This has vastly improved the comprehensiveness of patient's records, thereby improving the quality, safety, cost, and efficiency of patient care. The technology drivers behind HIE are focused on better connecting the consortium of medical professionals, healthcare providers, pharmacists and patients to fully realize its transformational power. While EHR has become mainstay, a sizeable percentage of healthcare technology providers point out to real-time interoperability challenges which forestall data transfer capabilities across the care spectrum. Nevertheless, there are vendors who have effectively used HIE platforms to integrate organizational silos and exchange information benefiting patients, providers, and payers alike. The platform's central database, while holding the consolidated medical records of patients from multiple providers, can in turn automatically facilitate import of data back to individual patient EMRs.The integrated use of enabling technologies such as internet, mobile, cloud and social networks are furthering and enhancing the delivery of highly differentiated personalized care. With the federal government's guidelines necessitating interoperability as a core requirement for providing seamless care, the stage is open for vendors with software development kits, APIs and open source tools to better connect data across the supporting environment. Data integrity, security and privacy, remains central and vital to the success of these patient-centered solutions linking disparate systems.The move onward is to harness and consolidate data to infer actionable information that support decision making toward bettering coordinated care initiatives. To be successful, proponents are going to be judged on how their solutions aggregate and normalize data, accelerating HIE strategies.This edition of Healthcare Tech Outlook features a listing of 20 Most Promising HIE Solution Providers, their enabling technologies, products, pricing, strategies and insights to advance care management capabilities. We trust this edition will help you adopt and formalize value-based HIE initiatives for your organization. HIE- Advancing Patient Engagement and Care
