Comp9 Unit10 Self Assess

The document discusses health information exchange (HIE), which enables the interoperable linkage of health care information across organizations within a region. It addresses concerns about privacy of personal data included in federated electronic health records (EHRs). For an HIE to function properly, certain infrastructure and standards must exist to support aggregation of data into a single patient record across regional networks and provide virtual national networking. A control center for an HIE should contain aggregated regional data and linkages to other centers, but need not accommodate millions of patients internally.
