As technology is on the rise, and the need for healthcare interoperability increases, it is becoming more and more critical for clinicians to quickly and meaningfully share data and access patient records. Today, health information exchanges (HIEs) around the country are working to ensure the data gap continues to decrease and all healthcare settings and electronic health information systems have the same information with a reduction in errors and duplicative treatments to avoid costly mistakes.
