In Florida, there is one health information exchange that created a portal where all health systems and patients can have access to health records. This portal is being tested in Tallahassee and Bradenton and so far, patients and health professionals are sharing positive feedback.</p><p></p><p class="xmsonormal">“The need to share data among physicians, hospitals, pharmacies, labs, and other entities is a challenge” said HIE Network co-founder Dan Kaelin. However, HIE Network is working hard to eliminate these challenges and help health care providers tackle the coronavirus pandemic. The co-founder of HIE Networks is hoping to make this portal available throughout the entire State of Florida. </p><p></p><p class="xmsonormal">With the coronavirus spreading so quickly across every state in the United States, does this call for a nationwide health information exchange system?</p><p></p><p class="xmsonormal"><a href="https://ehrintelligence.com/news/coronavirus-pushes-fl-hie-to-advance-statewide-interoperability" target="_blank">Read more >></a></p><p></p><p><a href="https://hub.nic-us.org/groups/let-s-get-technical" target="_blank">Join the Let’s Get Technical Group for more >></a></p><p><a href="https://hub.nic-us.org/groups/social-determinants" target="_blank">Join the Social Determinants of Health and Wellbeing Group for more >></a></p><p><a href="https://hub.nic-us.org/groups/NIC-HIMSS" target="_blank">Join the NIC & HIMSS Group for more >></a></p></div>Facilitating Multi-Sector Collaborationhttps://hub.nic-us.org/forum/facilitating-multi-sector-collaboration2018-10-04T22:21:04.000Z2018-10-04T22:21:04.000ZHub Adminhttps://hub.nic-us.org/members/NIC<div><ul>

<p><a href="https://stewardsofchange.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stewards of Change Institute</a> has created a way for people working in different sectors to understand the perspectives of collaborators in other sectors. “We’ve applied this concept of personas or human-centered design, or scenario planning, to represent the complexity of the issues and the various viewpoints that are necessary to solve the issues, as opposed to trying to explain it from a technical perspective, which puts people to sleep,” says <a href="https://hub.nic-us.org/members/DanielStein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Stein</a>, MBA, president of Stewards of Change Institute.</p>
<p>Stewards of Change Institute’s process brings people together and presents them with a scenario related to SDOH. The facilitator asks the collaborators how they would address the issues in the scenario. “This encourages them to think broadly. They rapidly see that their small view of the pie won’t solve the problem,” says Stein. The facilitator then engages collaborators through adult learning techniques including multi-media. This “challenges them to think differently and interact differently than they would normally,” says Stein.</p>
<p>While much of this type of training could be done through a toolkit, Stein recommends a combination of on-site and distance learning. “The importance of human learning is critical to these things,” he says. Available multi-media technology can be used to engage people using web-based training, and help them build competency in effective collaboration.</p>
