The driver of this plan began with the FHIN Grants Program and continues with the Regional Health Information Organizations in local communities around Florida, efforts by the Agency for Health Care Administration and the new Point of Care Model Electronic Health Records Grants Program.
The final goal of the Florida Health Information Network is to integrate Florida’s Regional Health Information Networks in a seamless health information exchange. The success of the statewide network depends on the long term sustainability of each local RHIO, and their collective ability to work together to achieve a common goal of exchanging medical records for the benefit of patients across the state.
The latest initiatives of the Agency for Health Care Administration, in support of health information exchange, are the development of the Point of Care Model Electronic Health Records Grants Program, the Florida e-Prescribe Clearinghouse and the Privacy and Security Resource Center.
Some documents of interest to the development of the Florida Health Information Network are provided below:
