Six state HIEs to get Direct messaging
Six state health information exchanges (HIEs) will receive Direct messaging capabilities from ICA, which develops HIE interoperability technology.
ICA's CareAlign technology helps users take advantage of Direct messaging in a health information services provider (HISP) environment, and helps providers start out with Direct and expand to a more complete HIE technology.
More than 4,000 providers are now taking advantage of Direct technology, via HIEs including Central Illinois Health Information Exchange, Iowa Health Information Network, Kansas Health Information Network, Upper Peninsula Health Information Exchange, New Jersey's Meridian Health Systems and Pennsylvania's Allied Health Information Exchange.
