The current administration is a strong supporter of HIE and believes that a seamless, robust, standards-based, and scalable HIE backbone will be critical to the provision high quality, cost effective health care in the future. Timely, accurate, and complete patient information, provided in a ubiquitous and unobtrusive manner, will help clinicians better understand their patient’s medical history and make more informed decisions on patient health care needs. Examples of benefits to be derived from HIE include: improved patient safety, improved outcomes, better manage cost, and reduce medical errors.”
