HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS: COVID-19 INFORMATION AND PATIENT DATA ACCESS

GRAChIE is a network that connects practitioners and healthcare settings across Georgia, all of whom have made the decision to participate for one reason – to improve patient care.

Across the country, networks like GRACHIE, known as Health Information Exchanges (HIEs), are being formed in every state. Currently, GRAChIE links providers across Georgia from various care settings, including pediatrics, primary care, long-term care, home health and hospital emergency departments. Many more doctors and hospitals are jumping on board.

GRAChIE will allow doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers to access vital information securely and electronically, reducing the need for patients to relay medical information to every health professional involved with their care.
