Business Wire
Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS) and Florida Hospital-Adventist
and Strategic Health Intelligence will demonstrate an open-source,
standards-based information exchange created to connect Florida
healthcare providers at the HIMSS12 Interoperability Showcase,
February 21-23 at the Venetian Sands Expo Center, Las Vegas.
The information exchange offers two distinct, yet complementary
services:
- Patient Look-up (PLU), a
query-and-retrieve “pull” exchange based on the Nationwide Health
Information Network CONNECT standards; and
- Direct Secure Messaging (DSM), an
encrypted email “push” service based on Direct protocols.
These capabilities will be showcased in the Office of the
National Coordinator (ONC) area of the HIMSS12 Interoperability
Showcase, Booth 11000, Hall G, February 21-23, 2012, in Las
Vegas.
“The Florida HIE demonstrates how Harris is advancing healthcare
by implementing ONC standards throughout the state of Florida,”
said Jim Traficant, president, Harris Healthcare Solutions. “The
Florida HIE shows how health care organizations can exchange health
information securely across an array of provider systems to enhance
care quality and efficiency.”
Harris’ experience with the Florida HIE dates back to December
2010 when Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA)
awarded Harris a four-year, $19 million contract to develop a
statewide HIE capable of supporting data sharing requirements for
meaningful use of electronic health records.
The Florida HIE went live in July 2011 with DSM, a secure
communications network that relies on Direct Project standards and
a participant directory. The Florida HIE has since deployed its PLU
Service, which reflects Florida’s implementation of ONC’s CONNECT
standard. More than 9,000 physicians who care for Florida’s
patients can now log into an EHR or HIE portal, look up a patient
by demographic criteria and choose which records to access and
view.
Harris also will co-present with the AHCA at a HIMSS12
educational session entitled, “Florida State Health Information
Exchange: Lessons Learned,” on February 21 at 11 a.m. - 12 p.m., at
Lando 4306, in the Venetian Sands Expo Center. The session will
cover the procurement, implementation and deployment phases of the
Florida HIE’s development, including decisions related to policy,
consent, technical implementation and sustainability.
Harris will demonstrate its complete product portfolio in Booth
834 throughout HIMSS12. Visit www.harris-is.com/himss12 for more
