Every time a hospital admits, discharges, or transfers a patient in the state of Michigan, MiHIN receives a message. MiHIN handles millions of patient messages each week, with that volume steadily increasing. To keep pace with this growth, MiHIN needed a scalable, secure and cost-effective solution. MiHIN partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its cloud provider and AWS Premier Consulting Partner, Cloudticity.
Since migrating to the cloud, MiHIN’s whole business model has changed. Previously, it operated as a traditional health information exchange (HIE), brokering patient data to healthcare entities, but today it does much more. The cloud’s agility has allowed MiHIN to develop and deploy proprietary applications and features at a rapid scale and pace, positioning it as an innovator in the space.
Community Information Exchange (CIE) represents a localized effort to establish and sustain the infrastructure and relationships needed to address the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) needs of both individuals and communities. The CIE Committee, established by the Michigan Health Information Technology (HIT) Commission, acts as a collaborative platform to support implementing recommendations outlined by the CIE Task Force.
MiHIN is proud to announce the appointment of Kim Bachelder, Director of Government Accounts, to the Committee. The Committee's primary objectives include identifying and addressing barriers to CIE adoption, gathering stakeholder input, advocating for supportive policies, and developing a framework for CIE governance.
MiHIN convened diverse, multi-sector stakeholders across Michigan for a three-part series designed to understand the current, complex landscape of medication reconciliation and work to develop a solution through the Advanced Statewide Medication Reconciliation Workshop Series.
Pharmacists, payers, and others within the healthcare ecosystem identified key challenges related to ways medication reconciliation is currently handled, and then, with these in mind, the workshop shifted focus to potential pilot projects that could address the current barriers.
The Social Care Co-Design Report, a project of the Gravity Project Implementation workstream through partnership with Civitas Networks for Health and facilitated by HealthBegins, represents a significant advancement in the integration of health and social care.
MiHIN Board Member Janée Tyus, MPH, and Michael Klinkman, M.D., M.S., Consulting Medical Director for MiHIN's Cross Sector Data Sharing Program, were part of the Social Care Perspectives Workgroup that engaged in this work.
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) released the much-anticipated Version 2.0 of the Common Agreement.
Key changes in Version 2.0 include:
Facilitated FHIR exchange between Participants and Sub participants in addition to QHIN-to-QHIN IHE exchange.
Static Participant/Sub participant Terms of Participation. Participants and Sub participants may conduct TEFCA Exchange in multiple QHINs using multiple Nodes.
The Michigan health informatics landscape is undergoing a transformation, and the Interoperability Institute is proud to support the Michigan Health Interoperability Virtual e-Laboratory (MiHIVE) in its mission to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the evolving field of health IT.
