HIMSS Health Information Exchange (HIE)
=======================================

The terms “RHIO” and “Health Information Exchange” or “HIE” are often
used interchangeably. RHIO (regional health information organization)
is a group of organizations with a business stake in improving the
quality, safety and efficiency of healthcare delivery. RHIOs are the
building blocks of the proposed National Health Information Network
(NHIN) initiative proposed by David Brailer, MD, and his team at the
Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology
(ONCHIT). To build a national network of interoperable health records,
the effort must first develop at the local and state levels. The
concept of NHIN requires extensive collaboration by a diverse set of
stake holders. The challenges are many to achieve success for a health
information exchange or a RHIO.
Information and data exchange is a critical to the delivery of quality
patient care services and effectiveness of healthcare organizations.
The benefits of appropriate sharing of health information among
patients, physicians, and other authorized participants in the
healthcare delivery value chain, are nearly universally understood and
desired. Few organizations and systems have taken advantage of the
full potential of the current state of the art in computer science and
health informatics.  Healthcare Information Exchange initiatives focus
on the areas of technology, interoperability, standards utilization,
harmonization, and business information systems while also supporting
HIMSS activities focused on the national, state and local level.
