Description
What is the future of
clinic-community-public health electronic referrals and data exchange?
Where should we be going and what kinds of new relationships will
be forged? What new technology will be needed to effect widespread
electronic referrals and data exchange? What new opportunities will
unfold then to improve patient care coordination and evaluate health
impact?
This webinar will focus on
work underway in Massachusetts to create an open-source referral and data
exchange program and to pilot clinic-community programs to address these
questions. An electronic gateway will also be created for use by
community-based programs that have no electronic record system.This
work is made possible through a new Prevention and Wellness Trust and a
recently awarded CMS State Innovation Grant. The open-source tools
developed in Massachusetts will be made available to all states. A
description of the process and the timeline for completion will be
discussed.
The goal of this webinar is
to promote conversation around technologies and relationships emerging in
the e-world and already on our doorstep.
