Presentation Title
Let's Talk About Foster Care and HIEs!
Description
Federal guidelines and almost all local jurisdictions place limitations on what demographic data can be shared about children in Foster Care - for their safety. However, when children in the foster care system are taken to health providers, their demographics are shared, creating a situation where HIEs can't effectively link their care to the individual child. These restrictions, particularly on the sharing of demographics, make it nearly impossible for data about the services these children receive to be shared through HIEs. This session will provide an opportunity for attendees to share their experiences and real or potential solutions for HIE and potentially CIE sharing of data on this population.
Session Objectives
1. Define the challenges of obtaining sufficient demographic data on foster children to allow accurate MPI linkages.
2. Share real or potential solutions for addressing those challenges.
3. Develop strategies for successfully working with leadership in Foster Care administrations to partner to address these challenges so that those caring for the children's health have all the information they need.
