13. • Most HIEs offer basic connectivity and exchange services:
• Collecting, managing, and distributing patient health information
• Delivery of patient clinical summaries
• Connectivity to EHRs
• Many are helping hospitals and physicians to achieve
meaningful use and filling gaps in EMR
capabilities, including:
• Patient/disease registries
• Medication reconciliation
• Population health management
• Some mature HIEs are moving from data interchange
businesses to analytics and application solutions providers

14. • Align community needs with HIE capabilities
• Understand clinical workflow and how to manage
change
• Focus on value proposition
and business case
• Use lightest possible technical
infrastructure
• Offer high value bundles of HIE
services
• Critical mass is critical
“If ADT data were the only
message type available to
an HIE, impactful use
cases could still be
enabled and could be the
primary basis for valuable
service offerings.”
