Group to Accredit Data Exchanges


August 18, 2008

The Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission has started developing an accreditation program for health information exchanges, regional health information organizations and other community-based networking partnerships.

EHNAC is an industry-created organization that accredits health care transactions processors. The criteria attempt to identify quality performance in such areas as privacy and confidentiality, technical performance, customer service, business practices, resources and data security. The group has accreditation programs for claims clearinghouses, value-added networks and financial institutions.

An EHNAC advisory group recently completed a white paper that paved the way for the HIE accreditation program. The organization will coordinate with other certification and accreditation organizations, including the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology, during the process.

The HIE white paper and additional information is available at ehnac.org.
