Hawaii to Implement Statewide HIE

Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie and Hawaii Health Information Exchange, a non-profit designated by Hawaii to develop a statewide health information exchange, have signed a memorandum of agreement outlining a plan to develop and implement a statewide health information network, according to Hawaii HIE news release.

In 2010, Hawaii HIE secured over $5.6 million in federal funding to create the exchange. Hawaii HIE selected Medicity, a provider of HIE technology, as the exchange partner. Medicity will build HIE in phases beginning with direct messaging to allow physicians and other providers to indicate preferred information when receiving a patient referral.
