A National Survey Assessing Health Information Exchange: Readiness for Changes to Veterans Affairs Access Standards.

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: We conducted a national survey of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs), targeting both not-for profit geographic and enterprise or federated exchanges. The aim of this study is to identify current best practices when exchanging information between Veterans Affairs (VA) systems and non-VA health systems. We identified and classified current interactions between HIEs and VA systems given recent passage of the MISSION Act. The MISSION Act allows veterans to seek care outside the VA health system, necessitating the need to reconcile care planning between VA systems and private care settings. We identified several differing best practices concerning information exchange between VA health systems and HIEs and assessed capabilities for HIEs to appropriately identify eligible VA participants within extant databases.
