HIE (Health Information Exchange)

Health Information Exchange (HIE) is a system that allows healthcare providers to share a patient's medical information securely and efficiently across different hospitals, clinics, and labs. This ensures that all authorized medical professionals involved in a patient's care have quick access to accurate and up-to-date health records, such as test results, medications, and diagnoses. The goal of HIE is to improve the quality and safety of healthcare by enabling better communication, reducing duplicated tests, and streamlining treatment decisions, all while protecting patient privacy.
