Abstract:
Each time a person comes in contact with a health care or social service entity, some amount of new data about that person is created. It could be as simple as their current weight or employment status, or as complex as a summary of a two-week hospital stay. All too often, entities must share in the care of a patient without actually being able to share much of the valuable data they hold about that patient. The inability to exchange information can result in care rife with some of the industry's worst flaws, including wasteful spending, poor coordination, and reactive rather than preventive care. This report examines the various types of health information exchange (HIE) resources available to provider organizations in California, the value that stakeholders are seeking to realize from such resources, and the specific role of nonprofit regional health information organizations (HIOs) within this landscape.
