Abstract
This paper presents four Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) designed as crucial metrics for assessing the effectiveness and influence of IHE [1] Cross-enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) based Health Information Exchange (HIE) infrastructures, with a focus on supporting collaborative healthcare and care coordination use-cases. The identified KPIs center around registered document volumes (70 million), exchanged DICOM studies (91.000/month), exchanged documents (525.000/month), and the count of registered patients (21 million). Through a comprehensive analysis of these KPIs, the study draws insights from an IHE XDS-based health information exchange in the Netherlands, encompassing data from 27 healthcare institutions utilizing the Dutch XDS Cloud service. The findings contribute valuable insights that extend beyond the specific context, providing applicable knowledge to the broader landscape of XDS-based health information exchanges. The KPIs identified in this paper show evidence that the Dutch XDS Cloud Service successfully supports care coordination and patient referrals use-cases in the Netherlands.
