Health Information Exchange Utilization and Inter-Hospital Transfer Outcomes

Description

This research examined whether Health Information Exchange (HIE) systems improve communication, reduce costs, and enhance outcomes for high-risk patients transferred between hospitals, finding that while HIE participation improved information sharing and patient outcomes, it did not consistently lead to an improvement in in-hospital mortality, shorter stays, or lower overall care costs.
