expressed public intent
to participate in the anticipated eHealth Exchange QHIN. As TEFCA
go-live spreads from QHINs to Participants (such as HIEs) and
Subparticipants (such as health systems), Moderator, Board Chair,
and CEO of Civitas Networks for Health Lisa Bari will dive into the
challenges, hopes, and expectations for these traditional users of
health information exchange.
Other highlighted topics within public health include:
- FHIR for Public Health: In 2023, more than a dozen network
participants launched the FDA adverse events pilot on Fast
Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®). Hear how new
connections and use cases are going live in record time with the
right mix of organizational priorities and technical
simplicity.
- What Public Health Wants: Panelists from federal and state
public health agencies share their needs in health information
exchange and how network participants can support this critical
national infrastructure priority.
The day will round out with a closing keynote address by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Coordinator
for Health Information Technology Micky Tripathi Ph.D., M.P.P. Dr.
