Blueprint offers guidance for health information exchange
EHR Connection, October 15, 2007
The nonprofit eHealth Initiative, a coalition of nearly 200 organizations, released the eHealth Initiative Blueprint: Building Consensus for Common Action, which the group described as "a multi-stakeholder consensus on a shared vision and a set of principles, strategies and actions for improving health and healthcare through information and information technology (IT)" in its October 10 announcement.
The Blueprint is the result of a collaborative process designed to offer guidance on how to improve healthcare by using health IT and health information exchange. The document catalogs current activities and provides consensus-based guiding principles as well as practical strategies and a proposed timeline for implementation.
Participants and contributors to the project included clinicians, consumers, employers, healthcare purchasers, healthcare IT suppliers, health plans, hospitals and other providers, laboratories, the life sciences industry, pharmacies, public health agencies, and state and regional leaders.
The e-Health Initiative and its Foundation share the goal of improving the quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare through information and information technology.
