San Diego Health Connect securely connects health care stakeholders by sharing important health information delivered through an HIE infrastructure.
Why Health Information Exchange (HIE)? Having information on hand when and where we need it is something we take for granted. When we need to know our bank account balance, we look it up. When an important package is on its way, we track its movement from place to place. It’s as easy as connecting to the Internet. But what about vital health information? Is it available when and where we need it?
