HIE is a vital initiative by Healthcare professionals and the Healthcare industry to improve the methods of computer systems in Healthcare Information Exchange. This initiative specifically promotes the coordinated utilization of established standards such as HL7, DICOM, OASIS, and W3C to address specific clinical needs in support of optimal patient care. Likewise, HIE provides a technical framework comprised of a series or detailed specifications for communication among systems to address key clinical use cases, all based on these established standards. These types of profiles address critical interoperability issues related to information access for care providers and patients, clinical workflow, security, administration, and information infrastructure. These profiles are defined by HIE to undergo stringent validation and testing by its several hundred key member organizations from around the world.
