Abstract
Despite past attempts made to seamlessly integrate data from health information exchanges (HIE), utilization rates remain poor, as was demonstrated by a pilot study conducted at two busy emergency rooms in Indiana. The lack of functionality could be linked to the inefficiencies and workflow interruptions that occurred when users tried to access HIE data. Our goal was to find a software solution to these problems with the help of new Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) specifications and Substitutable Medical Applications Reusable Technologies (SMART).
