Provider Benefits

Clinical and administrative efficiency
MN HIE exchanges important clinical information not previously or readily available to providers. MN HIE services can be embedded into an existing EMR or accessed via a secure Web application. It also offers administrative staff quick access to information necessary for efficient patient managment.

Better coordination of care
Providers have quick access to a broad set of patient information from multiple data sources. Medication history is now available and new services will be available by Fall 2009, including patient eligibility, lab results, immunization history and exchange of medical record information.

Strengthen your current and future HIT investments
MN HIE interfaces with your existing technology and will be able to adapt to future, expanded technology. MN HIE can also help maximize your access to Federal and State stimulus funds and other incentives for adoption of health information technology.

If your organization is currently participating in a local exchange initiative, MN HIE can help you link with other providers.

High quality care
A 61-year-old man entered the Emergency Department at Regions feeling sick after taking too much medication to help him sleep.

He reported that he takes 13 different prescription medications, including several anti-depressants, but could not remember their names. He also couldn’t remember which ones he took to help him sleep.

Viewing MN HIE medication history in an ER using Epic

MN HIE’s medication history allowed ED staff to review a list of his medications, discuss them with him, and determine an appropriate course of treatment.

Without this critical information, the ED staff may have wasted time and resources in their effort to manage this patient.
