HI-BRIDGE HIE is a member affiliate of Georgia’s state HIE, Georgia Health Information Network (GaHIN),

through which bi-directional data exchange enables users to have access to statewide and nationwide patient clinical record data at the point of patient care. Our HIE creates a longitudinal patient record by aggregating data from all participating entities and uses a federated approach to query data from GaHIN.

HI-BRIDGE HIE is an active member of the eHealth Exchange network

to facilitate coordination of care through the nationwide exchange of patient clinical data. eHealth Exchange is the largest healthcare information network in the country and is now a designated QHIN under TEFCA.
