Spotlight on State Exchange: Indiana Health Information Exchange
In 2004, the Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE) was launched to help lower Indiana’s staggering healthcare expenses and improve the state’s consistent poor rankings in leading health indicators, including obesity, smoking, diabetes and heart disease. IHIE is a non-profit organization formed by the Regenstrief Institute, private hospitals, local and state health departments, BioCrossroads and other healthcare and community organizations in Indiana. It operates the nation’s largest health information exchange. The network serves an area with a population of about six million people and over 25,000 physicians throughout the country.
In 2010, an IHIE-led coalition was selected as an HHS Health IT Beacon Community. This effort showcases how IHIE’s robust health IT network can enhance patient care and improve outcomes while promoting a better, safer and more efficient healthcare system.
