NHIN-HISPC-SLHIE Joint Conference:
Fostering Partnerships to Advance Health Information Exchange

We are currently working to format the presentations from the NHIN-HISPC-SLHIE Joint Conference so that they may be posted on the website. We anticipate that they will be available within several weeks; please continue to check back for updates. Thank you!

The Joint Conference was held on April 30, 2008 – May 2, 2008 in Dallas, TX and included participants from three Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) led contracts: the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN), the Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC), and the State Level Health Information Exchange Consensus Project (SLHIE). For three days representatives from each of these contracts shared the stage, their knowledge, and expertise. A complete agenda from the conference is available here.

  • NHIN – As a key element of the national health information technology strategy, the advancement of the NHIN initiative will provide the foundation for interoperable, secure and standards-based health information exchange nationally.
  • HISPC – As a collaborative effort of more than 40 states and territories, the HISPC is focused on developing common, replicable multi-state solutions to the privacy and security challenges states and territories face nationwide with respect to electronic health information exchange.
  • SLHIE – Lead by a steering committee of thirteen state HIE leaders and supported by a broader forum of states, the SLHIE project is developing guiding principles for state-level HIE organizations in the areas of policy, sustainability and accountability.

Presentations from the Conference will be posted as they become available:

Personal Experiences

"We have hospitals in Afghanistan and Iraq, and many of the soldiers would arrive without records in Germany, with no record of the CAT scans or what happened in surgery in Afghanistan or Iraq. The clinicians in Germany would have to re-operate on the patient, would have to redo all their x-ray evaluations, CAT scans, etc...." ~ Colonel John Holcomb
