Patient consent pilot begins
Beginning summer, 2013 healthcare professionals will be
able to request patient information from the Health Information Exchange (HIE) as HealtHIE Nevada begins a pilot program of the patient consent process. Physicians and others on the patient's medical care team will have instant access to lab results, radiology reports, admit and discharge summaries, and transcription. To test this model, called the "Pull", we are starting a pilot of the patient consent process in four facilities throughout the state.

We are conducting onsite process observations and focus groups for these settings throughout April 2013.

ONC: Post-acute providers should embrace EHRs, HIEs
