'Pipe Dream' HIE Proves Challenging
Health Management Technology, 07/01/09
Solberg D et al. - When discussions began to establish a health information exchange (HIE) at the Kittitas Valley Community Health Information Network (KVCHIN), the HIE was little more than a pipe dream. Clinics in the region still maintained paper-based patient records, and individual provider investment in electronic health record (EHR) systems was anticipated to be prohibitively expensive. Many clinicians and administrators, however, had a desire to see such automation touch their facilities — and their patients. They decided an answer lay in a standard EHR platform and shared community health network.
