A private health information exchange has successfully connected to Massachusetts' statewide HIE, Mass HIway. The connection marks the first HISP-to-HISP connection for the organization.
Winchester (Mass.) Hospital and Winchester Healthcare Associate's private HIE, called eLINC, successfully connected to Mass HIway at the end of last month. Now, providers at the Winchester organizations can access and exchange information through the statewide exchange.
This connection paves the way for other regional and private HIEs to connect to Mass HIway.
