Gubernatorial proclamation kicks off 13th annual HIE summit and celebrates the progress and promise of the secure exchange of information across Arizona’s healthcare community
PHOENIX, Ariz. (October 8, 2020) Governor Ducey has proclaimed October 11-17, 2020 as Arizona Health Information Exchange (HIE) Week to reaffirm Arizona’s commitment to promoting the secure sharing of electronic health data across a broad spectrum of the state’s healthcare landscape, including health systems and hospitals, labs, community behavioral health and physical health providers, post-acute care and hospice providers, first responders, and many others.
“We’re thankful for this proclamation, as it’s an important recognition of Arizona’s significant efforts over the last 15 years. Ultimately, the success of the HIE reflects the collaborative environment of the state’s healthcare community,” said Melissa Kotrys, CEO of Health Current, Arizona’s designated HIE. “As a result, all healthcare providers have the ability to access more complete patient information for better coordinated care—which is especially important during times of crisis. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the HIE has played a key role in delivering real-time, critical data to help minimize the impact on the Arizona healthcare community.”
The designation of Arizona HIE Week marks the 15-year anniversary of when stakeholders first gathered to share their vision for the secure exchange of electronic patient information across the state. In the same spirit of innovation and collaboration, the Arizona healthcare community will reconvene again on October 13 & 14 at ACHIEVE 2020 – the 13th Annual Health Current Virtual Summit & Trade Show.
Featuring keynote speaker Don Rucker, MD, National Coordinator, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), the virtual summit features panel discussions on multiple topics, including Arizona’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the new Arizona advance directives registry. It will also feature a variety of presentations on a range of topics, including an HIE update on new technologies and services, the latest health IT legislative and legal updates, and use cases by HIE participants. Healthcare professionals who wish to participate in some or all of the Virtual Summit sessions on October 13 & 14, are encouraged to register at: http://www.healthcurrent.org/summit.
