HIMSS, in collaboration with the National Association of County and City Health Officials, has released a toolkit for public health departments to better understand health information exchanges.
The toolkit offers resources to help health departments understand how they can use such resources, how to assess if an HIE is worthwhile for their department and how to implement HIEs.
Organizations can take advantage of fact sheets outlining important information regarding HIEs as well as decision-making tools to become actively engaged and proactive about potentially implementing an HIE.
