HIE networks improve pediatric care in several ways:
Improved Coordination: With access to a child's complete medical history, healthcare providers can better coordinate care, reducing the risk of duplicated tests and procedures. Enhanced Decision-Making: Real-time access to patient data allows for more informed decision-making, especially in emergency situations. Patient Safety: HIE networks help in identifying potential drug interactions and allergies, which is particularly important for children who may not be able to communicate their medical history effectively.
