Streamlining Healthcare Delivery Across L.A. County’s Care Continuum
Los Angeles Network for Enhanced Services (LANES) is a nonprofit, community driven Health Information Exchange network. We enable comprehensive health data, clinical data insights and population health capabilities at the point of care throughout L.A. County’s healthcare ecosystem.
Why the Greater Los Angeles Area Needs a Dedicated Regional HIO
As the second largest county in the U.S. and home to more than 10 million diverse residents, Los Angeles faces a unique challenge in streamlining health care delivery across a range of economic, demographic, and financial conditions.
LA is also home to some of the most advanced healthcare in the country, with 80 acute care hospitals and thousands of primary and specialty care providers.
This makes greater LA one of the most unique places in the country, which means its approach to the seamless exchange of data sharing, an essential component of high quality care, needs to be equally unique.
How Regional HIOs Work with State and National HIOs
While national HIOs help with coordinating patient care and access to patient information from other facilities, they fall short in their ability to enhance workflow efficiency or improve clinical quality and outcomes.
Regional and local HIOs collaboratively and independently provide unmatched access to relevant county and other public health resources, completing the full continuum of care down to the local level. This “final mile” approach to synthesized, detailed, high quality, and current data helps care providers respond more quickly and effectively.
The strengths identified within both national networks and regional/local HIOs make them a formidable match in a comprehensive ecosystem.
If you already have a national HIO, it’s important to know that a national HIO alone may not satisfy the California Data Exchange Framework (DxF) mandate. A regional HIO will ensure compliance with the mandate while also delivering the highest quality clinical support due to local network data reliability, accessibility, and accuracy.
