A New Era for Data Interoperability
We’re excited to announce the CHIE is moving
to a new FHIR®-enabled platform in 2024.
The new platform empowers CHIE users to better understand patient populations, provide greater care, reduce waste while improving quality, and pinpoint at-risk patients to intervene before their next encounter. The enhanced user experience will put data at your fingertips and our FHIR®-native exchange streamlines data sharing while preparing you for future requirements.
After consulting with our community’s advisory committee, we will be migrating five years of data with the exception of opt out consents, immunizations, allergies, and colonoscopies for which a longer history will be migrated. Technical implementation is currently underway and we anticipate user migrations will start in Q2 of 2024. We will keep all CHIE users informed of our progress via email.
What Enhancements Can You Expect?
Waste Measures
Waste measures such as repeat imaging studies, ambulatory care sensitive condition ED visits, and repeat cardiac studies or blood tests.
Quality Measures
Quality measures such as HbA1c results under 7 percent, Ischemic Vascular Disease, and severe diabetes will also be available in the CHIE portal.
Enhanced FHIR® Capabilities
Our new platform was built on HL7® FHIR® which allows for morex` efficient and secure sharing of data across enterprises.
Improved Security
The new platform is fully secure, HIPAA compliant, and will incorporate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
FHIR-based Data Warehouse in Google Big Query
The new platform includes a FHIR® Enabled Enterprise Data Warehouse that supports the collection, organization, modeling, mining, and conversion of healthcare data into quantifiable, usable information. UHIN will be able to utilize this to assess data quality and program reports.
Please note: In most cases the transition will be seamless to you. We’ll reach out to you if this is not the case.
New Experience for CHIE’s Clinical Portal Users
CHIE Portal users will see the greatest updates in a modern user interface that offers access to Health Information Exchange (HIE) data through FHIR® standards. Portal users will be able to search and view patient data,and results notifications, as well as waste and quality measures. Users will be able to configure their dashboard to optimize workflows.
The CHIE for You
The new platform allows us to better assess data quality and work with our sources on improvements. Through the evolution of the CHIE, we will continue to deliver and share the data that you receive to improve health outcomes and further interoperability.
Data Validation
We will be performing internal UI validation prior to the data migration to ensure completeness and accuracy.
We will reach out to data sources if an issue is identified.
