Case Study: Puerto Rico builds its first health information exchange with Health Gorilla

Puerto Rico - Customer Case Study

The Puerto Rico Department of Health partnered with Health Gorilla to modernize its healthcare infrastructure by building the island's first health information exchange. This initiative was necessary to overcome the challenge of disparate clinical systems and enable the secure electronic transfer of patient data across thousands of providers.

Health Gorilla implemented its platform to integrate directly with various EMRs, lab systems, and public health databases. This solution aggregated and matched data from these multiple sources, allowing providers to securely retrieve and share medical records. The result is a foundation for modernized care, providing customizable analytics to visualize clinical trends and inform public policy for the population of Puerto Rico.
