•Description of Florida Health IT Initiatives
•Explanation of Florida’s Health Information Exchange Services
•Information on Direct Secure Messaging
• Investigate which options are best for you. • Participate in opportunities to collaborate. • Integrate Health IT into your practice.
Two HIE Services
Direct Secure Messaging (DSM):• Secure, encrypted email
service• Free service• No EHR required• No special software
required
Patient Look-up and Delivery (PLU):• Connects already existing
HIE systems that meet specific requirements
• Allows users of HIE systems to obtain information on patients from other PLU participants
Investigate DSM Benefits
• Faster method of sending patient information to other providers than fax or courier
• “Read Receipt” ensures that the information sent was received
• Patient information remains secure and HIPAA compliant
Integration Into Current Workflow
Referral Transition of CareResponse to a Request from
another Provider
A pediatrician sends an DSM referral message along with any necessary patient information and lab results to a urologist for treatment
A urologist working with a children’s medical home sends a DSM message with an attached treatment summary to a hospital
A pediatric nephrologist is seeing a patient and needs a more detailed history than the patient’s guardian can provide. In response to one request from the nephrologist, the pediatrician & urologist send patient history information via DSM messages instead of the multiple pages of paper fax that it would normally take.
Initial DSM Participants
• Health care providers such as hospitals, physicians, and others may register.
• Clinical laboratories, community mental health centers, rural health clinics, hospices, and skilled nursing facilities may register.
• Florida County Health Departments and FQHCs.
The Future of DSMNext Step• Expansion of health care providers that are allowed to register:
• State Agencies that need access to patient information (AHCA; Children & Family Service; Department of Health)
• Insurers
• Increase usage by County Health Departments and Children Medical Service Offices
• Planning states for interstate transfer of patient data to assist physicians in share PHI with providers in other states
