Alternative payment models and hospital engagement in health information exchange.
The purpose of this study was to assess whether hospital participation in alternative payment models (APMs) was associated with greater engagement in health information exchange (HIE) along 4 dimensions: volume of patients for whom information is exchanged, diversity of information types, breadth of partner types, and depth of technical approach. Findings suggest that APM participation was associated with greater HIE diversity, breadth, and depth that value-based payment may be spurring improvements in HIE infrastructure; however, the finding that APM participation is associated with lower HIE volume suggests that there may be incentive to focus HIE investments on a limited number of partners.
