Health information exchange: demonstration projects.

Existing law authorizes the California Health and Human Services Agency, through the Office of Health Information Integrity, to establish and administer demonstration projects to evaluate potential solutions to facilitate health information exchange that promote quality of care, respect the privacy and security of personal health information, and enhance the trust of the stakeholders. Existing law specifies potential demonstration project subject areas and criteria for project selection. Existing law requires demonstration project participants to submit reports to the office on the outcome of the demonstration projects, as prescribed. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
