Senior leaders of the SHIEC organization and its affiliates were able to connect <em>Healthcare Informatics</em> Editor-in-Chief Mark Hagland with Texas health information exchange (HIE) leaders, who are right now actively working to support the healthcare providers who are caring for Texans impacted by Harvey.</p>
<p>Hagland spoke with several southeast Texas HIE leaders to find what they’re working on right now. Developments continue to unfold live. Two organizations deeply involved in helping clinicians and patients in southeast Texas this week are <a href="http://ghhconnect.org/">Greater Houston Healthconnect (GHHC)</a>, the Houston-area HIE; and <a href="https://www.hasatx.org/about-us">Healthcare Access San Antonio (HASA)</a>, the San Antonio-based HIE whose coverage area encompasses San Antonio and an expanding swath of central Texas, including the Austin and Dallas areas. San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas, are all welcoming residents of Houston and southeast Texas who are fleeing flood-ravaged parts of southeast Texas.</p>
<p>At the moment that Hagland reached Nick Bonvino of GHHC on Tuesday afternoon, he was shuttling between shelters in the Houston area, overseeing the setting up of HIE portals, in order to help clinicians provide care for patients sheltering from the storm. The good news? “Right now, all the electronic health record [EHR] systems at all the hospitals in Houston appear to be in regular working order,” Bonvino reported. “As a result, we’re able, with our laptops and WiFi, to access EHR systems in the normal way.” But, he added, “We’ve just gone live in the Houston convention center, and we’re ready to set up portals in all the shelters in which we’re setting up operations.” Thus, if any of the EHRs of Houston’s area hospitals go down, GHHC leaders will be able to support clinicians in providing care to residents fleeing the storm. At the time that they spoke, Bonvino noted, physicians and nurses were rushing to the George R. Brown Convention Center to care for Houstonians, representing large patient care organizations including the University of Texas Physicians organization, and Baylor Health System, as well as members of the Harris County Medical Society.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, within the HIE realm, one of the most fortuitous things related to the current disaster has been the fact that GHHC and HASA, several years ago, created a durable information exchange connection, so that patient records can be accessed through health information exchange with remote siting (Salt Lake City), thus protecting access to EHRs for patients in need. That came about because of a relationship between the two HIEs, explained Phil Beckett, who is the chief information officer at HASA. Back in the time period of 2011-2012, Becket was the chief technology officer at GHHC, and had developed a relationship with Gijs van Oordt, the CEO of HASA. “Gijs and I created a connection back then, in case anything like this [<a href="/category/technology/disaster-recoverybusiness-continuity" class="alinks-link" title="More On Disaster Recovery">Hurricane</a> Harvey] ever happened. And the [Austin-based] Texas Health Services Authority”—which helps to oversee and facilitate HIE development and governance across Texas—“had created a statewide hub that technically connected the Texas HIEs to each other. So HASA and GHHEC have been connected since 2015.”</p>
<p>So, Beckett told <em>Healthcare Informatics,</em> “Before Harvey made landfall, we sent out a notification to the hospitals with our phone numbers, to contact us, so we could get records to anyone as easily as possible. So we have all the HIEs connected. And there is a portal. And our data from Houston and San Antonio is stored in Salt Lake City. And that portal already exists. So people who are volunteering may not already have an account with us. So we’ll get them access in a heartbeat or look it up for them and fax it to them, as necessary.”</p>
<p>All of that foundational work has suddenly become highly relevant, Beckett noted, as “We’ve got a lot of evacuees in San Antonio from Houston, and we are taking our information from HASA and coordinating with the GHHC team, to get access to records for individuals from Houston.” In fact, he reported, “So far, we’ve got 17,000 evacuees from Houston, and that number keeps growing. Not all of those patients will have [electronic health] records, and not all will need medical assistance. But you can imagine leaving your house in a crisis like this; you can imagine what will happen when someone comes to rescue you with a boat, and you grab your phone and wallet and go; you don’t have any medications with you or anything. So having a doctor be able to access that to refill your prescriptions, will be critical.”</p></div></div></div><h2 class="element-invisible">Pages</h2><div class="item-list"><ul class="pager"><li class="pager-current first">1</li>
