The joint HIE is a secure gateway used to connect to participating provider organizations across the United States who agree to securely share clinical information with the DOD, VA,


Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s NOAA Corps providers. Participating provider


organizations include single-physician offices to multi-hospital systems outside the federal health care systems (DOD, VA, USCG and NOAA Corps) that participate in the joint HIE. The joint


HIE enhances the ability of DOD, VA, USCG and NOAA Corps providers to access patient electronic health information quickly and securely from participating provider organizations and vice


versa. Participating provider organizations now have a single point of entry to request and access DOD, VA, USCG and NOAA Corps patient information to support the continuity of care for


service members, Veterans, and other beneficiaries. The launch of the joint HIE is a critical step forward in significantly expanding DOD, VA, USCG and NOAA Corps partnerships and


interoperable capabilities. The FEHRM continues to optimize and expand the joint HIE.
