Strategies for the Exchange Sample Clauses

Strategies for the Exchange of Continuity of Care Documents‌ XxXX has worked through the contract with Orion Health to implement Direct Secure Messaging in Alaska. Orion Health is providing Health Information Service Provider (HISP) services to AeHN. XxXX has collaborated with the State HIT Program Office to identify appropriate use cases and develop training materials. The primary use case initially promoted is a referral from a primary care physician to a specialty practice. Several variations of the basic referral use case have been developed since the implementation in January 2012. As of May 15, 2012, over 300 individual mailboxes have been provisioned and over 60 unique users have exchanged live messages. Although the exact payload of each message is not available, some providers report that they are exchanging CCDs extracted from their EHR solutions. Orion Health reported in March 2012 that they would be a “self-managed HISP for DIRECT services and no longer deploy a partner for the secure communications”. Orion Health further noted that more robust reporting capabilities would be available to customers in the fall. State of Alaska participants include staff from Division of Juvenile Justice, Division of Behavioral Health, Senior Disability Services, Division of Public Health, Alaska Psychiatric Institute and the Health Information Technology office. These users are piloting the DSM solution to determine if it is a viable alternative to YouSendIt which currently supports the exchange of secure email messages. DSM offers and advantage over YouSendIt by encrypting messages as well as the attachments.
