Sociotechnical analysis of health information exchange consent processes in an HIV clinic.
The purpose of this study was to describe sociotechnical factors that influence health information exchange (HIE) consent for persons living with HIV (PLWH) at one clinic in New York City. The authors' approach revealed multiple interruptions in clinical workflow, staff and providers' time constraints, and lack of dedicated personnel focused on HIE consent as the major barriers to HIE consent, and they recommended having a dedicated person for facilitating HIE consent.

Immunization data exchange with electronic health records.
The researchers assessed the impact of exchange of immunization information between an immunization information system (IIS) and an electronic health record on up-to-date rates, overimmunization, and immunization record completeness for low-income, urban children and adolescents. Their findings demonstrated that data exchange can improve child and adolescent immunization status.

Health information exchange: perspectives from home healthcare.
Home health agencies (HHAs) often lack the timely and accurate patient information that they require for transition planning. The authors argue that health information exchanges (HIEs) offer information that supports timely visit scheduling, safe and appropriate care planning, coding and documentation, and HHA efficiency.

Software prototyping: a case report of refining user requirements for a health information exchange dashboard.
The researchers describe the design of an health information exchange (HIE) dashboard and the refinement of user requirements through rapid prototyping. Survey results from three users provided useful feedback that was then incorporated into the design. After achieving a stable design, they used the prototype itself as the specification for development of the actual software.

Health information exchange improves identification of frequent emergency department users.
The goal of the project was to measure the incremental increase in the number of frequent ED users who were identified when data
from all EDs participating in an health information exchange were compared with site-specific data. When the researchers analyzed HIE-wide data instead of site-specific data, they identified 20.3 percent more frequent ED users and 16.0 percent more visits by them to the ED.
