Patient Resources
Patient Participation
Patient Participation in KHIN’s Health Information Exchange (HIE) enables secure, digital transmission or “exchange” of patient health information among healthcare providers. By participating, providers can manage patient care more efficiently and effectively, ultimately leading to improved care for you, the patient.
Benefits of Patient Participation
When it comes to your healthcare data and allowing providers to securely access your information to improve your health outcomes, you are in the driver’s seat. You can allow participating physicians, hospitals and other healthcare-related entities to share your health information through KHIN’s secure network.
- Emergency room care teams can quickly access your health history.
- Care doesn’t all happen in only one facility. Ensure all your providers can access critical information such as medications, allergies and immunizations.
- Avoid duplicative medical tests and labs.
Opt-Out or Opt-In
Participation in KHIN’s HIE is an individual decision. Opt-Out prevents your information from being available through the HIE. Patients can update their choice at any time and can opt back in (Opt-In) to allow their information to be shared through the HIE.
Visit www.kanhit.org for more information on the Opt-Out/Opt-In process.
