Novant Health connects to VA through federal HIE

Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Novant Health has connected to the federal health information exchange, linking its EHR the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Novant Health was the first healthcare system in North Carolina to join the federal HIE, named eHealth Exchange. The new connection allows clinicians to share patient information across both health systems.

The VA does not directly connect with any state, public or private HIE, and can only be accessed through the eHealth Exchange, according to a hospital news release.
