- Summary:
- First study of health information exchange use over multiple years and will determine if HIE improves patient outcomes in the ER. Health Information Exchange (HIE) involves the electronic exchange of clinical and/or administrative health data across the boundaries of health care institutions, health data repositories, and states. Widespread HIE has the potential to improve health care, and HIE has been described as a critical component of recent health reform initiatives including value-based care and patient centered medical homes. This work will measure actual use of health information exchange over time, across multiple institutions, to generate high-quality evidence of the value and benefit of health information exchange, in the delivery of emergency care.
