Highlights
Persisting systems gaps and fragmentation of care within and between health care teams in primary and secondary care are the key issues being addressed by most national health systems, examples being the Australian primary health care (PHC) strategic framework,[1] NSW State Health Plan[2] and eHealth blueprint.[3]
We illustrate how this health information exchange (HIE)-supported integrated health neighbourhoods (IHNs) vision may be achieved with an Australian case study demonstrating the integration of linked pseudonymised records with knowledge- and evidence-based guidelines using semantic web tools and informatics-based methods, researching causal links bewteen data quality and quality of care and the key issues to address
This paper describes our vision of an integrated health neighbourhood (IHN) underpinned by a community wide health information exchange (HIE) using a model of multilevel integration of data, information, clinical practice and disciplines to support inter-professional coordinated care across primary, secondary and tertiary care settings
Summary
Persisting systems gaps and fragmentation of care within and between health care teams in primary and secondary care are the key issues being addressed by most national health systems, examples being the Australian primary health care (PHC) strategic framework,[1] NSW State Health Plan[2] and eHealth blueprint.[3]. We illustrate how this HIE-supported IHN vision may be achieved with an Australian case study demonstrating the integration of linked pseudonymised records with knowledge- and evidence-based guidelines using semantic web tools and informatics-based methods, researching causal links bewteen data quality and quality of care and the key issues to address.
