The electronic interchange of healthcare-related data between medical institutions, health information organizations—companies that oversee and regulate the distribution of this data—and governmental organisations in accordance with national standards is known as health information exchange (HIE).
To increase the cost, quality, safety, and efficiency of patient care, HIE works to facilitate appropriate and secure access to and retrieval of a patient’s health information. The term “HIE” can refer to both the act of exchanging information between two or more healthcare organisations or providers.
HIE helps in better access of patient’s medical history, patient’s previous treatments and all the information that helps a doctor to provide better service and make the treatment process fast.
