| Electronic
Health Information Exchange (HIE) is the foundation for improving
healthcare for patients in the State of Florida. Networks
of electronic records enable timely exchange of medical data
between providers, saving lives and saving money. When healthcare
providers use electronic records to receive the right information
on the right patient at the right location at the right moment,
patients and providers reap the benefits. To protect patients’
privacy, healthcare information is only available if the patient
authorizes its transmission. |
