physicians, hospitals, clinics, labs, pharmacies, dentists, veterinarians and
chiropractors just to name a few. Patients want to gather and access their
healthcare information Online; but most importantly, in a secure, comprehensive
and user-friendly location. Microsoft® has created the perfect solution with

providers to connect to Microsoft® HealthVault.

What is HePoEx Microsoft® HealthVault Connector Service (HVC)?
HVC is a Microsoft® HealthVault enabled service that allows
physicians, dentists, veterinarians, chiropractors, optometrists, physiotherapists, home health care providers, hospice facilities,
hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories and other
healthcare entities to send digital copies of patients' health records
to their Microsoft® HealthVault account through a secure and simple process. One or more
documents in the health record can be combined into a Health Information Package (HIP). Patients can import these packages directly into their HealthVault account and share it with other providers.
What file formats are supported by HVC?
HVC support transfer of documents in Continuity of Care Record (CCR) and the Continuity of Care Document (CCD), which have become the standard formats
for healthcare data transfer. However, if the provider's system is unable to generate these formats,
Health Postbox Express works with almost any electronic document format including but not limited to
PDF, GIF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, word documents and text. Formats not currently supported can be added.
