Conducting pilot studies on HIEs
HEALTHeLINK, in cooperation with Researchers at the Brookings Institution, conducted a pilot study to examine the impact of the use of health information exchange (HIE) technology on reducing laboratory tests and radiology examinations in emergency departments (EDs) at three area hospitals. The results of the pilot show a significant reduction in the duplication of tests.
