Health Information Exchange / Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIO)
PHFE Consulting Services has extensive experience as a management support organization with success in building community collaborations around health information exchange. PHFE's hands-on experience with Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs) in Southern California combined with project management and health informatics and other technical expertise mean that PHFE has been able to establish itself as a leader in this new field.
PHFE understands that the leveraging of technology, healthcare, quality and performance management systems represents the greatest opportunity for overall improvement in the healthcare service delivery system. PHFE Consulting Services believe that electronic health/medical records implementation and health information exchange are central to providing timely access to vital health records when and where they are needed most. PHFE also knows that better information results in improved outcomes. Real-time data exchange offers opportunities beyond efficiency. It ultimately leads to integration and coordination of care, reduction in medical costs and reduces the risk of medical errors. Electronic health records management and health information exchange also affords the consumer a new way of understanding and participating in their healthcare. Notably, because PHFE does not market or re-market any software or technology, we're able to execute your project in a vendor-neutral, technology-agnostic way that reinforces the objectivity and unique needs that these initiatives call for.
Few firms can lay claim to early stage RHIO formation, project planning, and business model development the way PHFE can. In a healthcare landscape riddled with complexity, PHFE has had great success educating and inspiring stakeholders to participate despite the myriad of concerns with privacy, security and a general lack of understanding about the importance of health information exchange.
