Connecting the Electronic Dots Among Disparate Health Providers

February 25th 2008

Barriers to sharing patient clinical data among unaffiliated hospitals, doctors and other health care providers remain high, with concerns about loss of competitive advantage and data misuse hindering provider and health plan willingness to contribute patient data to local health information exchanges, according to a study performed by the Center for Studying Health System Change (HSC) and the National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM) Foundation.

A copy of the study, “Creating Sustainable Local Health Information Exchanges: Can Barriers to Stakeholder Participation Be Overcome?” is available here.
