Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS)

Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) is a system that allows different healthcare organizations to securely share electronic medical records. It enables doctors, hospitals, and clinics to access and exchange patient information—such as test results and treatment histories—regardless of where the records were created. This improves care coordination, reduces duplicate tests, and ensures clinicians have comprehensive, up-to-date information to make informed decisions. XDS uses standardized methods and secure technology to streamline sharing while protecting patient privacy across diverse healthcare providers.
