Accessing the CDR

OneHealthPort’s subscription fee applies only to providers sending data to the CDR. Please contact OneHealthPort for complete details.

The CDR web portal

The CDR web portal is available for viewing by physical and behavioral health providers and their delegates.

  • Individuals viewing CDR data must be HIPAA compliant and have an HIE participation agreement with OneHealthPort.
  • Only staff with a need to view individual client-level data may access the CDR. (As determined by their organization and configured by their internal IT access staff.) This is like 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.

As always, please contact us about presenting an overview of the CDR to your virtual gathering of healthcare industry professionals at healthit@hca.wa.gov.
