Establish a Health Information Exchange

There are many reasons for hospitals and health systems to establish Health Information Exchange (HIE) with patients and providers across their community. Unfortunately, there are an equal number of challenges and issues with establishing this type of connectivity. Global issues such as patient identity management and formatting discrepancies inhibit the electronic sharing of clinical information across care settings. Enabling providers to exchange and integrate data to and from disparate systems presents an additional level of complexity.

Providers who seek to establish HIE amongst providers in their community must be prepared to adapt their infrastructure in a manner that leverages the existing systems and workflows of providers across their community. This will minimize the disruption and resources required to support HIE, motivating participants to support the move. Another key incentive to reinforce community support in establishing HIE is ensuring your solution will assist providers with demonstrating Meaningful Use to quality for ARRA incentives. Meeting these key criteria will position your organization as the community leader for providers and patients alike.
