Q1. The health Information Exchange (HIE) is one of the most used systems in present health
care organisations. The process of this system is to progressing and recording health care
information within the electronic system. These data would be circulated within the regional
or community hospitals. The HIE system is working as the system which circulates the
clinical information among other health care systems (Campbell, 2013). The factor of the
HIE is providing access and retrieval of the clinical data among the health care organisations
and systems in order to provide safe, efficient, effective and timely care to the patients with
patient centred and equitable care approach. Hence, the system is working as a database and
effectively formulating required data to organisations and health care processes to identify
and deliver safer patient care within time. The access of the data would be under the
organisation circulating the data and thus the information safety would be controlled and care
provided efficiently to the patients. The process of the data management is very much safe as
the electronic system is secured with security software and the access is under one
organisation providing the care (CMS.gov, 2015). Hence, it can be stated that the process of
the health care information system would be controlled with the Federal laws and also the
consent of the patients are taken before the recording of the information. Thus the
information system would be termed as safe and effective in the health care providence
system sector.
Q2. HIE is the data storage of the patients and circulatory system as well among regional
organisations. Moreover, the health care system is focusing on the process of the care
facilitating for the patients with efficiency and safety. On this context it has been found that
the HIE is recording managing the records of the health information of the patients. The
factor of the HIE is recording the medical data of the patients, health check-up reports and
also cost of the health care process with the consent of the patients for the further use. The
HIE is often used for the Medicaid process and the medicinal data of the patients would also

be stored in the system in order to provide the patient further assistance for the better and
timely care (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015). The factor of the HIE is safe as centralised
database controls the data flow. Moreover, the decentralised process of the data storing and
circulating requires the consent of the patients along with the federal regulation maintenance
such as HIPAA as well (HHS.gov, 2015). Hence, it has been found that the patient health
care information including the cost of the health care is stored and circulated by this system.
Hence, it can be stated that the process of the health care information storing is
compartmentalised based on the patient needs and conditions as well. Based on this context it
can easily be stated that the HIE is one of the system that is dependent on the health
information technology and federal law of the local and national government.
Q3. HIE is one of the safest system in the health information management as it is controlled
by the federal law. However, the system is an electronic system and cannot be perfect. On
this context it can be stated that the regulation and circulation of the data is controlled
through several security processes and thus the data management sometime lack the time
efficiency and affect the health care process in emergency needs. The process of the care is
dependent on the patient health information and the HIE is the process which records all the
data regarding the health care information and the progress of the patient along with the
Medicaid information as well. Hence, if the data management is failed in certain time of
requirement the process of care would be hampered (Samuels et al., 2015). Thus it can be
stated that the process of the health care data management of through HIE should be more
robust and mobilised for the effective care providence to the patients. On this context it can
be stated that the health care data management is safe and effective as well. However, the
fetching of data should be more effective in terms of time and also the consent of the patients
should be considered with priority.
