Insights Gained from the Review of Information

The review of the State HIE Program Measures Dashboard has provided me with several insights into the current state of HIE in California. These insights include:

• HIE adoption and usage is increasing rapidly in California.
• The California HIE is being used to exchange a wide variety of clinical information.
• HIE is helping to improve patient care in California.

I believe that HIE is a critical tool for improving patient care and reducing healthcare costs. I am committed to continuing to work with my colleagues to promote the adoption and use of HIE in California.

Conclusion

The State HIE Program Measures Dashboard is a valuable resource for tracking the progress of HIE in California. The dashboard provides data on a variety of HIE usage metrics, including clinical document exchange, query and retrieval, medication history, immunization history, laboratory history, problem list history, and radiology history. This data can be used to track the progress of HIE adoption and usage, identify areas for improvement, and inform policy decisions.

I believe that the California HIE is a success story. The state has made significant progress in adopting and using HIE, and this is having a positive impact on patient care. I am confident that HIE will continue to play an increasingly important role in the delivery of healthcare in California.

Overall HIE Usage and Connectivity

California is one of the leading states in the country for HIE adoption and usage. As of Q2 2023, there were over 42,000 healthcare providers connected to the state's HIE infrastructure, and over 8 million patients had their health records shared through the HIE. This represents a significant increase from just a few years ago, when there were only a few thousand providers connected and only a few hundred thousand patients with their records shared.
