Abstract
Hospitals that routinely share patients are those that most critically need to engage in electronic health information exchange (HIE) with each other to ensure clinical information is available to inform treatment decisions. We surveyed pairs of hospitals in a nationwide sample to describe whether and how hospitals within each hospital referral region (HRR) that have the highest shared patient (HSP) volume engaged in HIE with each other.
