Vision for HIE

• No Wrong Door for Patients

• Providers have access to a patient’s complete health history to provide high quality, cost effective treatment during the visit

• Providers have access to the information needed to evolve with health reform (e.g., ACOs)

• Patients are active participants in their healthcare

• Communities and policy makers have accesses to aggregated, de-identified health data to improve community and public health

What is HIE?

Health information exchange (HIE) is the ability to electronically exchange patient health information including:

…when it’s needed for patient care.

(all data shared safely & securely, meeting or exceeding HIPAA standards)


– Lab results

– Pathology results

– Radiology reports

– Transcribed notes

– Referrals & Consults

– Secure Messaging/Email

– ADTs

– Orders

– Patient care summaries, meds, allergies, Dx (CCD)

“The typical primary care physician has 229 other physicians working in 117 practices with which care must be coordinated.”


Source: Annals of Medicine 2011

Is this your reality?

12

41.9% to 70% of Medicare patients admitted to the hospital received services from an average of 10 or more physicians during their stay


Perhaps, this is Your Reality?
