Real Clear Health has published Privacy Analytics’ own Sam Wehbe’s article, Health Information Exchange and Data Privacy: If Done Right, A Data Bonanza Beckons.
A preview:
Powered by technology and the goal of improving patient care, Electronic Health Information Exchange (HIE) has made progress in some parts of the U.S., providing more data sharing and better access to information at the point of care.
HIE represents a significant opportunity to reap much greater returns from the industry-wide investments in electronic medical record (EMR) technology beyond intra-system silos that remain the legacy of the paper era. The true ROI lies in sharing data across systems for not only patient treatment and care but to meet emerging needs for access to aggregated, useful data.
