How Do I Participate?

All patient information is currently stored in a secure online Health Information Exchange (HIE). Every patient will have the opportunity to optout of the HIE by choosing not to allow his or her medical records to shared in the exchanges.

Most patients currently allow medical professionals to exchange radiology and lab test results, prescription and other information as a routine part of their care. Before the development of an HIE, such information was shared through the mail, fax machines, and phone calls. The HIE allows this important information to be exchanged faster and more efficiently using a secure online exchange.
