 Mapping a Changing Healthcare Landscape: Results of a Regional Health Information
Organization Survey
Collaborative, consortium, exchange, alliance:
These are a few of the descriptive terms within the
names of the many new entities formed or forming
to securely and efficiently transmit patient information.
On a state, local, or community-wide basis,
they address issues such as patient safety, population
health improvement, cost reduction, and reporting
compliance.
RHIO-for regional health information organization
-is a well-known acronym for these entities,
one that alludes to the goal of developing a nationwide
system for exchanging health information.
Conducted by Healthcare Informatics magazine
in collaboration with the American Health
Information Management Association (AHIMA)
and the Association of Medical Directors of
Information Systems (AMDIS), with financial
support provided by McKesson and EMC, this
survey provides insights into RHIOs and can
assist people contemplating the implications of
sharing information beyond the traditional walls
of their organizations.
