Making Information Actionable
Caring for your patients: Decrease hospital admissions by accessing PHIX’s medical records.
In a study done by Dr. Sloan-Aagard titled “The Impact of Community Health Information Exchange Usage on Time to Reutilization of Hospital Services” the effect of Health Information Exchange (HIE) access on patient readmission was reviewed.
This study reviewed the Paso del Norte Information Exchange (PHIX) and found that doctors’ use of the health information exchange was associated with an increased length of time before the patients were readmitted to the ED from 99 to 238 days. Further, the likelihood of a patient readmission to the ED decreased by 53% while re-hospitalizations decreased by 61%.
