Detailed Description
New York State has awarded grants to several regional health information exchange organizations (RHIOs), organizations established to create the technical and policy infrastructure needed to exchange health data between providers, payers, and public health agencies within a particular geographic region, to build an interoperable system for people to manage their own health information. Two of these grant recipients are the Brooklyn Health Information Exchange (BHIX) and Long Island Patient Information Xchange (LIPIX).
Since no off-the shelf technology currently exists to create such a system, BHIX is working with a commercial vendor to develop a unique system that is tailored toward the needs of their consumers and providers, while LIPIX is developing their own unique system in-house. Both BHIX's and LIPIX's interoperable personal health management systems will offer various features to consumers and providers in their community. Consumers may be able to perform tasks such as viewing their lab results, scheduling an appointment, or sending a message directly to their physician through a SMS. Conversely, the PHR can also allow physicians to engage in communications with their patient, release data to their patient(s) (e.g. lab test result); and view patient inputted-data.
The usage patterns of these personal health managements systems is not well understood (Ralson et al., 2009; Kim et al., 2007). Understanding consumers and providers' use of these interoperable systems can help aid in improving current systems and developing future systems.
Specific Aims
The specific aims of this study are to describe the usage of BHIX's and LIPIX's novel interoperable personal health management systems, specifically:
- To quantify adoption of and frequency of use of novel technological platforms designed to give consumers (patients) access to RHIO-based health information exchange (HIE) data;
- To quantify usage of HIE-specific data elements within these platforms;
- To explore associations between usage and user demographics/clinical characteristics;
- To explore trends in usage over time.

Consumers
Consumers (patients or their designated proxies) who have registered to use the personal health management technology platform offered by the Brooklyn Health Information Xchange (BHIX) or Long Island Patient Information Xchange (LIPIX).
|
BHIX and LIPIX are offering novel personal health management system to members of its community.
These community members, also referred to as consumers, will include patients & their designated proxies.
BHIX's system will allow patients to perform various tasks, including, but not limited to, viewing medications, medical allergies and lab results.
LIPIX's system is primarily a mechanism forc consumers/patients to communicate directly with their physician through a secure messaging portal.
Healthcare providers of these patients, who are affiliated with BHIX, will also be able to view the data entered by consumers in this personal health management system through the RHIO's health information exchange.
Thus, the intervention of a personal health management system is being offered to both groups, however in different forms.
|
Providers
Providers who are authorized to view the data entered by consumers in either (1) BHIX's personal health management system, along with BHIX health information exchange data; OR LIPIX's secure messaging system (SMS), along with LIPIX health information exchange data.
