The Oklahoma Health Care Authority and the Office of the State Coordinator for Health Information Exchange are hosting a webinar to discuss the integration of Electronic Heath Records (EHRs) with the Health Information Exchange (HIE). It will take place from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 10.

The session will explore the collaborative efforts required between health care providers and their EHR vendors to effectively connect to the HIE and facilitate seamless data sharing across systems. It will also highlight available State of Oklahoma funding options for EHR systems and health care providers to support this integration.

Key takeaways for attendees will include:

• The role of HIE connectivity in fostering effective patient care and data exchange.
• How to access and utilize funding programs to support integration efforts.
• Practical guidance on aligning EHR systems with regulatory requirements and improving overall interoperability.
• A deeper understanding of data blocking rules and their impact on EMR vendors and health care providers.
