DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): Clinical data is required in order to derive value from most health information technology. Because the Nation's healthcare system is fragmented, these clinical data are fragmented and not available at the point of care. Health information exchange is the term used to describe efforts to aggregate clinical data for patients across disparate organizations in order to form a more complete picture of their care that improves clinical care and quality, research and public health. This project will refine an established economic model of health information exchange (HIE), create a "laboratory" in which that model can be tested and, finally, test the model's predictions in a randomized controlled trial. An existing HIE (the Indiana Network for Patient Care) will be used as the foundation for this project. In addition, several payers have been engaged in this project in order to provide part of the data, but also to lay the foundation for changes in reimbursement models based on the findings. The economic model of HIE, developed by the Center for Information Technology Leadership (CITL) from a national perspective, will be modified to support its use on a regional basis and then to validate the model using data from this project's randomized trial. In order to perform the randomized trial of HIE in the ambulatory setting, the applicant needs to create a "laboratory" of physician practices and data sources that will enable the measurement of the effects of HIE in the ambulatory setting. The investigator will model this "laboratory" after the emergency department model which has now been used for two large trials. Finally, investigators will carry out a randomized controlled trial of HIE in the ambulatory setting by delivering clinical data to providers from across the entire community. The country is faced with a crisis in health care costs, quality and safety and there is increasing evidence that health information technology may be part of the solution. In order for many of these technologies to deliver on their promise, they need clinical data, data that resides in fragmented and unconnected databases but that can be brought together by health information exchange.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了从大多数健康信息技术中获得价值，需要临床数据。 由于国家的医疗保健系统是分散的，这些临床数据是分散的，在护理点不可用。 健康信息交换是一个术语，用于描述为不同组织的患者汇总临床数据的努力，以便形成更完整的护理画面，从而改善临床护理和质量，研究和公共卫生。 该项目将完善卫生信息交换的既定经济模型，创建一个可以测试该模型的“实验室”，并最终在随机对照试验中测试该模型的预测。 现有的HIE（印第安纳州病人护理网络）将被用作该项目的基础。 此外，一些支付方也参与了这一项目，以便提供部分数据，同时也为根据调查结果改变报销模式奠定基础。 由信息技术领导中心（CITL）从国家角度开发的HIE经济模型将被修改，以支持其在区域基础上的使用，然后使用该项目的随机试验数据验证模型。 为了在门诊环境中进行HIE的随机试验，申请人需要创建一个医生实践和数据源的“实验室”，以便能够测量HIE在门诊环境中的影响。 研究者将在急诊科模型之后建立这个“实验室”，该模型现已用于两项大型试验。 最后，研究人员将通过向整个社区的提供者提供临床数据，在门诊环境中进行HIE的随机对照试验。 该国面临着医疗保健成本、质量和安全方面的危机，越来越多的证据表明，医疗信息技术可能是解决方案的一部分。 为了使这些技术中的许多技术实现其承诺，它们需要临床数据，这些数据存在于分散和未连接的数据库中，但可以通过健康信息交换汇集在一起。
