  1. Getting To Yes Principles of Fair Information Practices and Consent Options for Health Information Exchange Sarah D. Young, MPH, Katharine Ryan, MPH, Jill J. Rissi, PhD, and Sherril B. Gelmon, DrPH

  2. Terminology • Health Information Exchange (HIE) • Opt-out participation • Opt-in participation

  3. Research Objectives and Methods • Population: The 50 US states • Analysis tool: the principles established in The Nationwide Privacy and Security Framework For Electronic Exchange of Individually Identifiable Health Information

  4. Principles • Individual Access • Correction • Openness and Transparency • Individual Choice • Collection, Use, and Disclosure Limitation • Data Quality and Integrity • Safeguards • Accountability ONC, 2008: Nationwide Privacy and Security Framework For Electronic Exchange of Individually Identifiable Health Information

  5. 1) Individual Access; 2) Correction • Both accomplished through medical provider • Access example: MyWellport internet portal in Massachusetts

  6. 3) Transparency; 4) Individual Choice • Complementary principles • Transparent policies: HealthInfoNet in Maine • Choice of who can access but not what: Wellport in Massachusetts

  7. 5) Collection, Use, and Disclosure Limitation • Varies from one state to another • Unique limitation: explicit patient permission required at every visit in Minnesota

  8. 6) Data Quality and Integrity • Centralized HealthInfoNet in Maine • vs. • Federated MN HIE in Minnesota • Who is responsible?

  9. 7) Safeguards; 8) Accountability • Safeguards based almost entirely on federal regulations • Statutory accountability: SF 2974 passed in the 2010 Minnesota legislative session

  10. Conclusions • The principles can be used to compare state HIEs • Adherence varies considerably among states and this could prove a barrier to interstate HIE • State policy makers face challenges in attempting to apply a paper statutory framework to an electronic environment

  11. Funding • This paper is one of a series prepared for the Office for Oregon Health Policy and Research, Oregon Health Authority, through funding from a Medicaid Transformation Grant to the State of Oregon from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
