ONC EHI Export
EHI (electronic health information) Export is a feature that allows users to export electronic health information (EHI) from certified health IT modules, such as EHRs, in a computable and electronic format.
EHI Export is one of the requirements of the Promoting Interoperability Program, which aims to encourage the adoption and meaningful use of certified EHR technology (CEHRT)
EHI Export has two components: a single-patient EHI export and a patient population EHI export.
- It supports single patient EHI access requests, which can help patients obtain a copy of their health records in a timely and computable manner.
- It supports the entire patient population EHI export, which can help health IT developers and health systems transfer or migrate data to another system or product.
But EHI does not include psychotherapy notes as defined in 45 CFR 164.501 or information compiled in reasonable anticipation of, or for use in, a civil, criminal, or administrative action or proceeding.
EHI Export is intended to support the interoperability and data access goals of the 21st Century Cures Act, which prohibits information blocking and requires the use of standardized APIs for EHI access and exchange.
EHI Export also supports the transition to the United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) standard, which defines the data classes and elements that are essential for nationwide interoperability.
The Theralytics Health IT Module provides a process to create reports and export data in a variety of formats.
By default the following fields can be exported in a standard report.

The data can be exported in the following formats.
