Jefferson Health Information Exchange Reliance Ehealth Collaborative

The organization implements and manages an electronic Health Information Exchange network that allows a patient's Health Information to be accessible througout the patient's respective Health care community. This network facilitates the Exchange of electronic Health Information among providers in communities served. The benefits of the Exchange include reducing medical errors associated with incomplete Information available to providers of medical care, improving communication among Health care providers and their patients, reducing the number of duplicative tests, facilitating more efficient clinical referrals and transitions of care, and reducing the cost of Health care, especially medicare and medicaid costs and Oregon Health plan costs, thereby reducing the burden of government.
