“ABSTRACT: Electronic clinical data exchange promises substantial financial and societal benefits, but it is unclear whether and when it will become widespread. In early 2007 we surveyed 145 regional health information organizations (RHIOs), the U.S. entities working to establish data exchange. Nearly one in four was likely defunct. Only twenty efforts were of at least modest size and exchanging clinical data. Most early successes involved the exchange of test results. To support themselves, thirteen RHIOs received regular fees from participating organizations, and eight were heavily dependent on grants. Our findings raise concerns about the ability of the current approach to achieve widespread electronic clinical data exchange.

“Ocean Informatics, a recognised leader in eHealth strategy, interoperability and shared electronic health records (EHR), announces a new project with the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom. The new project follows the successful completion of a pilot study, which tested content modelling as a technique for producing standardised structured clinical data specifications. NHS Connecting for Health (NHS CFH) has decided to continue to use the Ocean clinical modelling tools and openEHR archetypes and templates to help specify the information required to support safe and high quality health care across clinical systems in England. It is expected that over the next 6-9 months a national content models repository will evolve to provide significant support for the NHS in the specification of standardised content for clinical systems.”

“Many health care organizations initially used document management systems for relatively small projects. A lot of these early projects focused on meeting the needs of billing, medical records and registration departments.”
