*NHIN-HISPC-SLHIE Joint Forum:  Fostering Partnerships to Advance Health 
Information Exchange*



4/30/2008 – 5/2/2008



The Joint Forum includes participants from three Office of the National 
Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) led contracts, the 
Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN), the Health Information 
Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC), and the State Level Health 
Information Exchange Consensus Project (SLHIE).  For three days 
representatives from each of these contracts will share the stage, their 
knowledge, and expertise.



·                           NHIN – As a key element of the national 
health information technology strategy, the advancement of the NHIN 
initiative will provide the foundation for interoperable, secure and 
standards-based health information exchange nationally.



·                           HISPC – As a collaborative effort of more 
than 40 states and territories, the HISPC is focused on developing 
common, replicable multi-state solutions to the privacy and security 
challenges states and territories face nationwide with respect to 
electronic health information exchange.



·                           SLHIE – Lead by a steering committee of 
thirteen state HIE leaders and supported by a broader forum of states, 
the SLHIE project is developing guiding principles for state-level HIE 
organizations in the areas of policy, sustainability and accountability.



The Joint Forum will:



·                           Enable cross-project discussion of important 
topics pertinent to each effort including consumer permissions, HIE 
policies, and sustainability;

·                           Advance discussions and develop clarity on 
how the trial implementations are addressing key aspects of 
standards-based, private and secure information exchanges via the NHIN;

·                           Enlist public input and share experiences 
from state and regional health information exchanges as they implement 
and test trial implementations of the NHIN;

·                           Discuss how the work of Healthcare 
Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) and the Certification 
Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) are being used 
to inform the NHIN trial implementations;

·                           Showcase the privacy and security approaches 
states and territories are taking to protect health information that is 
electronically exchanged; and

·                           Provide participants with a venue to share 
ideas and discuss solutions to electronic health information exchange 
challenges.



  The Joint Forum will be open to the public and includes plenary and 
concurrent breakout sessions.
