Current Deployments and Activities
The Harvard Medical School Meeting on Personally Controlled Health Record Infrastructure. PCHRI 2006 was the first major international meeting to focus specifically on the issues of creating an interoperable policy and technology framework for personally controlled health records. One hundred leaders in the field spent one and a half days at the Countway Library working across three tracks -- technical, societal, and business. PCHRI 2007 will be held in November, 2007.
Dossia We are extending Indivo to provide the base architecture for the Dossia Personally Controlled Health Records system. Through Dossia, we hope to make Indivo available to millions of employees of major United States companies.
Harvard Teaching Hospitals. Indivo is the patient controlled medical record for Children's Hospital Boston, and we are currently addressing the complex issues around patient consent for minors regarding access to their medical information.
RHIO/SNO. Indivo has become the patient controlled gateway to the Massachusetts SHARE (Simplifying Healthcare Among Regional Entities -- MA-SHARE) regional health information organization (RHIO). (RHIOs are now sometimes alternatively called subnetwork organizations -- SNOs)
Department of Health and Human Services Prototype PCHR. Under funding from HHS through the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), we developed the national prototype for personally controlled health records, integrated into a regional and interregional data exchange. This was a joint project with the Markle Foundation, CSC, Dr. John Halamka (the HITSP chair and Chief Information Officer of Harvard Medical School) and the Indiana Health Information Exchange.
Employee Health. Indivo was deployed as part of an employee health program at the Hewlett Packard Corporation and other deployments are in the planning stages. This project was funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
University Health. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University are adopting Indivo as the personally controlled health record for all students and employees.
Development. We are working with large vendors including the Cerner Corporation as well as many small vendors through an open source development initiative.
