eHealth Exchange
Description
The eHealth Exchange is a rapidly growing health information network of exchange of public and private sector partners who securely share clinical information over the Internet across the US, using a standardized approach. By leveraging a common set of standards, legal agreement and governance, eHealth Exchange participants are able to securely share health information with each other, without additional customization and one-off legal agreements. Initially, the eHealth Exchange was incubated within The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, part of the US Department of Health and Human Services, before transitioning management to The Sequoia Project, an independent 501c3 dedicated to addressing interoperability issues, in 2012. In 2018, the health information network became a separate non-profit organization. Since then, the eHealth Exchange has become its own non-profit corporation and more than quadrupled in size to become the nation's largest public-private health information network of its kind, supporting 120 million patients across: - 50 states - 4 federal agencies (DoD, VA, HHS including CMS, and SSA) - 75%+ of US hospitals - 70,000+ medical groups - 3,400+ dialysis centers - 8,300+ pharmacies - 61 regional and state health information exchanges
