The Importance Of The Healthcare Exchange
It is very important that the government fully promotes the healthcare exchange, which is designed to mobilize healthcare information utilizing electronic sources across a number of organizations that are concerned, within that region or state.
The healthcare exchange process will share clinical information across the various healthcare systems, all the while making sure the integrity of the information remains in its original form. Seamlessly exchanging clinical information is key to the delivery of the highest quality healthcare information.
There are a number of advantages to efficiently sharing healthcare information among patients, doctors, other healthcare providers, and others who are authorized. To date there are only a handful of organizations that have taken advantage of this technology.
The healthcare exchange program will include a number of processes utilizing technology systems including business information systems, interoperability, harmonization, and standards utilization. All of these processes will be implemented on a federal, state, and local level so that the healthcare exchange can provide a seamless information network.
The National Coordinator for Health Information Technology stresses that once a standardized electronic system of health records is implemented across the state, it will result in a much better level of efficiency and patient safety.
There are a number of benefits to a more proficient information system so that all health care professionals and consumers like yourself, will be able to expediently provide access to relevant information including all your medical data. The result is that superior patient centered care occurs. The healthcare exchange creates a more timely, efficient, and effective system, where consumers can quickly, and easily check insurance provider plans against each other ensuring you really do get the best healthcare coverage for you and your family.
The obligation is with each of the states to create a healthcare exchange that will allow for the purchase of affordable health care plans. To remain competitive healthcare insurance providers may have to significantly reduce administrative costs and improve their overall efficiency in order to offer competitive premiums. With the healthcare exchange offering an easy way to compare plans, they'll feel a great deal more pressure.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires the healthcare exchange to let eligible state residents search for a plan to meet their health care needs and then buy that healthcare plan. This convenience will be appreciated by all of those who find themselves on the healthcare exchange site.
The Department of Health and Human Services has established two deadlines that the states must abide by:
1. The readiness determination deadline is January 1st, 2013
2. The healthcare exchange deadline to go live is January 1st 2014
There is no question that these deadlines will place a great deal of pressure on the state authorities especially since there is a definite lack of resources and infrastructure to carry out the necessary plans. In addition, knowledge on how to execute such a plan is lacking.
However, once the healthcare exchange has been fully implemented everyone will benefit, but mostly you as a consumer will finally be able to easily distinguish between healthcare plans and prices associated with those plans.
