Description: As electronic health information exchange becomes more prevalent, in what ways can we engage and educate consumers? The HISPC Consumer Education and Engagement Collaborative presentation will address how diverse states have worked with consumer groups to develop materials regarding health IT and electronic health information exchange and how you can use those materials and information to improve your ability to reach and teach consumers. Focus areas include: communication and media, policy development, working with targeted audiences, video creation, and glossaries and inventories. Whether your state or organization is large, small, urban, or rural this seminar will offer "shovel-ready" solutions for you to customize or use.

Description:The Provider Education Collaborative developed an online toolkit of materials to introduce electronic health information exchange to health care providers, and increase their awareness of the privacy and security benefits and challenges of electronic health information exchange. The collaborative presentation will discuss how the materials were created, lessons learned, and how other states and organizations can use the materials. The Collaborative will also provide a demonstration of the Provider Toolkit website. In addition, various states involved in the creation of the toolkit will discuss adapting and disseminating the toolkit materials within their local health care provider groups.
Thursday June 11, 2009 2:00pm	Interstate Disclosure and Patient Consent Requirements	https://hispc-events.webex.com/hispc-events/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=664828030
Description: The Interstate Disclosure and Patient Consent Requirements Collaborative presentation will discuss how and why organizations can use the templates and final report that the collaborative developed to understand consent and disclosure requirements.  The templates can assist organizations in documenting their own state’s laws and HIO policies related to consent, while the final report offers a range of options for potential next steps to reconcile varying state consent laws.
Tuesday June 16, 2009 2:00pm	Harmonizing State Privacy Law	https://hispc-events.webex.com/hispc-events/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=666327949
Description: The Harmonizing State Privacy Law Collaborative worked to advance the ability of states and territories to analyze and reform, if appropriate, their existing laws related to electronic health information exchange.  The collaborative developed a Roadmap report as a guide for states to use to classify and analyze existing laws and to identify key areas that may require revisions as a result of electronic health information exchange. This presentation will provide an overview of the Roadmap and collaborative state experiences including an introduction to the Comparative Analysis Matrix (CAM) and the Assessment Tool, and the online crosswalk (automated CAM).
Thursday June 18, 2009 2:00pm	Intrastate and Interstate Consent Policy Options	https://hispc-events.webex.com/hispc-events/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=668104333
Description:The Intrastate and Interstate Consent Policy Options Collaborative presentation will review the findings of their research to: (1) examine the relative utility of select legal mechanisms that states might enact to facilitate interstate health information exchange (HIE), and to provide states with tools and resources that would assist them in evaluating which, if any of, such mechanisms their state could successfully employ; and (2) examine a variety of consent policy alternatives, and to develop tools and resources that other states and health care stakeholders could use to determine what amount of choice consumers in their states should be able to exercise about the electronic access to, and use and disclosure of, their personally identifying health information.  This presentation will discuss the process and tools used by the Collaborative to conduct the intrastate and interstate consent analyses, and it will describe how other states can use the Collaborative’s tools to conduct their own evaluations.
Tuesday June 23, 2009 2:00pm	Adoption of Standard Policies	https://hispc-events.webex.com/hispc-events/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=661608072
Description: The Adoption of Standard Policies Collaborative will be presenting the tools they developed during the project, including the Uniform Security Policy and the Guide to Adoption of the Uniform Security Policy as it relates to authentication and audit. It will also highlight the importance of these products in advancing health information exchange and explain how your state might use the Guide to adopt the Uniform Security Policy within your organization. The lessons learned in this process will help to inform your current and future efforts to establish comprehensive standard security policies that can be incorporated into contractual agreements to support secure health information exchange.
Thursday June 25, 2009 2:00pm	State Law Analysis Project and Database	https://hispc-events.webex.com/hispc-events/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=666846525
Description: Georgetown University worked with RTI to research the laws in all 56 states and territories that govern the exchange of lab data, the access of individuals to their protected health information, the disclosure of that information to various entities, and the laws (including Medicaid statutes) governing transmission of prescriptions. Under this project, a total of four reports are expected and a database has been built which contains the data collected around disclosure laws, including laboratory disclosures. Work is ongoing to make this database publicly available on the HHS health IT website.
Tuesday June 30, 2009 2:00pm	Interorganizational Agreements	https://hispc-events.webex.com/hispc-events/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=660013786
Description: The Interorganizational Agreements (IOA) Collaborative developed public and private model data sharing agreements (DSAs) containing consistent privacy and security provisions to support electronic HIE across state lines. The IOA reviewed agreements from across the nation, conducted pilot tests, and vetted the model DSAs to assess their application in real data exchange projects. This presentation will discuss the national relevance for the development and implementation of DSAs, the process used by the IOA collaborative for developing the model agreements, as well as an overview of the pilot projects used to test the model DSAs. The IOA collaborative will explain how other entities can use the IOA documents and work products in establishing electronic HIE’s.
