Interoperable EHR for america's 2 largest systems
VA and kaiser have started sharing limited data from EHRs based on standards developed by Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN). They believe that it will lay foundation for the lager implications across the industry where lessons from two advanced but diverse delivery systems can contribute to learning more about interoperability. http://www.fcw.com/Articles/2009/11/30/VA-Kaiser-Permanente-share-digital-patient-data.aspx
Does that have any implications for NZ?

Implications for NZ
I think it will be an interesting case study for NZ to watch and learn from.
If I wanted to research more on the interoperability aspects of VA and Kaiser where would I find the best articles?
Thanks for any advice.

Hi Corinne,
The initiative has been pushed by Department of Health & Human Services ( http://healthit.hhs.gov/ ) mainly to bring to forefront its new initiative “NHIN” (the detailed articles are available at http://healthit.hhs.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=1194&parentname=CommunityPage&parentid=6&mode=2&in_hi_userid=10882&cached=true
They roped in IBM to build SOAP architecture based data transfer along NHIN guidelines. VA and Kaiser were the test beds. Social security department is joining this network soon, to enable social security claims settlement (akin to our ACC) relating to health & disability benefits.
More details are not yet released but all the players sound quite excited about it J. I am sure we could learn from them especially in ref. to national standards and secure data sharing across DHBs to test these standards.
Cheers
