Health Information Exchanges
• Health Information Exchange: Providers can join networks
called Health Information Exchanges. These networks give
providers the ability to electronically transmit health records.
Eventually a single health record can be developed for a
person that will follow them from physician to physician,
potentially making the health care delivery system more time
and quality efficient; making quicker access to information
when it’s needed and lessening the likelihood of unnecessary
duplication of medical tests and adverse reactions to
medications
