An Act relating to the electronic health information exchange system; and providing for an effective date.

Summary

The bill requires Alaska’s Department of Health to build a statewide electronic health information exchange that lets health providers share records securely. A private for‑profit or nonprofit entity, chosen by the commissioner, will run the system and must include a governing board with representatives from hospitals, doctors, tribal health groups, insurers, patients and other stakeholders. The law sets privacy, security, funding and patient‑opt‑out rules to protect data and make the exchange financially sustainable.
