Question

The HITECH Act (2009) mandated the HIT implementation by providers as Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems which would then be interconnected regionally to exchange health information (HIE) among providers within a certain geographic area - city or state. Most cities and states have implemented HIEs for the benefit of their members.

How has HIE implementation affected the LTC (long-term care) facilities in their care delivery?

(hint: Care Coordination) What benefits LTCs can reap by joining HIEs? What have been the LTC-specific barriers to joining HIEs? Why? What recommendations would you make for encouraging LTCs to join HIEs? What suggestion would you give to the city/ state to help LTCs join HIEs?
