What is Health Information Exchange (HIE)? A secure electronic network that uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure that medical professionals can access their patients most up-to-date health information and provide the best possible health care. Allows health information to be shared across multiple systems and entities. Helps doctors, hospitals and other health care providers share medical information for patient care quickly and securely through an electronic network. Information is shared in a more protected way than paperbased files, faxes and mail (HIPAA compliant). What is NC HIE? North Carolina s state-designated entity to facilitate health information exchange across all provider types statewide. The most robust and advanced type of HIE in the industry, enabling both a single virtual statewide patient record and point-to-point secure electronic exchange of patient data Originally intended for treatment and healthcare operations purposes, including public health activities.
