Austin and Houston are now live on HIETexas, THSA’s state-level shared services. Physicians, hospitals, and other providers in Austin, for example, through the Austin-based HIE Integrated Care Collaboration can now share electronic patient records with Houston-based Greater Houston Healthconnect.
In addition to the Houston and Austin-based networks, Texas has eight other local networks that provide secure access to electronic health records in their communities. Once connected through HIETexas, these local networks also will be positioned to securely share health information across the state.
