Projects highlight how to connect through the NHIN

The Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) set of standards, services and policies have been evolving through the years. In addition to funding statewide health information exchanges (HIEs), the federal government is touting connectivity using the NHIN.

Education session 20, “HIE Connectivity Using the NHIN: Lessons from the SSA, C-HIEP and NHIN Projects,” Thursday at 11:30 AM-12:30 PM CST highlights real-world interoperability projects that have successfully enabled entities to exchange patient data.

Todd Rowland, MD, executive director of HealthLINC, and Rodney Cain, chief technology architect of HealthBridge, will discuss their respective HIE projects, which include collaborating with the Social Security Administration and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, among other federal and private-sector partners.

The projects range from the NHIN Prototype Architecture, CMS’ CARE Health Information Exchange Project (C-HIEP) and SSA’s electronic disability determination.
