Slide Presentation from the AHRQ 2007 Annual Conference

Initial emphasis: hospitals and large clinics

• Principles
  • Minimized barriers to entry; maximize control
    • less than $50,000 per year per hospital or large clinic
    • take what data can be easily shared
    • data under publishers control until used by another institution
    • do the mappings and transformations centrally
  • Stay highly focused on immediate value to founders
    • emergency departments
    • hospitalists
    • medical homes, transitions
    • no population health initially, no "report cards," no P4P
  • Use controlled by governance and formal data-sharing agreements
