The Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP) is a nonprofit corporation created to function as Maryland’s state-designated health information exchange and the state's health IT extension center.

The purpose of the health information exchange is to make clinical data available for treating physicians and nurses at the point of care, anywhere in the state of Maryland, regardless of the source of the data. CRISP was created by Johns Hopkins Medicine, MedStar Health, the University of Maryland Medical System and Erickson Retirement Communities.[1] CRISP receives input from a wide range of sources, including clinicians, hospitals, patients, privacy advocates, payers, and regulators and policymakers.

CRISP received $10 million in seed funding through an adjustment in the reimbursement rates for participating hospitals.[2] The Office of the National Coordinator awarded Maryland $9.3 million to implement statewide health information exchange through CRISP.[3] Maryland's Health IT Extension Center became a reality in 2010 with a grant from the department of Health and Human Services for $5.5 million.[4]

In the 2009 legislative session, Governor Martin O’Malley signed into law House Bill 706, which gives the Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) the authority to regulate the state’s insurance industry to provide incentives for doctors to connect their practices to CRISP’s health information exchange.[5]

Audacious Inquiry serves as program director and technical architect for the health information exchange under CRISP.[6] Initiate Systems (IBM) and Axolotl Corporation (Ingenix) were selected in 2009 to provide software as a service to enable clinical information exchange via CRISP.[7]
