Western North Carolina Health Network

Western North Carolina Health Network (WNCHN) is a regional consortium of hospitals and health systems dedicated to improving healthcare quality and efficiency through collaborative data sharing and regional cooperation. The organization's primary service is WNC DataLink, a health information exchange (HIE) that provides clinicians with secure, real-time access to patient clinical data across participating facilities. By facilitating the exchange of electronic health records, WNCHN enhances care coordination, reduces redundant testing, and supports population health management. The network serves as a critical infrastructure for healthcare providers in Western North Carolina to address regional health challenges and share best practices.
