The Health Care Authority (HCA) is pleased to share that Comagine Health will serve as the lead organization for the CIE Program, an initiative under the Medicaid Transformation Project (MTP 2.0).
About the CIE Program
The goal of the CIE Program is to strengthen data sharing and care coordination across Washington. It will improve how Washington organizations – such as social services, health care providers, state government, and Tribes – work together to address health-related social needs (HRSN). HRSN services include housing, nutrition, transportation, and screening and referrals to coordinated services.
The CIE Program will set rules and provide guidance for how organizations can share HRSN data. The program will establish a shared technology system with capabilities such as resource directories, client management systems, and closed-loop referrals.
