Health information exchange associated with improved emergency department care through faster accessing of patient information from outside organizations.
This study assessed whether electronic health information exchange (HIE) is associated with improved emergency department (ED) care processes and utilization through more timely clinician viewing of information from outside organizations. It concluded that the relationship between HIE and improved care processes and reduced utilization in the ED is mediated by faster accessing of information from outside organizations.
