Abstract
Successful transition of patients between health care entities is difficult. Historically, the process of transitioning individuals through the corrections system with regard to health care was made even more challenging by the limitation of paper records. Recently, the advent of electronic medical records has improved health care nationwide. The use of health information exchange (HIE) systems in areas such as emergency medicine has also impacted patient outcomes. To date, this technology has not been used in the corrections system. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 correctional health care professionals, corrections staff, and public health entities to evaluate the novel implementation of HIE at a local correctional facility. This article describes the challenges and successes that occurred during the implementation and their implications for successful implementations in the future.
