Perceptions of and barriers to health information exchange use among emergency medicine and inpatient internal medicine clinicians in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan region.
Health information exchanges (HIE), tools that electronically share clinical data across healthcare organizations, provide the opportunity to improve patient care. While widely available, HIE is utilized in only 2%-10% of patient encounters. Few studies have explored current barriers to use. The goal of this study was to evaluate current clinician perspectives on HIE and barriers to use at the point of care.
