PROBLEM
Indiana has an advantage that few other places have with a mature health information exchange that covers a broad geographical area. The over 350,000 clinical transactions passing through IHIE daily can be used to support direct patient care, while also making sense of the data on a large scale to improve the health of the population at large. High-impact research efforts led by IHIE’s long-time partner and co-founder, the Regenstrief Institute, demonstrate the impact that IHIE’s “living laboratory” can have to provide support to physicians and improve the health and well-being of patients in Indiana.
