Electronic Health Information Exchange (HIE) was established as a critical component of MU. HIE is an intermediate repository on what health information can be accessed and shared in a secure fashion by multiple types of healthcare providers. There are three types of HIE:
An Empirical Evaluation of Factors Influencing Patients’ Reactions to the Implementation of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs)
Published in International Journal of Human–Computer Interaction, 2019
Health Information Exchange (HIE) networks are the process of exchanging patients’ medical data and health information across different healthcare institutes (Vest & Gamm, 2010). HIE is a relatively new mechanism that was introduced by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act in 2009. Consistent with the HITECH Act, federal and state funds have been allocated to adopt Health Information Technology (HIT), such as HIEs, to improve care coordination (Edaibat, Dever, & Stuban, 2017). It is generally believed that HIEs can improve the quality of healthcare delivery and reduce medical errors and administrative costs (Unertl, Johnson, & Lorenzi, 2011). Nevertheless, establishing a platform to manage patients’ privacy concerns through secure exchange of health data across different healthcare settings has been highlighted in the literature (Angst & Agarwal, 2009). The electronic exchange of patients’ health information becomes more technologically advanced and the challenges of interoperability across different healthcare organizations are raised. Thus, the privacy and security issues related to HIEs have become more noticeable.
Consumers’ Perceptions of Using Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) for Research Purposes
Published in Information Systems Management, 2019
Under the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, healthcare organizations should meet the meaningful use criteria. The requirements include implementation of certified electronic health records (EHRs) to demonstrate structured documentation and sharing of health information across organizational boundaries for patient care and public health purposes (Blumenthal & Tavenner, 2010). Health Information Exchange (HIE) facilitate sharing of health information electronically between providers, across organizations, and EHR technologies. Access to patients’ health data from multiple settings can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of physician’s decisions and enhance hospitals’ ability to discover the best healthcare practices (Williams, Mostashari, Mertz, Hogin, & Atwal, 2012). HIE infrastructures can also directly contribute to national public health efforts by supporting the society’s emergency preparedness facing natural disasters (Landry, Amara, Pablos-Mendes, Shademani, & Gold, 2006).

While the EMR contains partial patient medical history, the EHR is more comprehensive and complete in terms of the data provided to physicians. EHR systems are the building blocks of HIEs – Health Information Exchange networks. HIE networks provide interoperability between different entities and enable the sharing of data and information about patients’ medical and health history (Heart, Ben-Assuli, and Shabtai 2017, #).
