When Capitol Health Associates was brought in to run the Idaho Health Data Exchange, one of the biggest challenges was overcoming the lack of confidence from Idaho s stakeholders in the HIE s ability to deliver complete and reliable data.
THE PROBLEM
To meet the needs of Idaho s providers, payers and other organizations, the top priority was to deliver a longitudinal health record that stakeholders could trust to achieve care management, performance measurement and quality improvement. Step one was implementing a proven identity-resolution solution, which is at the heart of providing reliable health information.
IHDE needed to establish a unique patient ID for every enrolled individual who has records in the HIE, said Dr. Craig Jones, chief medical officer at Idaho Health Data Exchange.
