Health Information Exchange (HIE) will be the major catalyst in achieving true interoperability and convergence in the healthcare industry. While many of the healthcare entities are still trying to speculate the transformation that HIE will bring, some have already started reaping the benefits of having a functional HIE in their organization. Rapid adoption of EMR and HL7 data exchange standards have already built the foundation for HIE implementation. HIE is certainly the next step to realize the goal of semantic interoperability and establish a connected healthcare ecosystem.
With health records getting digitized with EMR systems and comprehensive standards like HL7 supporting the HIE, HIE is bound to bring radical changes to the way current healthcare system operates.

Enhanced Interoperability
Communication between hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies, payers and ambulatory care can improve drastically with the implementation of HIE. Besides, every stakeholder in the care continuum enters data in the same system. This avoids data conflict and allows quick access to patient record from single source of truth.
Increased efficiency in delivery of care
HIE enables quick availability of patient demographics, latest test results, allergy information, previous prescriptions etc. at the point of care including emergency scenarios. This avoids redundant tests, prescription conflicts, drug interaction alerts and in turn increases safety and accuracy of patient treatment.
Reduced administrative and data distribution costs
HIE is supported by universally accepted data exchange standards like HL7, Continuity of Care Record (CCR) and Continuity of Care Documents (CCD). HL7 protocol takes care of data filtering, transformation and conversion to readable information. This reduces administrative tasks and frees up resources to focus on direct care
Research collaboration
HIE enables aggregated and consolidated view of patient data across the diverse systems in the entire spectrum of care setting. This acts as data feed for research and analytics in population health, diseases management, chronic disease, drug effects etc.
Accurate security tracking
With one single source of truth, it is easier to maintain audit logs, user access and other control documentations. This fulfills compliance requirements and also takes care of patient data privacy.
