The Importance of Healthcare Data Exchange in Modern Healthcare


Introduction When one looks at the modern healthcare industry, one cannot ignore the impact that modern technology solutions have made. Aside from the advancements in modern healthcare from a medical technology standpoint, which continues to advance the field beyond anything we could have imagined, the use of modern software solutions in healthcare administration is just as impressive. One of the most prominent solutions has been the healthcare data exchange systems, which has created an interwoven network connecting healthcare providers and networks across the country and are the basis for the nation’s healthcare infrastructure. The use of the network enhancements found in these data exchange systems has made patient care more accessible, efficient, complete and affordable than ever before as patient information is securely shared and stored. Likewise, hospitals and private practices can both benefit from implanting these types of solutions, making this a beneficial technology for all parties in the healthcare system.


Electronic Data Exchange and the Future of Healthcare This technology helps to keep hospitals and doctors connected to each other so they can share patient data more easily to improve the quality of care they give. The three different models these systems take function differently but share the same benefits in common with each other. The three major electronic health information exchange types that currently exist are: 1. Directed Exchange: Allow different providers to share sensitive patient healthcare information securely between each other. 2. Query Based Exchange: Providers from another institution can query a database to find patient information remotely 3. Consumer Mediated Exchange: Gives patients access to their health care Information and lets them choose when to share it to providers


Cont‌. Transparent and Secure Networks One of the chief concerns with the use of these technologies is patient data privacy and security. Modern technology has allowed it to be entirely transparent yet secure when healthcare providers share data with each other. This makes it possible for doctors to make informed decisions more quickly when working on a new patient Enhance Business Efficiency Eliminating the waiting period hat usually accompanies request for patient data allows institutions to stop wasting valuable time and resources. This directly leads to enhanced profitability by cutting excessive costs associated with unproductive time.


Cont‌ Improve Operability between Different Institutions Institutions are able to create networks that communicate with each other. In the past, data transfer between institutions that used different software models was a lengthy and cumbersome process. With current standardized models and faster conversion software, the process has been sped up tremendously. Make It Easier for Patients to Stay Informed Patients are able to find and access their own healthcare information much more easily and are able to be updated much more rapidly without having to wait for a doctor. Patient knowledge is very important, and this could be key in improving patient learning models.
