Course Overview
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this course is to give students an overview of the challenges facing health information technology adoption within different settings. The course will also provide context for the national discussion on health information exchange through discussion and review of key research studies defining problems in health care. With a broad understanding of the myriad of disconnects within the healthcare system, the discussion will then explore current trends in health information systems to address these challenges. The discussions will be two part, first, it will look internally within various institutional settings to explore the challenges and issues facing HIT adoption. Demonstrations of emerging clinical systems will highlight challenges faced in project management, planning and implementation of information systems.. The course will consider initiatives addressing community level data exchange, security risks, national identifiers and personal health records. We will explore how individual institutional constraints affect interoperability across disparate settings and ultimately the implications for the continuity of care. Designed to provide a broad perspective of the health information technology adoption challenges, the course discussion will integrate a guest speaker(s) from a variety of healthcare settings.
Goals & Objectives
Goal: The goal of the course is to provide students with a broad understanding of the challenges facing health executives in selecting and implementing a health information system. The course is also designed to provide context for the growing discussion on health information exchange and its impact on the internal and external environments shaping the healthcare industry.
Objectives: The objective of the course is to provide students with an understanding for the:
• Challenges facing healthcare executives relative to HIT in different institutional settings
• Case studies highlighting implementation challenges and successes within local healthcare organizations
• The functionality and flavor of leading clinical information systems in today’s market
• Understanding of how Enterprise Resource Planning software packages are used within the healthcare field
• Understanding Project Management
• The emerging field of health information exchange and its impact on internal HIT decisions
•

Outcomes from the Privacy and Security Solutions for Interoperable Health Information Exchange Project
The final reports produced under RTI International's contract with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The contract, entitled Privacy and Security Solutions for Interoperable Health Information Exchange, was managed by AHRQ and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The reports provide a summary and an analysis of work performed by 33 States and one territory as subcontractors to RTI; these subcontractors form the Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Nationwide Summary of Appendices
This report provides a comprehensive review of the work conducted by the subcontractors throughout the course of the project. Although the primary sources of information described in the Nationwide Summary report are necessarily State-specific, the report affords the opportunity to look across the activities conducted by the 34 State teams and to better understand what policies and practices need to be in place within and across States to both protect health information and promote nationwide electronic health information exchange. The report is an effort to expand the ideas and plans the subcontractors developed by identifying common challenges and areas for ongoing collaboration.
The report also incorporates issues raised during discussions at the regional and national meetings and presents discussions of key issues, based on the expertise of the members of RTI's Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) regarding the often complex interactions between State and federal law. This report further addresses the broader implications of the project, makes recommendations for federal action that can facilitate nationwide electronic health information exchange, and may serve as a roadmap for State and federal agencies establishing privacy and security policies governing nationwide electronic health information exchange.
The Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration Toolkit
The toolkit provides guidance for conducting organization-level assessments of business practices, policies, and State laws that govern the privacy and security of health information exchange (HIE). The toolkit serves as an appendix to the AVAS with the intention of providing tools that others can use locally or Statewide.

Class Format
The class will be taught in two intensive weekends. Students are required to come to the first class prepared to incorporate concepts from their outside class readings (the optional class text book and suggested references in the syllabus) during class. Designed to provide a real life view of the challenges facing health information technology adoption, the course will integrate a number of topics ranging from consumer-driven healthcare, remote monitoring, interoperability, security & privacy, system selection, project management and implementation. This is an overview of Healthcare Information Technology to expose future healthcare managers to the trends, emerging healthcare technologies and resources to keep abreast of this ever-changing aspect of healthcare. Material presented by guest speakers will not be found in the text book and/or policy briefs. Students are therefore strongly encouraged to attend the full days for both weekends.
Recognizing that the course is designed for graduate students who will ultimately be seeking positions in the healthcare industry, the class assignments are designed to develop and test skills required as successful healthcare administrators. Managers, for example, are required to hear multiple perspectives, understand and process the information, and make strategic decisions based on the various input. Successful managers also make organizational decisions based on their understanding not only of their particular institutional challenges but of the environment in which the organization works.
Lastly, as healthcare involves multiple service providers, understanding the potential stakeholders and their often times competing perspectives is essential for improved collaboration. To this end, students will be asked to solve a critical problem using an innovative HIT solution and be asked to participate in group projects.
