KLAS questions vendor claims on health information exchanges

Vendors may suggest that many successful health information exchanges have been built with their technology, but the reality is different, according to a new report from KLAS. A small number of vendors - with Axolotl among the top - have risen to the challenge enough times to claim a proven, repeatable model, the Orem, Utah-based research firm found. In the report, KLAS validated 89 live HIE organizations that use commercial technologies to share patient data that is viewed by doctors. The HIEs included in the study had to be exchanging data among facilities that are not owned by the same organization.
