The Massachusetts eHealth Landscape • The Massachusetts Health Data Consortium • The New England Healthcare EDI Network • MA-SHARE • The Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative • MassPro DOQ-IT Ray Campbell, MHDC, 2007
Lessons Learned • Many aspects of eHealth are inherently multi- stakeholder • Successful multi-stakeholder initiatives require a critical mass of collaboration • Meaningful collaboration requires trust • Trust is built over time between individuals Ray Campbell, MHDC, 2007
Lessons Learned (cont.) • Success requires solving three interrelated sets of issues: technical, policy, and business • More emphasis and progress on technical issues • Mass. is doing a big push on consent management and other policy issues • Scale counts, and the “community of care” is the proper unit of organization for most HIT/HIE efforts Ray Campbell, MHDC, 2007
Lessons Learned (cont.) • Business sustainability requires offering a service that generates new revenue or avoids costs for participating members – a harsh test • Market participants are doing the HIE projects that make business sense • The job for RHIOs is to achieve sustainability by doing HIE projects that do not make business (!) Ray Campbell, MHDC, 2007
Lessons Learned (cont.) • Transformation: altruistic, centrally planned, or market driven? • The final destination is far, far away Ray Campbell, MHDC, 2007
