Health Information Exchange

The ability to effectively integrate disparate systems is quickly becoming an essential requirement for success in the healthcare industry. By facilitating access to and retrieval of clinical data, health information exchange (HIE) has the potential to improve healthcare quality, reduce medical errors and lower costs by setting the stage for increased interoperability and information-sharing among providers, payers, patients and other stakeholders.

HIE enables the transfer of data via secure electronic networks, resulting in more efficient delivery of results to healthcare providers and promoting communication among hospitals, laboratories and physician offices. Since clinicians are able to quickly and reliably access patient information from other clinical data repositories at the point of care, they are able to provide improved patient care and minimize the chance of duplicative tests and therapies. In addition, enhanced connectivity among healthcare organizations contributes to better operational efficiencies and streamlined workflow.

Created to address the business goals and HIE challenges of hospitals, laboratories and pathology groups, Halfpenny Technologies’ solutions offer the flexibility, reliability and security required to meet the diverse clinical data exchange needs within today’s healthcare environment.
