"Health information exchange (HIE) is both a system that enables patient medical records to be shared electronically and the process by which the information is shared. HIE represents a concerted, collaborative effort to digitize medical records and to provide the means for medical professionals and organizations across local, regional, and national networks to offer services that improve patient care and reduce costs and redundancies."

"The twenty-first century has already seen incredible growth in the diversity of electronic devices on the market. These include smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and an ever-increasing array of personal computers. Many of these devices combine broadband Internet and high-speed wireless networks and permit fast data transfer. The field of health information technology has benefited greatly from these circumstances. This communications technology is now used to benefit the health and well-being of millions of people, with the goal of increasing the accuracy of health-related information and the speed with which it is communicated. The field has made great strides, but patients, doctors, and other medical professionals believe it can get even better."

"The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is best known for protecting the privacy and security of patients’ medical records. It provides certain patient rights over the access, use, and distribution of personally identifiable health information, as well as criteria for information disclosures and security requirements that health care providers, insurance plans, and clearinghouses must follow. Updates to the law since its enactment have expanded patient rights, regulation of providers’ and plans’ actions, and the enforceability of existing HIPAA regulations. Public health crises such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have brought increased awareness of HIPAA protections and limitations."
