VITL is legislatively designated to operate the Vermont Health Information Exchange (VHIE), a secure, statewide data network that gives health care organizations in Vermont the ability to electronically exchange and access their patients’ health information in order to improve the quality, safety, and cost of patient care.
VITL collects, matches, and standardizes patient data from health care organizations across the state, including hospitals, primary and specialty care providers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, home health providers, nursing homes, commercial labs, and others.
The data is made available to stakeholders, including participating health care organizations, to inform providers’ point-of-care decisions; to OneCare Vermont and the Vermont Blueprint for Health for their work to improve and reform care; and to the Vermont Department of Health to support public health efforts in service of all Vermonters.
