Elliot M. Stone Memorial Lecture:
"Concepts for Building Inter-Organizational Systems in Healthcare: Lessons from other Industries"
Learning from Data Exchanges in Industries Outside of Health Care |
|
As the health care industry establishes regional and national
clinical data exchanges, there is much to be learned from similar
efforts in other industries, according to John Glaser, PhD,
Vice President and CIO of Partners HealthCare System.
Glaser will discuss interorganizational systems outside
of health care as he delivers the first Elliot M. Stone
Memorial Lecture at the Consortium’s 28th Annual Meeting
and Conference, addressing "Community Clinical Connectivity," on
April 28, 2006.
In his discussion of "Concepts for Building Inter-Organizational
Systems in Health Care: Lessons from other Industries,” Glaser
will give examples that illustrate the full complexity
and diversity of information exchanges.
He offered a few examples:
- Enterprise Rent-A-Car represents an interorganizational system
(IOS) built from the supplier side. In the early 1990s, Enterprise
created the Automated Rental Management System to help insurers
coordinate car repairs and find rental cars for clients involved
in accidents. With the tool, auto body shops can send direct
updates to insurers, while insurers can initiate and track rentals
from Enterprise through direct electronic gateways.
- Government also has recognized the potential of
IOSs as exemplified by the creation of the Capital
Wireless Integrated network (CapWIN). During a major
traffic gridlock in 1998 and again on 9/11, poorly
linked communications were major impediments to effective
agency responses. CapWIN -- a joint effort of Maryland,
Virginia, the District of Columbia, and the federal
government -- is the first wireless network to integrate
transportation and public safety data with voice
communication systems across multiple states.
Quality Tool
“Health information exchanges provide great promise
in our national efforts to improve health care delivery,
and the lessons of other industries creating and sustaining
inter-organizational systems can provide guidance to
the emerging efforts in health care,” said Glaser.
He predicts that there will not be a homogenous approach
to IOS development in health care, but a variety of
systems that differ along several attributes, such
as privately held vs. collectively owned, public vs.
closed, horizontal vs. vertical, and proximal vs. remote.
Glaser will discuss the goals and issues to be addressed
in forming health care IOSs and the barriers to be overcome.
Foundation Laid for ISOs
He noted that the Consortium, as “a superb convener
of regional stakeholders,” has laid the "social" foundation
of people and organizations getting to know each other
and working together to solve problems. “The MHDC also
has been a critical contributor to the formation of
the New England Healthcare EDI Network (NEHEN) and MA-SHARE,” he said.
Keith Maxwell, Technical Services Director of the
League of Community Health Centers, will introduce Glaser.
