CDR frequently asked questions
- The CDR collects Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs). This decision was based on a requirement to use CCDs as part of Promoting Interoperability (formerly the Meaningful Use Program). To date HCA has not enforced compliance.
- The clinical portal is currently the only way to access CDR data.
- Query functionality allows electronic health records systems (EHRs) to import data from the CDR. HCA and OneHealthPort are piloting this capability with one provider at this time. There is no timeline for a formal rollout.
- HCA is working on an electronic consent management solution compliant with C.F.R. 42 part 2 and hope to have a pilot ready by mid-2020. HCA wants to hear from providers interested in participating in an electronic consent management pilot!
- HCA is in discussions about additional reports from the CDR.
- HCA is in talks with DOH on how to integrate PMP and Immunization registry data.
- Entities actively exchanging health information exchange (HIE) transactions and those submitting CCDs to the CDR are at OneHealthPort.
How to get CDR access
For new subscribers, and until further notice, OneHealthPort is waiving the HIE participant annual subscription fee for one year to view patient data through the CDR web portal. Use of other HIE services during this period voids the offer. Please contact OneHealthPort for complete details.
The CDR web portal
The CDR web portal is available for viewing by all licensed professionals. This includes physical and behavioral health providers and their delegates.
- All organizations viewing CDR data must be a HIPAA covered entity and have a HIE 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.
