Pride Month is a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ equality and the crucial role that healthcare plays.
Collecting and utilizing sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data can help create a more informed picture about the health of LGBTQ+ individuals. This information can help providers to better understand client or patient needs and provide relevant and appropriate care, and equip researchers, policymakers, and public health professionals to develop and tailor interventions aimed at decreasing disparities in the LGBTQ+ community.
Timely and accurate data is critical for prevention and management of chronic disease, however, limitations currently exist in the chronic disease data systems used in public health practice.
The CDC recently examined the role that MiHIN's infrastructure has played in providing critical insights for public health surveillance in managing chronic disease.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a final rule to establish penalties for healthcare providers engaging in information blocking, as authorized by the 21st Century Cures Act. Information blocking refers to practices that unreasonably interfere with the access, exchange, or use of electronic health information (EHI).
These disincentives become effective 30 days after the rule's publication, with specific measures under the Shared Savings Program applying after January 1, 2025.
To best support our network participants in the pursuit of high-quality, collaborative patient care, MiHIN is excited to announce an upgrade to its ReferralsPlus tool.
On July 17, 2024, an enhanced version of the platform will be launched, replacing your current version.
For the system to function optimally and deliver its full value to every user, timely participation from all network members is essential.
We understand change can be challenging. However, we believe the new MiHIN Referrals platform will provide significantly improved functionality and deliver the care your patients need in a collaborative way.
In this interview, Dr. Tim Pletcher sat down with Stephen Ibaraki of the ACM, Association for Computing Machinery, to talk about what spurred his interest in healthcare, the changes he's seen in the field of health IT throughout his storied career, and what he anticipates is next for the industry.
