Authorized CHIE users can augment their patient records with data from important new sources! As of February 5, 2016,data is available from Intermountain Healthcare’s 22 hospitals and over 185 clinics in Utah and Idaho, and from the Veterans’ Affairs Health Care System, including emergency services and 10 community clinics in Utah, Idaho and Nevada. Additionally, St. Mark’s Hospital and Lone Peak Hospital are sharing more detailed patient records in the CCD (Continuity of Care Document) format.

It’s simple to locate these partners’ records – just search for your patients as you normally do. Data from Intermountain, the VA and the two HCA hospitals will appear in the patient summary view. Data is automatically placed in the appropriate section for each data type (allergies, lab tests, etc.).

These partners’ information will be available in the patient’s record for 4 hours. However, data for a given patient can be accessed an unlimited number of times by searching for the patient in subsequent queries.

Intermountain, the VA, St. Mark’s and Lone Peak will provide the information available in a standard CCD, including demographic data (name, sex, date of birth, race, ethnicity, and preferred language), problems, medications, allergies, laboratory values/results, vital signs, care plans, immunizations and procedures.

UHIN continually works to make the CHIE a more valuable tool for your office. We are excited about this tremendous progress towards helping every patient get the right care at the right time. This is also an important step in improving care coordination and quality for patients who are medically underserved.

If you have questions about accessing this data, please contact your dedicated UHIN Consultant.

Did you know that you can view medication history in the cHIE for your patients who have had prescriptions paid for by Utah Medicaid? Simply search for a patient, then click on the “Medications” tab in the patient summary view to see a list of medications going back to October 2014. Click the name of a medication to see the fill date, dosage and format (solution, etc.).

Support for medication reconciliation is one more way that the cHIE supports patient safety and care coordination.
