Vanderbilt University Medical Center will send your health information to any of the Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) that Vanderbilt participates in. A Health Information Exchange (HIE) is a secure electronic system that helps health care providers and entities such as health plans and insurers manage care and treat patients. We will send your health information to the Epic Care Everywhere HIE and other HIEs we choose to participate in. Information about your past medical care and current medical conditions and medicines is available not only to us but also to non-VUMC health care providers who participate in the HIE. You have the right to opt-out of the HIE. However, even if you do, some of your health information will remain available to certain health care entities as permitted by law.
