UHIN and cHIE helping to coordinate care across state lines

The cHIE is helping to coordinate care across state lines as part of a live “patient-centered data home (PCDH)” exchange with HIEs in Arizona and western Colorado: the Arizona Health-e Connection and Quality Health Network, respectively. Through the PCDH initiative, providers who participate in any of the HIEs can receive secure electronic notifications and patient summaries when their patients have encounters at hospitals in one of the other HIEs’ networks. This is a huge step in making the goal of a secure, nationwide health information exchange a reality!
