This white paper — designed for leaders in state agencies, hospital associations, and healthcare organizations — explores ten best practices for maximizing stimulus dollars. Initially, we offer some commentary on what a statewide HIE should look like and how to differentiate between the various pieces HITECH requires. Then, reaching back to the earliest efforts at exchange — starting with Community Health Information Networks (CHINs) of the ’80s, the Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs) of the ’90s, and the first generation HIEs of this past decade — we offer 10 best practices for building an effective HIE backbone. These suggestions have been gleaned from working in the field and analyzing the many failures littering the healthcare landscape. Finally, we will briefly review two case studies of successful HIEs in the marketplace today. These are HIEs poised to meet or exceed the HITECH Act’s three-phase adoption and implementation process.
