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.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We used Medicare\u2019s Physician Shared Patient Patterns data to identify hospital pairs with the highest shared patient volume in each hospital referral region. We surveyed a purposeful sample of pairs and then calculated descriptive statistics to compare: (1) HIE with the HSP hospital vs HIE with other hospitals, and (2) HIE with the HSP hospital versus federal measures of HIE engagement that are not partner-specific.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We received responses from 25.5% of contacted hospitals and 33.5% of contacted pairs, allowing us to examine information sharing among 68 hospitals in 63 pairs. 23% of respondents reported worse information sharing with their HSP hospital than with other hospitals while 17% indicated better sharing with their HSP hospital and 48% indicated no difference. Our HSP-specific measures of HIE differed from federal measures of HIE engagement: while 97% of respondents are classified as routinely sending information electronically in federal measures, in our data only 63% did so with their HSP hospital.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Despite increased HIE engagement, our descriptive results indicate that HIE is not developing in a way that facilitates information exchange where it might benefit the most patients. New policy efforts, particularly those emerging from the 21st Century Cures Act, need to explicitly pursue strategies that ensure that HSP providers engage in exchange with each other.<\/jats:p>\n
