The resolution proposes an interim study to investigate and compare the functioning of health information exchanges in various states. The study will focus on several key areas, including the involvement of third parties, auditing processes utilized by state and federal auditors, any fees associated with these exchanges, data sharing practices with the federal government, historical context, relevant legislation from other states, and privacy concerns.
The Health and Human Services Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that the insights gained from the study can inform future legislative actions regarding health information exchanges.
