• Provide an electronic summary of care record for more than 10 percent of transitions of care and referrals; and

CHIME StateNet to Tackle Patient Matching, Consent Policy through New Workgroups

CHIME Members and CHIME Foundation Firm members:  We would like to invite you to join our StateNet workgroups!  We are looking for health IT stakeholders with experience working on patient matching and consent policy.  The workgroups will have a teleconference/phone call component and an online component through CIO StateNet.  After joining StateNet, we invite you to join the Patient Matching Group and/or the Consent Policy Group.  To begin, each workgroup will perform an environmental scan to better understand where gaps in policy and technology exist.  Then, each group will evaluate existing or possible solutions for recommendation to the StateNet Board.

In the coming weeks, we will be inviting vendors, HIEs, RECs, and other stakeholders to join these groups.  Please invite any colleagues you have that have experience with these issues.  To come up with viable solutions, we need insight from all stakeholders.
