Peer-to-Peer Health Information Exchange
The first scenario demonstrates two exchanges. The first is an exchange of care continuity documents among all the Southeast Minnesota Beacon providers. This will include electronic medication reconciliation. Second, the group will demonstrate the exchange of Asthma Action Plans among practices and schools through the Beacon school portal.

Ambient Warning and Response Evaluation interface (AWARE):
Acute care physicians face a frustrating situation when using the electronic medical record (EMR) to formulate treatment plans for patients. Developed by intensive care unit physicians, the highlights the most relevant data from each patient record, making it easier for providers to access the information they need to make sound decisions. This demonstration will include live interaction with a platform that synthesizes large amounts of data in a clinically relevant way for acute settings. This research is supported by a grant from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation.

Community Data Repository
This case demonstrates a clinical data repository containing quality measures such as readmissions that could be used in research, population management and transitioning patients to different care settings.
SHARPn: Secondary use of electronic health record data
This scenario demonstrates a secondary use of electronic health record data to electronically identify patients’ physical characteristics (phenotypes), allowing for research into population health and clinical workflow.
