Karen Chrisman, JD, MA, the Executive Advisor and Privacy Officer for the Kentucky Health Information Exchange, will share examples of Kentucky data sharing for community health. Sharing data to support service delivery, quality improvement and data analytics is equally a goal of healthcare and government agencies. The path to shared data resources requires a common technology structure and a legal foundation. The Cabinet for Health Family Services has pursued this goal. Chrisman's presentation will explore the legal challenges and successes of two of these projects, the Kentucky Health Information Exchange and the Benefind system.
