Data Transmission
Our data transmission methods provide critical views into key patterns and trends across healthcare settings throughout the state so that our customers can study the health and performance of targeted patient populations and interventions to inform important decision-making.
public health reporting
Our data integration engine automates the delivery of real-time alert notifications to the Maine Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) in support of hospitals’ public health reporting needs, including syndromic surveillance, electronic laboratory, and immunization registry reporting efforts.
Syndromic Surveillance
Reporting events of care with chief complaints that indicate possible disease or condition that require review/intervention by the Maine CDC for public safety and health.
e-Laboratory Reporting
Reporting laboratory results that indicate existence of any of the seventy-two diseases that require review/intervention by the Maine CDC for public safety and health.
Immunization Reporting
Reporting all state-supplied vaccine administration data to the Maine Immunization Information System (ImmPact), as required by the Maine CDC for record keeping.
DATA EXTRACTION
We develop custom and standard options for delivering raw (e.g., real-time Admission/Discharge/Transfer (ADT) transactions) and/or enhanced (e.g., comprehensive/limited data sets) data extracts according to project specifications and HIE data governance permissions.
Real-Time ADT Transactions
- Custom patient attribution drives ADT message retrieval queries.
- Selected ADT messages sent in real-time to participants via VPN tunnel.
Enriched Data Sets
- Standard and custom data set file formats (.txt, .csv), sent daily, monthly, or quarterly depending on participant preferences.
- Custom patient attribution drives data set retrieval queries.
- Patient demographics, encounters/visits, and value-added/analytic information specifications available upon request by participants.
