WHAT IS ELECTRONIC HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE (EHIE)
Electronic Health information exchange (EHIE) : is the electronic transfer of health-related information between organizations or healthcare providers (e.g., patient and medical information).
It also refers to the technologies, standards, and governance that enable the electronic exchange and transfer of clinical and administrative information between the information systems of various health care stakeholders.
BENEFITS OF HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE
HIE contains several benefits, including
1) Improving care coordination and healthcare quality
2) Explicitly enhancing patient safety by reducing medication and medical errors
3) Eliminating redundant or unnecessary testing, handling, and paperwork.
4) HIE will facilitate the related work and accelerate health information integration. Similarly, interoperability is essential to patient care, as vital patient data should be available and shared with the right people at the right time and place, leading to fewer medical errors, unnecessary tests, and more efficient decision-making.
