LaHie Leadership

The LaHIE Steering Committee is composed of one representative from each data publishing organization.

The LaHIE Steering Committee prioritized potential data publishers based on four factors:

• technical capacity to provide data;
• significant data sets available in electronic format;
• willingness to share data with other organizations and providers; and
• geographic location and population density.

Publishing partners in the Baton Rouge area include:

• Baton Rouge General Medical Center
• Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center
• Ochsner Health System, and
• Baton Rouge Primary Care Collaborative.
In New Orleans, the following healthcare providers participate:
• Ochsner Health System;
• Medical Center of Louisiana/LSU Health Care Services Division; and
• Daughters of Charity Services of New Orleans.

LaHIE is also receiving valuable data for both regions from:

• Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Louisiana; and
• Louisiana Medicaid Program.

LaHIE partners will continue to:

• Make health information accessible from Katrina devastated areas;
• Enhance interoperability within a market and between markets;
• Enhance exchange of health information among a variety of healthcare providers;
• Enhance organizational infrastructure and technology that is scalable;
• Enhance the security and privacy model; and
• Develop a cost/revenue model for sustainability.
