The Hawai'i HIE has been closely working with Beth Giesting, the state's Healthcare Transformation Coordinator, and others in the health care community to build the foundation for the exchange. "The Hawai'i HIE is playing a major role in our efforts to transform our current health care system into one that coordinates care for better outcomes, lower costs, and improved patient and provider satisfaction," Giesting said.

About Hawai'i Health Information Exchange


The Hawai'i Health Information Exchange (Hawai'i HIE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit established in 2006 by leading health care stakeholders in Hawai'i for the purpose of improving health care delivery throughout the State through seamless, effective, and safe health information exchange. In September of 2009, Hawai'i HIE was designated by the State to develop and implement a statewide health information exchange that will ultimately feed into the Nationwide Health Information Network (NwHIN). Hawai'i HIE has a strong and exemplary Board of stakeholders who are determined to transform the current state of health care in Hawai'i into one that coordinates care, reduces costs for patients and providers, addresses the needs of the aging population, and provides incentives to patients to take a more proactive approach to their health care. www.hawaiihie.org or www.hawaiihie.ning.com
