Health Information Exchanges are in the news right now. Here is a quick list of our HIE information for consumers:
- See WPF's HIE Category Page for privacy tips and resources all in one place
- WPF has a FAQ sheet on Health Information Exchanges for consumers here.
- WPF also has a map of California HIE's available here.
- WPF has a report with information about how to make a Request to Restrict Disclosure of your medical file or treatment. A Request to Restrict Disclosure is a new HIPAA right that gives patients the full right to demand their health records not go to health insurers under certain conditions.
