    DATA ACROSS SYSTEMS, NOT JUST WITHIN THEM

    Join us in supporting the free flow of patient data in health care.

    We Deliver

    Cerner Interoperability helps data flow freely across the continuum, providing clinicians access to relevant information regardless of source. We aggregate clinical data and embed a longitudinal view. Providers can quickly access and share patients’ medical history, no matter where they received care.

    Today's value of a health data exchange

    In this blog, we explore the value of HIEs amid disasters, ever increasing regulations and as part of a community outreach strategy. Health information exchanges (HIE) have been around for more than a decade but the pandemic and natural disasters have highlighted the value that HIEs offer local, regional and nationwide data exchanges to improve quality of care.

    Barts Health

    "As a pharmacist the East London Patient Record has been beneficial; I can conveniently access patient background information to aid me in clinical decision making. I use it for every patient I encounter."

    - Fay Al-Kudhairi, Pharmacist | RPh, Barts Health NHS Trust

    NHS Kingston Hospitals

    "The Connecting Your Care health information exchange is great, especially when looking through patient details with the limited amount of information we sometimes receive. It also helps me when I'm looking through people's medical records, especially their most up-to-date medications."

    - Darren Beales, Community Neuro Rehabilitation Team Lead, Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

    Waltham Forest

    "The Connecting Your Care, a health information exchange, is a brilliant step in the right direction to improve patient safety and efficiency. Being able to access the GP's records for diagnosis, medications and results performed in another Trust is fantastic and saves a lot of hassle."

    - Esh Chinnasamy, Diabetes and Endocrinology Consultant, Waltham Forest Clinical Commissioning Group

    Keck Medicine of USC

    "ED follow-ups are much easier with immediate access to records from outside EDs in near-real time, rather than needing to fax a request for outside records to the other facility."

    - Katherine Gibson, MD, Physician, Family Medicine, Keck Medicine of USC

    NHS Kingston Hospitals

    "Yesterday I had a confused trauma patient who was unable to give me clear history of her medications or past problems. I was able to find all the information I needed to make a timely critical decision about imaging thanks to the Connecting Your Care health information exchange."

    - Nick Marriage, MD, Doctor of Emergency Medicine, Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

    Torrance Memorial

    "We got started with the HIE and made connections within two weeks. By the end of the month, we were doing query-based connections and transactions. It was so painless that we were surprised by it."

    - Bernadette Reid, VP of Information Technology, CIO, Torrance Memorial Medical Center

    Keck Medicine of USC

    "I was caring for an ED patient who required CT imaging to rule out internal bleeding. I checked the HIE for allergies, saw he had a documented anaphylaxis to IV contrast at another facility and it prevented me from ordering a test that could be harmful."

    - Gil Shlamovitz, MD, FACEP, CMIO, Keck Medicine of USC

    Torrance Memorial

    "I use the Health Information Exchange to look at every patient I go in and see before I go see them. It only takes 30 seconds to see their information on the health information exchange. Then, when I walk in, I have an immediate connection with the patient."

    - Gina Sulmeyer, MD, Chief of Emergency Medicine, Physician Advocate to Clinical Informatics, Torrance Memorial Medical Center

    Homerton University Hospital

    "I use HIE and found it helpful. It was crucial to view a patient's letters from another hospital. I am more likely to note the patient's results as reported by the other clinic than look up all the investigations."

    - Dr Kathleen Bryce, Clinical Fellow Gastroenterology / Quality Improvement, Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
