Why do health care providers have to share clinical information?

When you need to receive care, it is critical that your health care provider has the most recent information about your health. Your provider can search the Florida HIE for your health information to reference while providing your care. There are many reasons providers share patients’ clinical information. For example, it helps ensure against repeating tests or receiving medications that negatively interact with each other. Providers may also share your data to ensure everyone is on the same page when providing you with health care.
