The day when your medical information follows you electronically wherever you go just came one day closer to reality.
Three Indiana and Ohio organizations today started securely sending clinical test results, reports and other medical information among their health information exchanges (HIEs), a first in the U.S. These HIEs – HealthBridge in Cincinnati, Ohio, Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE) in Indianapolis,
Indiana and HealthLINC in Bloomington, Indiana – have each been innovators and pioneers in a national trend to enable medical information to flow electronically between doctors and hospitals.
These organizations have been exchanging health information securely within their regions for years. But, now they facilitate exchange among their regions as well, using clinical information standards to enable the transfer of data.
