Explore how real-time health data can drive emergency care

This white paper explores how real-time health data exchange can enhance emergency care coordination and patient outcomes. It examines the challenges of data siloes between EMS providers and hospitals, hindering critical care decisions. The document highlights a Michigan Health Information Network (MiHIN) pilot project supporting bidirectional interoperability. Key features include EMS accessing patient data via a MiHIN portal and sharing records with hospitals in real-time. Hospitals receive comprehensive patient information before arrival. The project aims to close the care loop by enabling EMS to receive discharge reports, improving care delivery and billing.
