The Department of Health and Human Services has awarded grants to enable six additional organizations to participate in trial implementations of the national health information network.
The grants total approximately $600,000. The six organizations are:
* HealthLINC/Bloomington (Ind.) Hospital, serving 367,000 residents in a 10-county region of South Central Indiana.
* Cleveland Clinic with 10 hospitals and 13 community health centers in the region.
* Community Health Information Collaborative in Duluth, Minn., comprising provider organizations, schools and public health agencies serving 650,000 patients in 18 rural counties.
* HealthBridge, a health information exchange serving the tri-state region around Cincinnati.
* Kaiser Permanente, an Oakland, Calif.-based provider/payer organization serving 8.7 million members in 10 states and the District of Columbia.
* Wright State University/Healthlink RHIO in Dayton, Ohio, serving a population of more than 500,000.
Participants in the trials will implement and test NHIN specifications and demonstrate connectivity to others, according to HHS. They also will demonstrate core services to support four principal outcomes: patient lookup and information retrieval; secure information routing and delivery of data, including a summary patient record; provision of data for population management uses; and consumer managed access to appropriate information.
