Saving lives with a state health information exchange

Listen Later

The Connecticut Poison Control Center receives on average a hundred calls a day and operates 24/7. To handle such an immense workload, the Center relies on one tool to sustain and improve its emergency response: the state's health information exchange (HIE), Connie. How does this HIE help the Center save lives? Listen to find out!

Featuring: Suzanne Doyon, MD, medical director of the Connecticut Poison Control Center at UConn Health

In today's episode, we will cover: 

  • What drove the Connecticut Poison Control Center to integrate the state's health information exchange
  • How the tool has impacted efficiency and even staff morale
  • The potential that other agencies have/could actualize by leveraging the health information exchange

    • ...and more!
