Military Health System Research Findings: Implications on Patient Privacy and Identity Management<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speakers:<\/p>\n

Rosemary Nelson, MSN, MA, RN-BC, CPHIMS President & CEO, MDM Strategies, Inc.<\/p>\n

Loretta Schlachta-Fairchild, RN, PhD, FACHE, LTC(ret) \u00a0US Army Independent Consultant, MDM Strategies, Inc.<\/p>\n

Rosemary Nelson and Loretta Schlachta-Fairchild today unveiled findings from an exhaustive review of studies, policies, and articles relating to health IT privacy and identity management. In addition to summarize their extensive compilation, they shared a link to all of the resources in the hopes that it will be useful to others interested in knowing what literature is currently available in the domain.<\/p>\n

Rosemary Nelson shared context about the research study:<\/p>\n

Between DoD & VA, they have responsibility to protect the health information for everyone who enters the service from the time they raise their hand until they reach their grave. This requires information to be transferred from a DoD facility to the VA, and sometimes civilian network providers when a specialist outside of the DoD and VA network becomes involved in patient care.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to identify the data integration policies, standards, and processes to ensure patient privacy is preserved among the 3 entities (D0D, VA, Network Providers). This report analyzes what happens when this data is moving in these 3 directions.<\/p>\n

We were tasked to study the policies that impact policies and procedures in place now, and identify where we need to adapt new policies and standards to meet any existing gaps. We began with a literature review and an assessment of Military Health Systems Standards and Policies.<\/p>\n

Loretta Schlachta-Fairchild shared the findings:<\/p>\n

Our study used the AHRQ framework. \u00a0Our literature review spanned the world, not just DoD or VA documentation. We used 4 primary databases: Proquest, PubMed, Gale, Scopus.<\/p>\n
