HIE 1.0

All the hard work and investment during the foundational stage of HIE maturity paved the way for where we are with data clinical data sharing. A thriving ecosystem of communities involving local, state, federal and most importantly, clinical organizations contributing to the data exchange environment.

HIE 2.0

During the initial stages of IT infrastructure development, a limited number of commercial organizations help lead the way to define what data exchange can be. Many different models and technologies have come and gone, and for those who are still investing to move this industry forward, the systems can be broken down into 3 main components that support business objectives.

• Integration engines - connecting to disparity organizations together with the goal of sharing data within the confines of clinical data sharing rules. These engine are still needed to connect systems together, but we have all come to realize that this part of the data gather process is now a commodity. Investment into integration engines are like tires on a car, you need it.
• Clinical Data Repository - a place where data is aggregated into a patient centric model, so that the entire clinical data exchange ecosystem can all benefit from this infrastructure. While most HIE’s are already established with a CDR, some still struggle to establish a repository for the community, making any benefits of data aggregation difficult for the community. This type of environment can create a division between haves and have nots, where those can afford the infrastructure to aggregate data benefit, while those who do cannot afford to invest in large IT systems continue to lag behind.
• Analytics/Reporting - to achieve the real vision of HIE’s, the need to view population data is critical for success. Whether it’s the local population, the population of a practice or a state wide view, this is the capability that should be afforded to each any every clinical organization. This level the playing field for all.

HIE 3.0

The data, the standards, the technology are ripe to fully realized the value that can be achieved with HIE 2.0. InterStella is the organization that brings all three aspects of HIE 3.0 to life.

• Current tools and sytems - many of the legacy tools continue to evolve and make good progress toward the betterment of data sharing. But many suffer from sink cost and legacy view of the HIE ecosystem. Newer version of these platform are incremental changes to what exist today, be it a philosophy of what technology should be for HIE’s or simply a modification of legacy systems with newer tech achieving the same results with newer technology.
• InterStella is a new vision for clinical data sharing. We have the goal of making HIE’s successful. We win when HIE’s win.

Our vision of the future of clinical data sharing is

• We have moved on from ROI to Clinical ROI. Our business model not only measures the traditional ROI, but we integrate clinical outcomes to the measurement.
• Our solutions are designed with the focus of end in mind: be able to confidently share meaningful and actionable data with your participants adding value to patient care and providing services that they cannot obtain on their own.

• Legacy systems provide the comfort level for decision making in the platform selection.
• Legacy systems provide the same service year after year and HIE’s invest more and more to operate and these systems, in many cases, these investments are to keep the system running.
• Legacy systems require you to find addons and other technology staff and IT assets to keep up with evolving technology.
• Legacy systems have forces HIE’s to become IT systems centric and move away from data centric activities.

InterStella changes all these things

• InterStella allows those who are looking for a change to now have a better option. An option that integrates modern technologies with current and future business needs for HIE’s. An investment into the future of HIE’s, not an investment into legacy technology.
• InterStella allows HIE’s to shift from IT centric organization into a data centric organization, whereby allowing HIE’s to become super stewards of data rather than stewards of IT systems.
• InterStella integrate all three aspects of data sharing into a single package without having to invest further into add on technologies to serve your community with your core mission.
• InterStella liberates you from the IT operations and allows your focus to be on your data, the true asset for all clinical data sharing.
