HISPC Phase 2 – 2007 - 2008

The second HISPC Project was focused on implementation of a recommendation from Phase 1. It was a six month project conducted through December 2007 with 42 states and 2 territories participating. The scope was for each state to implement a critical state-specific solution identified during the Phase 1 assessment and findings, and to develop plans for multi-state collaboration in an anticipated HISPC Phase 3.

On the nationwide level:
  • 34 states produced a multitude of state-specific deliverable, including reports,  videos, websites model agreements, model forms and educational toolkits
  • 42 states/territories submitted proposals to participate in the Phase 3 Collaborative work groups.
For Massachusetts HISPC the focus was Consent Management:
  • A uniquely descriptive consensus driven work product was developed that detailed logical paths of information flow with the needed consent check points required to move PHI (permit disclosure) including the legal privacy requirements and community preferences or practices – both entity and patient.
  • The information flow was situation/case driven
  • It mapped the logic flow to manage the interplay of rules and preferences
  • It confirmed the complexity of inter-dependencies and hierarchical decision making that exists currently in the decision to “correctly” disclose PHI.
  • It confirmed that the challenge is not the laws, rather it is at the community entity level, where the need to capture consent is diverse and dynamic
