Florida’s
Health Information Exchange (HIE) program is saving lives
and improving health care delivery in many communities across
our state. HIE enables authorized medical providers to quickly
and efficiently review their patents’ medical records
to facilitate diagnosis and treatment. The expanding availability
of electronic health records is transforming Florida’s
healthcare system, one community at a time.
Members of FAR - Florida
Association of RHIOs, an alliance of health care providers,
facilitators, organizers and advocates, experience the benefits
of using electronic health information exchange every day.
Patients and providers see more effective and efficient delivery
of care, which helps stabilize costs and improves prospects
for large and small businesses to operate in Florida. Business
productivity, in turn, affects the cost of governmental activity
throughout the state. Health care is big business in Florida,
and HIE will make it better business for everyone who lives
and works here.
Join
FAR in promoting local and statewide efforts to build
a comprehensive and secure HIE network in Florida, which support
a more efficient and affordable healthcare system.
