"In order to address the rapidly-evolving area of HIT and its intersection with quality and outcomes, NQF initiated a project to develop a set of recommendations around the measurement of HIT-related safety issues."

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Rules provide federal protections for patient health information held by Covered Entities (CEs) and Business Associates (BAs) and give patients an array of rights with respect to that information. Regulations includes the Privacy Rule, which protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information; the Security Rule, which sets national standards for the security of electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI); and the Breach Notification Rule, which requires CEs and BAs to provide notification following a breach of unsecured Protected Health Information (PHI). CEs must comply with the HIPAA Privacy,10 Security,11 and Breach Notification12 Rules. BAs must comply with the HIPAA Security Rule and Breach Notification Rule as well as certain provisions of the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

This webinar focuses on open source Electronic Health Records (EHR) for the safety net community. Open Source EHRs are systems that are either free or very low cost to implement. The presenters will provide an overview of the types of open source systems, the benefits and challenges of using open source EHRs, and how these systems can be used effectively to meet the Meaningful Use requirements and provide high quality care to meet population health needs. In addition, one speaker will present on how his rural federally qualified health center selected the use of RPMS (a free EHR system which was developed by Indian Health Service) to support its clinical services. A second presenter will talk about his health center's selection of Worldvista (Based on the Veterans Administration EHR System) and how it supports UDS reporting requirements.
