The Iowa CHMIS (Community Health Management Information System): work in progress.
The Iowa Community Health Management Information System (CHMIS) is a legislatively authorized system that is designed to meet Iowa's shared information needs and reduce administrative costs. A public/private partnership has been planning this system for over three years, implementation is scheduled to begin in July 1996. At that time, certified transaction networks will route claims data between providers and payors, a subset of that data will be stored by a centralized data repository. As the system evolves, provider access will be expanded and additional data elements will be captured.
