In the press release at the time from Regenstrief, a medical and public health informatics research organization that has been at the core of health IT innovation in the Indianapolis region for 40 years, officials brought up the following question: “You are rushed to a hospital in an emergency, is your complete medical record available to those caring for you? Will they know all medications you have been prescribed and whether you are taking them as directed? Does your primary care physician know your complete medical history?” Indeed, according to clinician-informaticians of the Regenstrief Institute, the answer to these questions is almost always "no." Not having complete health information available often results in subpar care and can endanger patients.
In August, the Indianapolis-based Regenstrief Center for Biomedical Informatics announced that it was piloting the use of the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard to merge data from individual electronic health records (EHRs) with those stored in the Indiana Network for Patient Care (INPC), Indiana's common framework for health information exchange (HIE).
