We are living in an age of miracles when it comes to medical science. Modern healthcare professionals have a wealth of tools at their disposal to help patients recover from diseases that were once almost always fatal and improve the quality of life for many more individuals. As technology advances, we are all becoming more closely connected, including physicians and other healthcare providers.

Currently, the term “Health Information Exchange” is used in a broad sense, encompassing many different platforms and methods of sharing information within the medical community.
