HIE Portal Tools & Applications
Clinical Information
Our HIE Portal provides a comprehensive clinical data application with real-time access to key medical information. Preloaded patient data, including overdose alerts, encounters, labs, radiology reports, care summaries, immunizations, and problem lists, is available directly within the provider’s workflow—no extra login or navigation required.
This section includes the patient’s demographic profile and lists next of kin. It also provides alternate contact information if available.
Clinical Data includes overdose alerts, inpatient and outpatient encounters, labs and radiology reports, summaries of care, and separate consolidated lists of the patient’s immunizations and problems.
Medication Management consolidates medication information from a patient’s continuity of care documents (CCDs) into a single, centralized location, streamlining access and making it easier to compare and review medications quickly.
The Care Coordination section includes the patient’s Care Team, along with details about the patient’s care program and manager.
This section includes highlights when a patient has reported to a provider that they experience problems related to social issues known to impact health using z-codes.
Single sign-on to Alaska’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP).
The health records section provides navigation into laboratory, radiology, and clinical notes.
The problems section lists any active diagnoses currently associated with a patient.
Any health records sent in the standardized form of a CCDA (Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture) will be displayed under Structured Documents.
Immunizations administered during a clinic visit will display here.
PDMP
The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) tracks the dispensing of drugs containing controlled dangerous substances (CDS). Its primary goal is to help healthcare providers, pharmacists, and public health professionals identify and prevent prescription drug abuse. At the same time, the PDMP ensures that prescription data is used responsibly, supporting both the integrity of medical practice and patient access to necessary medications.
Population Explorer
Population Explorer is a user-friendly application within the HIE Portal that allows clinicians and care teams to monitor patient encounters, providing real-time notifications for hospital visits and a six-month encounter history. Powered by the CRISP Event Notification Delivery (CEND) technology, Population Explorer ensures seamless access to up-to-date patient data directly from the HIE Portal.
Key features include:
- Access & Review: View your patient panel and export recent encounters.
- Filtering: Filter encounter data based on your specific needs, including Inpatient, Emergency, Z-code, Diagnosis code, Facility type, and Date range.
- Intra-Portal Navigation: Seamlessly access clinical data and prescription drug monitoring (where available) directly from the application widget in your HIE Portal.
- Customizable Alerts: Tailor notifications to meet specific clinical needs, helping to manage patient populations more efficiently and improve patient care coordination.
- Enhanced Care Coordination: Use CEND to facilitate care transitions, meet quality standards, and capture revenue opportunities.
