Founded in 2005, Keystone Health Information Exchange (KeyHIE\u00ae) is Pennsylvania\u2019s longest-operating HIE and a national leader. A Geisinger corporation, it serves over 5.8 million patients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. KeyHIE connects an array of diverse organizations, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KeyHIE also supports national and state interoperability via the Sequoia Project eHealth Exchange and the Pennsylvania Patient & Provider Network (P3N).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kim Chaundy, Senior Director of Operations, succinctly stated KeyHIE\u2019s core mission as \u201cbeing the highway connecting the information of many disparate organizations.\u201d Creating the robust infrastructure to fulfill this strategy includes providing \u201cwhite space\u201d coverage to link remote facilities and those lacking full technological resources. The ultimate objective is achieving better outcomes by advancing value-based care and emerging delivery models. Chaundy pointed to the role KeyHIE\u2019s data exchange plays in population health management, disease surveillance, and urgent programs such as Pennsylvania Coordinated Medication-Assisted Treatment (PacMAT) addressing the opioid crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, KeyHIE\u2019s strategy mirrors that of its peers, with the need to generate sustainable growth. The organization has expanded significantly over the past several years and has successfully built a profitable enterprise free from reliance on grants and subsidies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A common strategic thread is management of data with the scale, intensity, and fluidity to produce comprehensive patient medical records and optimize analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
