Prior to the Workshop, the Workshop team interviewed a number of key leadership in state provider directory initiatives to better understand current ongoing efforts and planned initiatives. Some of these programs were featured in Day 1 presentations.
The findings are summarized very briefly below. Some of these initiatives were invited to present their work at the Provider Directory Workshop, and have additional material documented in Appendix F, Provider Directory Workshop Materials.

California

CAHIE (California Association of Health Information exchanges, http://www.ca-hie.org/) operates a Directory Service based on HPD v1.5. It comprises a single statewide directory service that orchestrates queries and consolidates responses from six separate local directories operated by community HIEs. As interest in HPD is waning among vendors in California, CAHIE is exploring a centralized HPD-compliant directory that supports CSV uploads and downloads for participants that don't support HPD, as well as a RESTful API. Participation is governed by policy and a minimum dataset (see attached).

See Appendix F, Provider Directory Workshop Materials, for more information on the CAHIE provider directory initiative presented at the Provider Directory Workshop.

MiHIN (Michigan Health Information Network, http://mihin.org/) operates a statewide directory (called the Health Provider Directory or HPD) based on Salesforce that manages not only providers, organizations, and relationships between providers and organizations, but also relationships between providers and patients. It therefore functions as a means to identify and manage care teams. It supports a proprietary API and HPD. There is also work on a FHIR API (see attached). A discussion with MiHIN is scheduled for Tuesday, February 2, at 11:00am Pacific.

Oregon is in the early stages of procuring a more complete statewide provider directory solution.

Through the Rhode Island Quality Institute (RIQI, http://www.riqi.org/), Rhode Island is transforming its collection of small provider directories into a centralized, authoritative provider directory database that is managed much like a health information exchange – collecting and aggregating data across organizational boundaries to create a single longitudinal record of provider information.
