The Alaska eHealth Network was selected by the State of Alaska to develop and manage the State’s Health Information Exchange service (HIE). After a thorough due diligence process, Orion Health was selected as the HIE vendor to provide the software and experience to facilitate the HIE. Currently, AeHN is managing a pilot program with hospitals and clinics statewide with the expectation that the service will be open to AeHN members this summer.
An electronic health record and health information exchange have the potential to significantly improve the health status of Alaskans while at the same time reducing costs, improving safety, and supporting research.
Health Information Exchange Service includes:
- Composite Record Viewing
- E-Master Patient Index / Record Locator Service
- Secure Messaging
- Audit / Privacy & Security
- Patient Portal w/Personal Health Record
- Public Health Reporting

AeHN Fact Sheet – PDF
When critical information is available in real time at the point of care, the risk of a medical error is greatly decreased. And, when past test results are included in the EHR, duplicate and expensive tests may not be needed.
No need to repeat your medical and personal history, contact data, or insurance and billing information! You give it once, and it’s in your EHR. Decreased paperwork and immediate access to records, labs and other test results increases efficiencies and lowers costs for all involved, including you, the patient. 
With an Electronic Health Record (EHR) providers have secure, immediate access to your essential medical information to support quick, accurate diagnoses and treatment. 
Paper records are still in use in many facilities; they are unwieldy and easily damaged and require outdated and error-prone faxed or telephoned exchange of information. Contrast them with electronic health records that have legally-mandated safeguards built in to ensure your privacy and the secure exchange of your medical information.
