New Connection Alerts
We’re always looking to connect new healthcare locations throughout the state (and beyond) to help our participant network gain as much information as possible about their patients’ healthcare activities. Keep an eye on our new participant connections to determine how to use our health information services for expanded data use cases.
Data Sharing: New England Cancer Specialists
New England Cancer Specialists is now sharing ADT and Document information. As the region’s largest practice specializing in treating all types of cancer and blood, HealthInfoNet participants can now instantly access critical health data for many at-risk Maine patients.
Data Sharing: Long-Term Care Facilities
As part of the Office of MaineCare Services’ Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) data-sharing initiative intended to increase care coordination activities among the state’s long-term care facilities, HealthInfoNet has onboarded several new facilities. Montello Manor, St. Joseph’s Rehabilitation and Residence, and Maple Grove are now all sharing ADT information for their residents.
Viewing: Service Coordinating Agencies
Also as part of the Office of MaineCare Services’ D-SNP initiative, we are connecting the State’s three Service Coordinating Agency (SCA) organizations – Seniors Plus, Alpha One, and Care Lync Maine – as viewing participants (i.e., non-data sharing participants). These organizations promote independent living and help Maine residents remain in their homes longer into life by connecting them with funding opportunities and resources necessary to improve their at-home living conditions. Connection to the SCAs hope to further bolster care coordination activities among D-SNP-participating long-term care providers and their high-risk patients.
Upcoming: Department of Corrections
The State of Maine Department of Corrections will soon be sharing ADT and Vitals information on behalf of each of its adult and juvenile facilities. This new data-sharing connection aims to improve the quality and coordination of care and benefits for persons transitioning in-and-out of incarceration in the state.
For questions about our new connections or to discuss additional connection opportunities within your organization, please contact our Client Engagement team.
