RHIOs: Santa Barbara pulls the plug
EHR Connection, March 9, 2007
Santa Barbara, CA-based County Care Data Exchange has ceased operations. Albert Kwyi, CIO at Cottage Health System in Santa Barbara talked about the data exchange's demise during a session at the Health Information Management Systems Society conference last month in New Orleans. This announcement was news to many attendees.
The data exchange's governing body folded on Dec. 31, 2006. Political, not technical challenges, were behind the downfall, Kwyi said. This project had gained some notoriety because of its early association with David Brailer, MD, PhD, the former national coordinator for health IT. Unresolved problems around data ownership and privacy weighed down the effort, said Kwyi.
