      <title>HHIE Adopts Innovative Solution to Advance Interoperability</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Improving interoperability&nbsp;</em></strong>— the ability of healthcare organizations to exchange patient data across different electronic health record systems—continues to be one of the toughest challenges facing health information exchanges across the country.&nbsp;This situation is often exacerbated by patients who often share their&nbsp;identify&nbsp;in different ways with different healthcare providers. Identifying and matching patient data adds to the complexity of data exchange.<br />
<br />
The inconsistencies in the way patient demographic data is captured can lead to duplicative or mismatched health records. This can have adverse clinical and financial consequences—reduced&nbsp;quality of care or delays in care for&nbsp;patients,increased hospital re-admissions, and unnecessary healthcare spending.</p>
