Big Sky Care Connect (BSCC), the statewide health information exchange for Montana, has created a unified network of healthcare providers to improve and promote public health and individual patient outcomes throughout the state. BSCC selected a solution hosted by J2 because terminology services are critical for the HIE to provide consistent, normalized descriptions for diagnoses, labs, and other clinical data across all participating health systems’ EHRs and coding systems.
MedBox is a medication dispensing service that helps patients and their pharmacists manage prescriptions. The company chose J2 to integrate the Managed Terminology with pharmacy systems and Salesforce Health Cloud, enabling patients to more easily search MedBox’s extensive database of medications, vitamins, allergies, and medical conditions. The consistent terminology allows patients to articulate their needs and medical histories so that their medications can be dispensed safely and accurately.
Healthix, one of the largest public health information exchanges in the country, wanted to improve data quality, particularly in the domain of lab test results, to ensure semantic interoperability across different healthcare organizations. The organization chose J2 Managed Terminology as their solution, allowing them to automate mapping and distribute workflow to normalize data into standard terminologies while significantly reducing the effort and costs normally associated with terminology normalization projects.
In the words of Healthix’s Senior VP and CIO, “Data means nothing. Information means everything. With the terminology project we are able to provide consistent, actionable information that removes the guesswork.”
Listen as Dave Kates, CTO of Manifest MedEx, explains the impact of full semantic interoperability on providers and patients across the State of California.
“There is a real focus by HIEs across the country to get the right data to the right clinician or care manager at the right time. That requires both quantity and quality data.”
We joined Todd Rogow, CEO of Healthix, along with Colin Hung of Healthcare IT Today and Tami Jones from CareCom to talk about the importance of data normalization and a commitment to data quality in health information exchange.
