The goal of an HIE is to facilitate access to and retrieval of clinical data to provide safer, more timely, efficient, effective, equitable, patient-centered care. HIEs are also useful for public health authorities to assist in analysis of the health of a population. Federal Health Architecture is intended to deliver free, scalable solution to help organizations to tie health information systems into the NHIN. Thus far the project has yielded at least one success (outside of the federal government) where data have been successfully transferred between a civilian hospital and the [...]
