DC RHIO - Amalga Trainings
(Photos by Audrey Kudler.)



DCPCA conducted hands-on training sessions in early March 2010 for new users of the DC Regional Health Information Organization (DC RHIO) health information exchange (HIE) system.  For many of the attendees, it was their first opportunity to use the live system and try their hand at looking across multiple community health centers and hospitals to find data on their patients.  Eighty-three attendees represented all six of our early adopter health centers – Bread for the City, Family Medical and Counseling Service, Inc., La Clínica del Pueblo, Mary's Center for Maternal and Child Care, SOME, and Whitman-Walker Clinic.  The attendees were enthusiastic about the new HIE system and the opportunity to practice using the DC RHIO in real scenarios.  In addition to the training sessions for health centers, DCPCA conducted offsite training at Georgetown University Hospital with their emergency department doctors via conference call.  The DC RHIO went live on March 1st.  For more info, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , Senior HIT Coordinator, at (202) 638-0252 ext. 202.

Yes, I believe everyone deserves to get the right care, at the right time, and in the right place -- regardless of their ability to pay.

I want to support DCPCA's efforts to bring primary care to DC's low-income and uninsured residents.
