Memorandum

DATE:           July 12, 2011

TO:                All Members of the Senate Communications & Technology Committee
                      Other Interested Parties

FROM:           Senator Mike Folmer
                  Senator Larry Farnese

RE:                 Roundtable discussion: Pennsylvania Health Information Partnership Boardroom, the Hospital
                      & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania
                      4750 Lindle Road, Harrisburg: (717) 564-9200

The Senate Communications & Technology Committee has held a number of hearings on the electronic sharing of health information records, other patient information, and a possible statewide network (formerly called PHIX, Pennsylvania Health Information Exchange).

Broad concepts have been developed as follow up to possibly establish a Pennsylvania Health Information Partnership as an alternative to PHIX. Attached is draft legislation to move forward with such an initiative, which has been shared with various interested parties.

Next, we have scheduled an informal, roundtable discussion on this draft for:

10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon, Tuesday, August 23
Boardroom, the Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania
4750 Lindle Road, Harrisburg
(717) 564-9200

You are welcome to participate in this roundtable discussion. In the interim, please let Fred Sembach know if you have any questions, problems, or concerns.

Attachment (6-17-11 draft, Pennsylvania Health Information Partnership)
