描述(由申请人提供)：内布拉斯加州东南部V区行为保健提供者健康信息技术计划是内布拉斯加州东南部的保健提供者共同努力的结果，他们致力于开发健康信息技术基础设施，从而实现基于标准的数据共享，并导致该地区患者安全和护理质量的可衡量和可持续改善。哈特兰健康联盟、蓝谷精神健康中心、区域V系统、BryanLGH医疗中心和健康合作伙伴倡议是规划项目的合作伙伴。此外，V区的许多乡村医院和其他服务提供者已同意参与规划进程。V区系统的十六(16)个县服务区的总人口为413,557人，占全州人口的24%。服务区占地约9308平方英里。包括林肯市在内，兰开斯特县的人口为250,291人。V区的人口余额为163,266人，占39%，居住在项目服务区内剩余的15个农村县。 这项规划工作的目的是为该区域的行为保健提供者制定和实施一项计划，以使核心共享数据元素标准化；为城乡保健提供者之间的保健数据和信息共享设计一个综合管理信息系统；将农村提供者与城市提供者连接起来；并发展初级保健和行为保健提供者之间的信息传递能力。这项规划工作的结果将是为管理信息系统制定广泛的规格，以满足项目伙伴和其他参与组织的需要，并确定实施和维持管理信息系统所需的资源。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The Health Information Technology Plan for Region V Behavioral Health Care Providers in Southeast Nebraska is a collaborative effort of health care providers located throughout southeast Nebraska that are committed to the development of a health information technology infrastructure that will result in the standards-based data sharing and lead to measurable and sustainable improvements in patient safety and quality of care in the region. Heartland Health Alliance, Blue Valley Mental Health Center, Region V Systems, BryanLGH Medical Center and Health Partners Initiative are partners in the planning project. Also, many rural hospitals and other service care providers in Region V have agreed to participate in the planning process. The total population of the Region V Systems' sixteen (16) county service area is 413,557 or 24 percent of the state's population. The service area is covers approximately 9,308 square miles. Lancaster County's population, including the city of Lincoln, is 250,291. The balance of Region V's population, 163,266, or 39 percent, resides in the remaining fifteen (15) rural counties in the project service area. The purpose of this planning effort is to develop and implement a plan for behavioral health care providers in the region to standardize core shared data elements; design an integrated management information system for the sharing of health care data and information among rural and urban health care providers; connect rural providers to urban providers; and develop messaging capabilities between primary care and behavioral health care providers. The outcome of this planning effort will be the development of broad specifications for a management information system that will meet the needs of project partners and other participating organizations and the identification of resources needed to implement and sustain the management information system.
