ShareWashington State Health Information Infrastructure: Final Report & Roadmap for State Action


Washington State seeks to create a cohesive health information system. The Washington State Health Information Infrastructure Stakeholder's Advisory Committee (HIISAC) developed recommendations for consumer engagement, organization and governance, the technical infrastructure, and financing and sustainability. The HIISAC sought input from stakeholders and other interested parties to create recommendations for action. The recommendations are:

  • Complete the plan for initial implementation
     
  • Implement the first health record banks
     
  • Engage consumers in the development of health record banking
     
  • Promote electronic medical record adoption in the health care provider community
     
  • Provide funding for the 207-2009 budget period of at least $8 million to as much as $11 million to complete the initial design plan work and implementation plan, the Washington Health Information Collaborative awards, and partially fund six to eight initial implementation sites for the first health record banks
