Health Information Exchange (HIE) Connectivity

In 2019, the Department of Health Care Finance awarded a 2-year HIE Connectivity grant to the Enlightened, Inc, which partnered with DCPCA, Zane Networks, CRISP DC and Children’s National Medical Center  to connect eligible Medicaid providers to the DC Health Information Exchange (HIE), a system of District HIE entities, including DCPCA’s CPC-HIE, that meet common privacy, security, use, and access requirements. Through this grant, the team provided education, training, and promoted enrollment and data sharing/ interoperability with one of the District's health information exchanges. As of 9/30/2021, the team had completed outreach to 311 practices and succeeded in connecting 129 provider organizations to the HIE. This effort gave those providers access to consolidated patient data through the CRISP portal and helped 105 of those organizations to acquire electronic encounter and clinical data sharing capabilities.
