What type of information may MSK share through health information exchanges (HIEs)?
Examples of information MSK may share include:
- Name, date of birth, gender identity and birth sex, and address.
- Past and future appointments.
- Doctor name.
- Institution name.
- Future MSK admissions, discharges, and transfer notifications to your other providers.
- Medical conditions.
- Medications.
- Allergies.
- Past surgeries and procedures.
- Results of surgeries, procedures, and other tests, including blood work, radiology, and pathology.
- Visit notes.
When does MSK share this information through health information exchanges (HIEs)?
MSK makes updates to clinical information through the HIEs every day. We make these updates:
- When patients are admitted to the Urgent Care Center (UCC) or to one of our hospital locations
- Right before or when patients are discharged from the Urgent Care Center (UCC) or inpatient services
Should I let MSK see my health records through both Healthix and Carequality?
Yes. We strongly encourage you to give your consent (permission) for us to see your health information through Healthix. You don’t have to do anything to see your health information through Carequality. We can give you better care if you let MSK see your health records from your other providers through both Healthix and Carequality since some providers don’t use Healthix, while others don’t use Carequality.
