The HIE currently facilitates the exchange of electronic health data for approximately 2.7 million county residents, according to Health Data Management.
Scripps Health joined the HIE in October 2013, but a spokesperson for the health system said it has taken time to sort through integration and consent issues to finalize the connection, according to the report.
The two systems are expected to go live on the HIE this summer.
Scripps Health and Sharp Healthcare join University of California, Rady Children’s Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, VA San Diego Healthcare System, Navy Medical Center of San Diego and 14 community health centers and clinics on the HIE, according to the report.
