What are the problems OpenHIE is seeking to address?
Health care team's view of the patient has become fragmented into disconnected facts and clusters of information and is distributed amongst a broad assortment of healthcare personnel with specific, limited interactions with an individual patient and differing vantage points into their health.
Health information systems, like healthcare personnel, also operate independent from one another. The result is disaggregated information stored in different locations and formats, making it impossible for data to be harmonized, and for healthcare personnel to share knowledge, collaborate in care, and truly understand the full breadth of an individual’s health history.
