Electronic health information exchange addresses a critical need in the US health care system to have information follow patients to support patient care. Today little information is shared electronically, leaving doctors without the information they need to provide the best care. With payment reforms providing a strong business driver, the demand for health information exchange is poised to grow. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, Department of Health and Human Services, has led the process of establishing the essential building blocks that will support health information exchange. Over the coming year, this office will develop additional policies and standards that will make information exchange easier and cheaper and facilitate its use on a broader scale.
电子健康信息交换在美国医疗保健系统中解决了一个关键需求，即让信息跟随患者以支持患者护理。如今，很少有信息通过电子方式共享，这使得医生无法获得提供最佳护理所需的信息。随着支付改革提供了强大的商业驱动力，对健康信息交换的需求有望增长。美国卫生与公众服务部国家卫生信息技术协调办公室领导了建立支持健康信息交换的基本构建块的过程。在未来一年中，该办公室将制定额外的政策和标准，使信息交换更加容易和廉价，并促进更广泛地使用信息。
