health information exchange

To support a more robust exchange of health information across multiple systems and care settings, HIT must embrace future-state technology: A single data management solution built on a single platform that stores all content in its native format in a single archive.

The IHE framework and process provides a model that can help address these challenges of inefficient care coordination, disconnected data silos, and proprietary, non-scalable and cost prohibitive integration strategies.

The management team at the Inspira Health Network reveals secrets to their successful HIE implementation in this Q&A-style whitepaper.

The Charlotte Hungerford Hospital’s pioneering success shows that HIEs can deliver tremendous value by facilitating more coordinated care with community hospitals, small physician practices, and often-overlooked members of the healthcare community.

Widespread electronic health record (EHR) adoption has ushered in a pivotal moment in laying the groundwork for health information exchange (HIE).

Congratulations! You're on the right path toward a more flexible, powerful HIE solution (and greater peace of mind). The thought of moving to a new HIE solution can be tough. But as one of our new replacement clients, Rob Hack, Executive Director at HealtheConnections, recently said "The risk of doing nothing was far greater than the risk of making a switch." Hear some real client examples in our next communications.

Recognize these six misconceptions that can harm your success. Don’t be “fuzzy” about interoperability and sharing data. Misinformation abounds. Get the straight scoop and the right start to your interoperability plan. Robust interoperability is critical to sustain and grow your organization. It’s the top priority of the Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology (ONC). It should be a high priority for you too.

The long migration to electronic health records (EHRs) in the U.S. is set to speed up with the funding authorized by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009.  But what are the specific risks when clinicians can’t access electronic health records? How far-reaching are the consequences when EHR data is lost, or its integrity is compromised?  This paper looks at the mission-critical role of EHR systems, and introduces availability solutions that build in uptime protection to ensure the continuity of operation that both caregivers and patients can depend on.
