Description
In the health care field the acquisition of knowledge is important to improve patient care. The process of identifying, managing, and sharing this information is called knowledge management. For this assignment, read the Health Informatics: A Systems Perspective, Chapter 8 Case Study on pages 172-174, and create a strategy to leverage the knowledge base of the practice against the value of knowledge within the developing accountable care organization (ACO), Health Information Exchange (HIE), and Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO). In your paper:
- Differentiate between the role of an HIE and a RHIO.
- What are the implications of collaborating with an HIE and RHIO?
- Create a policy on who can access knowledge generated by the practice and how would it be used.
- Assess each of the five quality domains specified by the ACO mandate, and justify their inclusion or exclusion. What are the implications of each on the structure of the clinical process and on the information system that supports the process?
- Compare and contrast the differences between explicit, expressed, implicit, latent and tacit knowledge. What is the importance of each one?
- Distinguish between the two organizations in your response.
Must be a minimum of two to three, double-spaced pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA style

Starting from the year 2006 we began hearing about the ACOs or Accountable care
organizations, which brought along the debate on whether or not is a good idea to form
organizations (groups of physicians, hospitals, health systems, etc.) that share patient information
in order to perform more organized decisions for the patients to get the right care at the right
time. When talking about ACOs we are going to stumble upon terms like Health Information
Exchange (HIE) and a Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO). WE should have a
clear idea of what is the role of each of those if we think that in the future we will be working
with an ACO or a member of one. The HIE is the act of transferring information (health
information specifically) electronically among different physicians and health organizations
(eHealth Initiative and Markle Foundation), but RHIO is not an action rather an organization,
which brings together different health care stakeholders within an...
