Through
its annual survey of state, regional and community-based
health information exchange initiatives and organizations,
the Foundation for eHealth initiative tracks the
efforts of health information exchange efforts
across the US, including several components that
would support homeland security and emergency
preparedness efforts.
For
example, the annual survey, (which included 109
state, regional, and community-based efforts in
2005) tracks the following:
-The
functionalities of each HIE effort (including
public health surveillance);
-The
types of data being exchanged (e.g., diagnoses,
laboratory results, medication histories, etc.);
-Stakeholders
who are engaged in the HIE effort (including state
and local public health agencies). |
|
The
results of the Foundation for eHealth Initiative’s
annual survey, the learning of funded communities,
the rapidly growing coalition of state, regional,
and community-based initiatives engaged in the
Connecting Communities coalition, and the common
principles and tools for health information exchange
that are being developed and disseminated, can
all play a critical role in federal, state, or
local emergency planning efforts. |

The
Ambulatory Electronic Medical Record is used in
conjunction with FHS acute care electronic medical
record so that Emergency Department physicians
and caregivers will have immediate access to patient’s
recent ambulatory records thus expediting diagnosis
and treatment. The AEMR serves as an analytical
repository for bio-surveillance and provides aggregate
analysis. It also provides automated tracking
of immunization and is used for monitoring disease
patterns and patient volumes in physician and
clinic offices.
The
data enable atypical disease cluster identification
to support reporting to FHS for communication
to the Minnesota Department of Health and Centers
for Disease Control, as appropriate. |
