A health information exchange (HIE) is a network that lets doctors, hospitals and labs share patient records with each other.
Start with your provider. If you are refused or get no answer, you can file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If your electronic record is held back, you can report it through the federal Report Information Blocking Portal. See who to contact in the United States.
