Keystone Health Information Exchange™* ADVISORY - We have recently changed our name to reflect a commitment to the entire state of Pennsylvania. We look forward to working with care givers throughout Pennsylvania to share important patient information when it's appropriate.
KeyHIE supports the Strategic Framework promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services "to drive improvements in health care quality, safety, and efficiency". While it was initiated by Geisinger Health System, the Exchange will be governed by representatives from participating organizations across the region. Significant BenefitsThere are many benefits for patients and their providers in this connected future. One common scenario is illustrative: Following an automobile accident, a patient arrives at an emergency room where she has never been seen before. An electronic look-up reveals that the patient was recently seen at a nearby hospital. Her problem list, allergies, and recent lab results are immediately available to the treating physician. Our VisionTo enable high quality, convenient, efficient, healthcare in northeastern and central Pennsylvania. Our MissionCreate an environment to facilitate secure and timely access to comprehensive healthcare information. View our Mission, Vision, and Values. |
