"Health information exchange (HIE) is the electronic transmission of healthcare-related data among medical facilities, health information organisations -- companies that oversee and govern the exchange of this data -- and government agencies according to national standards. The purpose of HIE is to promote the appropriate and secure access and retrieval of a patient's health information to improve the cost, quality, safety and speed of patient care," and to inform planning and policy-making.
