Research HIE (Health Information Exchange) and outline details.

What is HIE -> This is how medical professionals communicate and share medical information

-A lot of information is still on paper actually!

-If all this information got transferred, it would make the doctor’s ability to see patients entire history and give better current treatment

-Avoid medical errors by not repeating treatments that didn’t work etc.

-Would help diagnose and need for repeat testing

-We are still FAXING!

Directed Exchange – To send and receive secure information for coordinated care

Query-based Exchange – For providers to find information for Emergency or unplanned care.

Consumer Mediated Exchange – How patients are able to control where their information goes
