Health IT Analytics reports on HEALTHeLINK, the health information exchange (HIE) of western New York, as it continues efforts to improve population health, streamline clinical workflows, and boost data quality through more than 5,000 participating providers.
In its 2018 Report to the Community, HEALTHeLINK states that one million continuity of care documents (CCDs) are uploaded annually to HEALTHeLINK.
“Making sure that providers have their patients’ most complete and correct clinical information at the point of care via HEALTHeLINK continues to be critical for improving care quality and mitigating health care costs,” said Dan Porreca, HEALTHeLINK’s executive director.
