Project Director, HISPC-Illinois
Executive Assistant to the Director for Customer Service, Illinois Department of Public Health

"The state of Illinois is in the early planning stages for a state-wide Health Information Exchange (HIE). In our efforts to advance state-wide HIE, the Illinois Electronic Health Records Taskforce was convened by the Illinois Department of Public Health in response to legislation. The Common Framework greatly influenced the taskforce's report in December 2006. It included a state plan for the development and use of electronic health records (EHRs) in order to improve the quality and safety of patient care. A primary recommendation was establishment of a state-level HIE based upon the federated model outlined in the Common Framework. To follow through on the recommendations of the taskforce, the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services and the Illinois Department of Public Health, are convening a stakeholder group entitled the Illinois Health Information Exchange (HIE) Advisory Committee.

The state's Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC) project also used the Common Framework as a guide for the development of privacy and security policies to serve as a foundation for the state-level HIE."
