HIT website updates
To improve usability and accessibility of our website, the HIT team made the following changes. We:
- Moved the content from the HIT section of the Medicaid Transformation resource page to the HIT webpage.
- Added a Meetings & materials page for all webinar and meeting notifications. This is also the place to go to sign up for the regular HIT operations plan meetings.
- Added a How we work page to store everything produced for the HIT operations plan. This is the place to go for technical assistance slides and updates to the plan.
Please contact us at healthit@hca.wa.gov if you have any questions.
HIT in the community
Web portal is now open for viewing data
The CDR web portal is available for viewing by all licensed processionals. This includes physical and behavioral health providers and their delegates.
Some things to remember:
- All organizations viewing CDR data must be a HIPAA covered entity and have a signed Health Information Exchange participation agreement with OneHealthPort.
- Only staff with a need to view individual client-level data may access the CDR. (As determined by their manager and configured by their internal IT access staff.) This is similar to how your organization grants electronic health records access.
- Users can complete training in one hour or less. Organizations using the CDR will not incur training costs from OneHealthPort or HCA. Reference materials are available on OneHealthPort’s website.
The User Acceptance Testing domain is open and ready for testing for those who have not completed CDR onboarding. OneHealthPort will work with vendors to help remaining providers complete their onboarding activities.
“Small provider” exception
Organizations with less than four providers are exempt from submitting Continuity of Care documents (CCDs) to the CDR until July 1, 2019. In addition, all providers may view CDR data, regardless if they currently submit CCDs.
If your organization would like to begin using the CDR, please contact OneHealthPort. If you are using the CDR web portal and want to share feedback, please contact HIT at healthit@hca.wa.gov.
