HISP (Health Information Service Provider)

A Health Information Service Provider (HISP) is an organization or system that manages and facilitates the secure exchange of electronic health information between healthcare entities, such as hospitals, clinics, and labs. They provide the technical infrastructure, standards, and services needed to ensure that sensitive patient data is transmitted accurately, securely, and efficiently. Ultimately, HISPs support interoperability, helping healthcare providers share information seamlessly to improve patient care, coordinate treatments, and ensure data security across different health systems.
