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.

Health information exchange in the ED: what do ED clinicians think?
The researchers investigated reasons for low Carolina eHealth Alliance health information exchange (CeHA-HIE)utilization. They found that most emergency department clinicians believed the system added value to their work but preferred better integration with their electronic medical records systems.

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.

Increased identification of emergency department 72-hour returns using multihospital health information exchange.
The authors tested the use of a health information exchange (HIE) to improve identification of 72-hour return visits compared to individual hospitals' site-specific data. They found that HIE increased the identification ability of 72-hour ED return analyses by a mean of 11.16% compared with site-specific (no HIE) analyses. They concluded that their analysis demonstrates incremental improvements in the ability to identify early ED returns using increasing levels of HIE data aggregation.

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.
