SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
‘‘Overcoming Barriers to Expanded
Health Information Exchange (HIE)
Participation in Indiana.’’
AHRQ, through its contractor, the
Regenstrief Institute at Indiana
University, proposes to assess the
barriers to participation in health
information exchange (HIE) in Indiana.
The Regenstrief Institute will use its
experience to date working with a
variety of organizations to establish
specific barriers to engagement in HIE
cited by stakeholders, define the barriers
and evaluate them.
The Regenstrief Institute will develop
and implement a questionnaire and
survey process to identify barriers that
may exist throughout the State of
Indiana to participation in the Indiana
Network of Patient Care (INPC). The
INPC is a local health information
infrastructure that includes information
from five major hospital systems (fifteen
separate hospitals), the county and State
public health departments, and Indiana
Medicaid and RxHub. The INPC began
operation seven years ago and is one of
the first examples of a local health
information infrastructure.
This research will elicit and aggregate
feedback from large and small physician
groups, as well as hospitals, throughout
the State of Indiana. The goal is to
identify the gaps in understanding,
barriers and disconnects that may exist
with providers’ adoption of, and
membership in, the INPC. The
relationship between the stakeholders
involved in the Indiana HIE is governed
by a contract between the participants.
The Regenstrief Institute, acting on
behalf of the participants, created and
operates the exchange, including
serving as the custodian of the data.
The Regenstrief Institute will survey
three key stakeholder groups in the
State of Indiana: Small hospitals, small
physician practices (less than 5
providers) and large physician practices
(greater than 20 providers) to identify
barriers for each of these groups to
participate in a HIE in general, and
specifically the INPC. It is difficult to
predict the barriers that will be
identified, but based on their experience
to date, anecdotal evidence suggests that
