Edmond Scientific Reveals Role as Pivotal Player in Federal Healthcare Stimulus Plan/ARRA by providing the gateway for RHIOs and HIE to securely accessand transmit EHRs across the NHIN
Why is the secure, electronic transmission of patient data across a national health network important?
1. Improve healthcare quality and outcomes
2. Reduce health disparities
3. Reduce medical errors and duplicative services
4. Enhance coordination of patient care among providers
5. Reduce or eliminate paper
6. Control the cost of healthcare
 Health data interoperability requires compliance with specialized security and privacy regulations. Successful implementation of a health data exchange environment incorporating risk management requires a three-level solution:
- A cross-community NHIN-compliant security gateway/adapter
- A cross-enterprise authorization infrastructure utilizing TP20/TP30 that supports NHIN privacy and preferences
- An enterprise-wide security and privacy authorization infrastructure that conforms to higher architectures.
