OVERVIEW
Healthcare Information Service Provider
A secure, web-based messaging system for exchanging patient health information among healthcare providers, labs, and other entities. It ensures the regular transmission and receipt of Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Digital HIE’s Direct Secure Messaging (often called Direct exchange, or Direct for short) utilizes the Direct Standard™, a technical standard for exchanging health information between healthcare entities (e.g., primary care physicians, specialists, hospitals, clinical labs) in a trusted network. A Trust framework helps to improve interoperability between entities by defining a common set of operating rules.
Key Features
- Secure data exchange
- Regulatory compliance
- Enhanced patient care coordination
Direct utilizes identity-proofing to ensure messages are only accessible to the intended recipient, in accordance with the protection regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This is essential for participating in Promoting Interoperability programs.
