With only 17% of physicians currently utilizing electronic medical records nationwide, it can be difficult for patients to monitor their health status, manage their medications, maintain their personal health records and provide their physicians with the necessary information required at the point of care. Physicians also find it difficult to safely and securely share patient information with other healthcare providers when coordinating patient care, often times, missing measures and safeguards make it difficult to get the crucial patient health information they need. By improving electronic connectivity within the industry, healthcare community providers will be able to greatly improve their ability to provide quality patient care. Physicians will be able to collaborate on care with other physicians, labs, hospitals and other facilities through the my1HIE® Health Information Exchange. My WorkspaceSM enables physicians to access and share in a safe and secure HIPAA compliant online environment. This health exchange opens the electronic gateways and assists physicians in making safer, more knowledgeable decisions on behalf of their patients and will improve patient communication and involvement in maintaining wellness and improving their overall health and management of chronic health conditions.
