Update: CHIE Portal and Clinical Data Repository Platform Migration
We’ve been working hard with our vendor to set up the new CHIE portal and Clinical Data Repository, as well as migrating data and connections for our interfaces. We anticipate going live at the end of September. We’ll send weekly updates with more information on what to expect. Click here to learn more about the new CHIE Platform.
Portal users will see a more modern experience, including an updated homepage dashboard and patient summary. Based on feedback from users, we are migrating 5 years of data. We will migrate a longer history for allergies, immunizations, colonoscopies, and opt out requests.
If you are not currently using the portal, you should not notice any changes in current functionality, and your alerts and interfaces should continue to work as they always have.

Bridging the Gap: Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) and Information Blocking Compliance
As healthcare continues to share data and information more frequently, the importance of adhering to information blocking regulations cannot be overstated. Particularly as disincentive regulations for healthcare providers went into effect on July 31, 2024. See how HIEs play a role in Information Blocking Rule (IBR) compliance and benefit both patients and providers.
