Technological advancements in the healthcare industry continue to provide new ways to improve the quality of care delivered to the patients while advancing the state of the global digital healthcare system.
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association showed that the patient data transmitted through Health Information Exchange (HIE) doesn’t solely depend on the technical aspects but also depends on the policies facilitating data exchange.
Hence, most of the countries are focusing on introducing new policies for data exchange through their HIE systems.
Health information exchange helps doctors, nurses, patients, pharmacists, and others to seamlessly exchange vital medical information electronically with better quality, speed, security, and cost.
HIE data and information varies depending on the ability of providers participating in the exchange to receive and send information.
Providers/doctors can request or lookup patient related information from other providers.
