<strong>HPP</strong> 6.1<br />

Data Element #2:<br />

Has the HCC defined data usage and access<br />

policies for the EEI data?<br />

Technical Assistance Guidance:<br />

The HCC must coordinate with its HCOs, the<br />

State government, and the local government to<br />

address the following:<br />

• Participants authorized to receive and share<br />

data<br />

• Data use and re-release parameters<br />

• Data Protection<br />

• Legal, statutory, privacy, and intellectual<br />

property<br />

• Information System Security<br />

Data Element #3:<br />

Does the HCC have redundant systems and<br />

processes in place to electronically send and<br />

receive the EEI data?<br />

Technical Assistance Guidance:<br />

The HCC does not have to be the owner of the<br />

systems; the systems have to be operational in<br />

the HCC's geographic region, and its members<br />

must have the ability to share data electronically<br />

across the HCC.<br />

The secondary system is not required to be<br />

electronic but there has to be a redundant<br />

system in place.<br />

Data Element #4:<br />

Can the HCC share basic epidemiological and/or<br />

clinical data with relevant local health<br />

departments?<br />

Technical Assistance Guidance:<br />

The HCC's role is to facilitate communication of<br />

authorized data between its HCOs and the local<br />

health department.<br />

The HCC's role is to ensure that its HCOs have<br />

access to authorized and available data and<br />

ensure that its HCOs have protocols for sharing<br />

data.<br />

Hospitals in an HCC are expected to share case<br />

info for reportable diseases, share sentinel lab<br />

data and be as integrated as possible into the<br />

local Health Alert Network (HAN) or equivalent,<br />

consistent with Capability 3 Function 3.<br />

Data Element #5:<br />

Are the HCC members able to report the<br />

identified EEIs electronically within the<br />

timeframe requested as evidenced by<br />

performance during exercises or events?<br />

Technical Assistance Guidance:<br />

Although the <strong>HPP</strong> FOA requires that all hospitals<br />

and HCCs participate in at least one regional or<br />

statewide exercise over the 5-year grant period,<br />

an HCC must identify each year whether the<br />

HCC and its members have participated in an<br />

exercise or an event. The HCC is strongly<br />

encouraged to participate in a yearly exercise or<br />

event if the opportunity arises. If there was no<br />

event or exercise, it must score ‘No’ because of<br />

no opportunity.<br />

The HCC does not have to be the lead organizer,<br />

but the HCC must participate as an operational<br />

entity.<br />
