“The essential purpose of a Health Information Exchange is to provide the right information at the right time and place in the right format to the right providers.”

Lonnie Draper, MD
Emergency Physician
Tallahassee Memorial Hospital

 

   

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.
