A new online toolkit from the eHealth Initiative (eHI) will help communities connect to a health information exchange, the non-profit health information technology (HIT) advocacy group reports. The Connecting Communities Toolkit takes users through a step-by-step process of HIT connectivity with the following seven modules:

• Getting started
• Organization and governance
• Value creation and financing
• Practice transformation
• Policies for information sharing
• Technology
• Public policy and advocacy

It supplies principles, roadmaps, case studies, tools, and resources-and is updated weekly. Experts, working groups, communities, and organizations directly involved in health information exchange worked together to develop the toolkit.

"The toolkit is designed to be a living, breathing, constantly improving resource," says Janet Marchibroda, MBA, CEO of eHI. "Now states, regions, or communities can use one or more modules to move forward with confidence and at a more rapid pace." Click here to see the toolkit and learn more.
