User-initiated health information exchange (HIE) increased by over 32 percent at urban healthcare facilities, mostly due to increased HIE adoption.
Patient-initiated health information exchange (HIE) usage increased over a seven-year period across all care settings, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA).
Researchers found the most significant HIE increase occurred at urban health facilities and appointments paid for by Medicare and Medicaid. Researchers tied the HIE usage increase to the HITECH Act’s meaningful use program incentives.
