A patient’s care team, which may include doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers, along with their health plan and those working on a patient’s behalf, are among the participants who can access health information in an HIE.

This information is only shared with healthcare providers who list you as a patient in their practice or at the hospital. Providers must have an existing patient relationship to view your data in the HIE.
When required by law, certain approved entities like medical examiners and certain public health authorities might access the HIE for specific, permitted purposes.
