If you
are in an emergency room, how long do you want it to take for your clinician
to find medical history on you? Days? Hours? What about when you are
in the emergency room and other offices are closed? By using CORHIO,
clinicians can find medical information about you in minutes so that
they can make better, informed choices of how to serve your needs.
Health
care in the US is provided in a costly and inefficient manner making
it more expensive and cumbersome. It is generally estimated that about
30% of the costs in health care are unnecessary costs.
Health
information exchange, both within any organization like the CORHIO partners,
and among those partners through CORHIO eliminates some of the inefficiencies
and duplicated efforts in the health care system by streamlining the
availability and use of clinical data for higher quality, more efficient
and less costly care.
