Extranet Implementation: A Case Study of a Community Healthcare Information Network

Overview This paper describes the collaborative development of a community healthcare extranet. The project involved the collaboration of a hospital, insurance carrier and community physicians. The nature of the information shared between the partners required high levels of security. These requirements and the lack of existing infrastructure made the extranet's implementation cost prohibitively high for any single organization. Collaboration not only helped reduce the cost for individual participants but also increased the functionality of the extranet by increasing the amount of information available. The extranet, HInet (Health Information Network), reaches over 95% of the physicians in the community. Its development process offers valuable lessons for the development of extranets in general and community health care extranets in particular.
