SecureHIT Messenger
​
This service is the direct delivery of health information, integrated into a trusted directory (Trusted Bundle), part of a long term national strategy to transition from paper-based to electronic health care records that can be shared more easily to reduce costs and improve the quality of patient care. SecureHIT Direct is designed to support the goal of health information exchange between providers using electronic health records (EHRs) engaged in Meaningful Use, the Medicare and Medicaid programs that help providers to pay for and meaningfully use EHRs. It was also intended as a means of secure exchange between providers and patients. With SecureHIT Direct delivery in place, the data sharing needs of care coordination, transitions of care, and patient engagement can now be met at low costs, and with computer software familiar to anyone who has ever used email. For example, Direct messaging is now being used in several communities to alert primary care providers when their patients are discharged from the hospital, and there are early indications that these alerts are lowering re-admission rates.
