Doctors and Nurses involved in the study say the new technology goes beyond expectations. The health information exchange focuses on the mobilization of health care information electronically across organizations within a region or community. Different health care systems will be able to share information to provide safe, efficient patient centered care. According to exchange participants the new system will result in increased patient safety, convenience, and privacy while also cutting overall costs.
