ABSTRACT
The ability of a health information exchange (HIE) to consolidate information, collected from multiple, disparate information systems, into a single, person-centric health record can provide a comprehensive and longitudinal representation of an individual's medical history. Shared, longitudinal health records can be leveraged to enhance the delivery of individual clinical care and provide opportunities to improve health outcomes at the population level. This chapter describes the clinical benefits imparted by the shared health record (SHR) component an HIE infrastructure. It also characterizes the potential public health benefits of the aggregate level, population health indicators calculated, stored, and distributed by a health management information system (HMIS) component. Tools for visualizing health indicators from the HMIS, including disease surveillance systems developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, are also described. Postpandemic components such as the SHR and HMIS will likely play critical roles in strengthening health information infrastructures in states and nations. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
