Statewide Unifying Architecture

"Other important aspects of a successful SHIE include:

• Consent Management
• Identity Resolution
• Provider Directory
• Community Resource Inventory

"Long-Term SHIE Goals for Providers

• SHIE will connect providers to the data they need to more effectively meet their patients’ holistic needs.
• SHIE will reduce the amount of time providers spend on paperwork by creating efficiencies that make time spent more productive.
• SHIE will build a data sharing network that enables providers to not only send closed-loop referrals, but also to avoid sending patients to services that do not work well for them.

"Long-Term SHIE Goals for Individuals

• SHIE will remove data silos, which will make seeking and receiving care more approachable and equitable.
• SHIE will promote whole-person health. Individuals will no longer have to separate the aspects of health and wellness that are in fact deeply connected.
• Individuals will not need to recount complex medical and social histories over and over again or take the same screenings multiple times when visiting a provider. This will save time and improve the experience of seeking care.
