Health Information Exchange Platform

LaHIE is a secure network that enables authorized health care providers and organizations to access and share health-related information from authorized locations across the state. Since launching in 2011, LaHIE has grown to include more than 522 signed providers, hospitals, health systems, clinics, home health agencies, school-based health centers (SBHCs), ambulance providers and other health care-related organizations and entities across the state, and has been recognized nationally as one of the country’s more advanced HIEs.* LaHIE not only offers two-way exchange of real-time patient data across systems and settings, it also enables health care organizations to leverage that data for improved quality and outcomes while reducing costs and maintaining competitiveness within their markets.
