The patient has unrestricted access to their medical record across all health providers within a community.
The patient is now the “owner” of their medical record, can share it with any provider of their choosing, and has access from anywhere in the world.
Secure electronic communications with their healthcare providers, insurance companies, and the local health departments with documented date and time.
The patient no longer has to pay an administrative fee to the provider and wait up to 10 days to get a copy of their medical chart.
The patient can now receive their detailed lab and test results within one to five business days instead of waiting two to five weeks, or perhaps never receiving them at all.
Patients will no longer be required to provide patient registration and medical history at every point of healthcare access within a community.
Patients can impact the quality and customer service levels of healthcare within their community by participating in automatic surveys for each provider encounter (summary survey results will be available for all community participants).
Provider participation requires them to list their most frequent charges, education, special training, quantity of procedures performed, and more for the patient to access in order to make the best choice for their care.
Patients will feel more secure about their healthcare privacy by receiving electronic notification of when their medical chart has been accessed by a healthcare individual, at which time the patient may determine if their healthcare privacy has been violated and report it.
Patients can choose to receive electronic notification of preventive care opportunities, defined by industry standards of age, sex, and disease without relying on their own memory or individual provider practice patterns.

Introducing the Greater Flint Health Information Exchange - Michigan's newest HIE

Introducing the Greater Flint Health Information Exchange - Michigan's newest HIE. Our mission at the Greater Flint Health Information Exchange is to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery while increasing overall participant experience through the use of patient-centric medical information systems that encourage patient and provider ownership of preventative care and electronic patient-care coordination throughout the community.

As part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA 2009), the Electronic Health Record Incentive Program (EHRIP) was created and provided many benefits for everyone involved in the continuum of patient health care, up to and including the patient. The EHRIP provisions, also known as “meaningful use requirements”, require the medical industry to provide patients with electronic access to their medical records. By providing patients with electronic access to their medical records, the EHRIP achieves its mission to encourage patients to become active participants in their own wellness. Electronic access to medical records may be achieved through a variety of methods such as:

• Supplying patients with a portable thumb drives containing relevant medical records;
• Offering patients the ability to use a kiosk in the waiting room to access their medical record;
• Providing patients with access to a secure and encrypted Internet website to view their medical record.

One of the greatest challenges with achieving efficient and quality health care is coordinating a patient’s care between health care providers. Today, coordination is poorly attempted by having patients complete a clipboard survey of medical history at each point of medical care. This fundamental process reduces the integrity of the patient medical history because clipboard surveys differ, they may not be completed accurately each time, and the information isn’t generally shared with the different providers which results in fragmented silos of patient medical record information across the community. The Greater Flint Health Information Exchange (GFHIE) improves that patient and health care delivery experience. All physicians, hospitals, laboratories, radiology labs, physical therapy clinics, and home health services that provide health care services in Genesee, Shiawassee, and Lapeer counties may choose to be part of the GFHIE and contribute to a patients medical record. In turn, all patients that live in this region enjoy free access to:

• Their complete medical record;
• Laboratory results, scheduled appointments, medication lists, and immunizations...in real time;
• Monitor the privacy of their medical record;
• View medical education material, and much more.

When health care providers become participants of the GFHIE, their patients benefit by becoming partners in their wellbeing. The GFHIE is the tool to help empower patients in becoming educated consumers of health care.
