Nebraska RHIOs

Western Nebraska Health Information Exchange.  Partners in Western Nebraska have completed a plan and are beginning to implement a regional health information exchange.  Partial funding has been provided through an AHRQ planning grant, an AHRQ implementation grant, and a HRSA Rural Network Development grant. 

Nebraska Health Information Initiative (NeHII). The Nebraska Health Information Initiative (NeHII) is a collaboration of Nebraska health care organizations, hospitals, physicians, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center.   The vision of NeHII is to be a leader in the secure exchange of health information enabling a healthier Nebraska. NeHII is developing a pilot project in the Omaha area.

Southeast Nebraska Behavioral Health Information Network.  A $200,000 one-year planning grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in 2004 enabled Region V Behavioral Health Care Providers to develop a plan to develop a health information technology infrastructure that will result in standards-based data sharing and lead to measurable and sustainable improvements in patient safety and quality of care in the region. Since the completion of the planning grant, SNBHIN partners have continued to meet and are making progress toward establishing a RHIO.
