In order to decrease expenditures, for instance, the KHIE board of directors will eventually relinquish control to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) <strong>by October 2013.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, the Kansas-based exchange did alleviate some of its budgetary woes after reporting population health data to the CDC for the first time, using the Informatics Corporation of America (ICA) to send anonymous patient information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Florida<br \/>\n<\/strong>Florida Governor Rick Scott hasn\u2019t been as cooperative as many would like regarding Friday\u2019s deadline \u2013 he <strong>opposes both HIEs and electronic health records<\/strong> due to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/electronic-health-records-safer-than-paper\/\">concerns over privacy and costs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Scott believes EHRs don\u2019t save costs and fears systems are too easily hacked. However, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration created the Health Information Exchange Network over three years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Massachusetts<br \/>\n<\/strong>The much venerated Massachusetts Health Information Exchange, or MassHIway, launched in October of this year. The exchange received $16.9 million in funding from Medicaid and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.<\/p>\n<p>MassHIway members can now connect using messaging-enabled EHRs and secure portals, and <strong>will soon even provide electronic patient visit summaries.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Jersey<br \/>\n<\/strong>Steadfast in his opposition, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie vetoed legislation to establish a state-run health information exchange in New Jersey. His reasoning? The <strong>federal government hasn\u2019t provided <strong>enough\u00a0<\/strong>concrete parameters for establishing HIEs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Christie said of the veto: \u201cany other action than this would be fiscally irresponsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ohio<br \/>\n<\/strong>Ohio\u2019s state-designated HIE, the Ohio Health Information Partnership, was created in 2009. The non-profit is designed to construct its own networks, while offering aid to private programs for data sharing on their system.<\/p>\n<p>The OHIP is a productive way for public and private organizations to work together, and the <strong>public HIE can help connect small private systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We obviously can\u2019t include everyone, so let us know what\u2019s going on with your home state in the comments section below!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HHS Director Kathleen Sebelius pushed back the deadline for state-run health information exchange (HIE) blueprints in a public letter last month.
