Connecting Care Communities in Georgia
Physicians regularly complain that technology has complicated their workday and added a new level of administrative burden.
There are benefits, however, and one of the most notable is the ability to better track and securely share patients’ interactions with care providers, including hospitals, labs, imaging and more. In Georgia, these connections are made possible through the GaHIN, the state-designated health information exchange (HIE).

Patients
In today’s digital age, most doctors and hospitals are converting their patients’ paper charts, laboratory results, radiology images and other treatment information into electronic versions—and they’re sharing this vital information with other authorized healthcare providers on an “as needed” basis via highly secure health information exchanges (HIEs).
