OHN's 12 Health IT Best Practices, Part 2: Collaboration, October 17, 2011, Kim Lamb, Executive Director, Oregon Health Network and Dawn Bonder, O-HITEC and Chris Tamarin, Oregon Economic and Community Development Department.
"Once viewed as a friendly means to gain a strategic and competitive advantage, collaboration is the means to effectively address transitioning a broken health care delivery system to that of a new and improved patient-centered care system."
"If we pool our knowledge, resources and experience, we can develop a solution with unique perspectives and can address how to rebuild our systems to serve the common good together."
"How to build and connect to the next generation of health care systems is up to us. All of us."
"The first step is to embrace the first Health IT Best Practice area of having an HIT strategy or plan that serves a commonly shared community (state or federal) such as the Triple Aim.”
“Having a clear strategy enables us to narrow the universe significantly in determining where, how and if we can collaborate."
"Identify, create, support and introduce yourself to existing HIT network communities, agencies and organizations such as-
- HIEs
- Private Community Networks
- EHRs
- Regional Extension Centers (RECs)
- Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) and
- ·Primary Care Health Homes (PCHHs)
- Broadband/Connectivity Infrastructure Deployment and development programs through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Agriculture (USDA)
