Event Notifications – How CommonWell is Broadening its Services

2023-01-31T04:32:54-06:00

CommonWell Health Alliance is taking the next step in applying the broad scope of our connections by offering a key service that notifies providers of significant patient events. The event notification service will start with notifications to care providers, designed to help providers deliver consistent care for patients as they move across the care continuum, and will be demonstrated at the 2019 HIMSS Interoperability Showcase. The first phase of this service notifies subscribed providers when a patient interacts with an acute care provider. All admissions, transfers and/or discharges trigger a notification to be sent to any subscribed care provider who has an existing relationship with the patient. The notification includes the type of event and the name and location of the acute care provider as well as the date and [...]

Puerto Rico Turns to Silicon Valley to Drive Clinical Interoperability

2023-01-31T04:32:54-06:00

Since Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico over a year ago, the island has been rebuilding its healthcare infrastructure from the ground up. Federally qualified not-for-profit centers (FQHCs), such as the Puerto Rico Primary Care Association Network (PRPCAN), have played a central role in this process. In 2016, PRPCAN was established to accelerate the adoption of health information technology on the island to improve access to care and reduce costs. Many Puerto Rican healthcare facilities are still not fully operational due physician emigration to the US and physical damages from the hurricane. As a result, patients have struggled to maintain continuity throughout their care journey, and providers are too overwhelmed to comprehensively manage new cases. Clinical interoperability was widely recognized as a fundamental need for rebuilding and scaling an advanced [...]

CommonWell-Carequality Connection Now Generally Available!

2023-01-31T04:32:54-06:00

Today, we at CommonWell are excited to share a milestone achievement along the path to solving for nationwide health IT interoperability: we announced the rollout of our connection to the Carequality Framework, which is now Generally Available to CommonWell members and will increase health IT connectivity nationwide. Not only do we anticipate that this increased connectivity will contribute to improvements in patient care coordination, delivery and outcomes, but we are already seeing it in action as our members and their initial pilot clients have taken the connection live and have since regularly exchanged health data. As we knock down yet another barrier to true nationwide interoperability, we consider the value this will bring to both providers and patients and recognize that this is in large part thanks to the dogged [...]

What Summer Vacation?!? Connecting to Carequality

2023-01-31T04:32:55-06:00

While families headed to the beaches, children caught fireflies and parents counted down the time until school was back in session, we at CommonWell have had a very productive summer. There are many updates we are excited to share via our blog in the coming weeks, but the most frequent question I receive is “how is the connection to Carequality going?”. And so, I thought I would provide this update first, answering that question with one word: Great! This is not to say that there isn’t still work to be done, but we have made significant strides over the past few months. For example: CommonWell has met all Carequality requirements to move into production. Cerner and Greenway Health have a handful of initial providers live on the connection, allowing us [...]

Advancing Exchange, Driving Change

2023-01-31T04:32:56-06:00

Interoperability has always been a cornerstone of MEDITECH’s vision for healthcare IT. And through our partnership with CommonWell Health Alliance®, we’re pleased to be taking another large step for connectivity, by successfully deploying CommonWell interoperability services at Alliance Community Hospital (ACH) in Alliance, Ohio. As the first fully FHIR-enabled CommonWell member, MEDITECH is leveraging the Argonaut Project’s FHIR specifications to both supply and consume C-CDA documents. These interoperability services include patient enrollment capabilities and C-CDA exchange, opening the door for more comprehensive sharing of discrete segments of data in the future, such as medication and allergy data. The Argonaut Project's FHIR specifications work with the C-CDA exchange to provide near real-time access to participating patients’ data. Such capabilities will enable ACH to bridge gaps in care and exchange information seamlessly [...]

2018 Spring Technology Retreat: Building our Future Together

2023-01-31T04:32:56-06:00

Each year, several members of the CommonWell Health Alliance technology-oriented committees [Use Case, Standards Technology and Integration Group (STIG), Deployment and Utilization, and Privacy and Security] take part in our Spring Technology Retreat. This year, more than 50 of us came together at MEDITECH in Foxborough, Massachusetts, to share knowledge, learn from one another and collaborate in a meaningful way to advance interoperability as an Alliance. As leaders of the STIG, Deployment and Utilization, and Use Case committees, we especially look forward to this retreat because of the invaluable opportunity it offers for us to sit down with our peers to share opportunities and triumphs of our interoperability efforts while working through solutions together. In our committee working sessions, and as a greater group, we traversed many subject areas over [...]
