Abstract:
Meaningful statewide health information exchange requires that patient data from different organizations and information technology systems can be associated with a unique person. This capability requires an effective approach to digital patient identity. California Assembly Bill 133, Omnibus Health Trailer, sets a vision for data exchange and calls for a strategy by July 2022 for “unique secure digital identities capable of supporting master patient indices, to be implemented by both private and public organizations in California.” A successful approach will set up more uniform data standards and an efficient statewide structure that uses organizational capabilities at the local level.
