Clinical Health Information Exchange for Providers

Meaningful patient data at your fingertips.

The Clinical Health Information Exchange (CHIE) is the only HIE in Utah. We also exchange data with surrounding areas and on a national scale.

With a suite of products and services to improve the management of your own patient data, as well as access to data collected from outside of your system, the CHIE is making interoperability possible.

UHIN’s HIE covers 95% of the hospitals in Utah

Case Study

Granger Medical Clinic

Granger’s TCM team has used the CHIE and Alerts to reduce readmission rates by more than half. The team has taken readmissions down from 23% to 9%.

Additionally, Granger increased the number of patients they identified from about one per week to an estimated 750 per month.

Data Sources

The CHIE includes records from more than 8 million patients from 1,300+ providers and 50+ hospitals in and around Utah.


Data Normalization

Don’t waste your Analysts’ time cleaning and preparing data! The CHIE can normalize, transform and de-dupe your clinical data sets so that your Analysts are freed up.

Clinical Records Exchange

Even today, Clinical Records Exchange is done using slow, out-of-date methods like Fax or CDs! A patient’s data should electronically follow them anywhere they go.

Another challenge: Records are often stored at different healthcare organizations and frequently are not shared. UHIN’s solution allows you to connect directly from you EMR or through our Provider Portal to access these records.

We’re modernizing and streamlining the secure sharing of data with our Clinical Records Exchange.
