QHN is excited to share important updates regarding our unified health information exchange (HIE) platform migration with Contexture. Our teams are working diligently on the platform transformation to ensure we continue to deliver the highest quality and most innovative solutions to all our participants. The new platform is planned to be available during Q4 of 2025.
Focus on Data Quality at Scale
Our new platform will connect over 1,000 interfaces to unite more than 2,500 participants across Arizona and Colorado, ultimately managing approximately 30 million patient identities. It will increase your ability to seamlessly obtain the data you need through improved performance, functionality, identity management, reporting, analytics and security.
Migration efforts are focused on ensuring data quality at the point of ingestion to support more actionable and meaningful data products to all participants.
New Platform Migration Timeline
Now through 2025, QHN and Contexture will continue working to build a platform that ensures the quality of clinical data sent into the HIE meets industry standards and provides proactive feedback to data contributors to address any identified data quality issues. The new platform will become available to QHN participants during Q4 of 2025.
We can’t do this without you — our HIE is successful only because of our participants’ commitment to data and information sharing for better care and better outcomes for patients.
Key Benefits and Improvements for Our Valued Participants
Some of the key benefits you can expect on the new unified HIE platform are:
- Improved system performance and enhanced functionality to support the promotion of patient health.
- The ability to deliver the results directly into your systems, rather than simply informing you that data is available in our portal.
- Access to Part 2 substance use disorder (SUD) data with general designation consent so the patient’s consent applies to all treating providers.
- Improved standardization of both inbound and outbound data, as well as a dedicated focus on data quality.
- Unlocking numerous opportunities for public health advancements, offering deeper insights and enhancing analytical capabilities.
- The ability to leverage sophisticated role-based access controls, ensuring that your portal users can only access data as authorized.
- Additional methods of receiving clinical results, such as Direct Secure Messaging (DSM), directly to the EHR or other secure methods via Results Delivery and Quick Results.
- The ability to incorporate current program reporting requirements and anticipate future reporting requirements to increase funding for your organization.
Looking Ahead
QHN and Contexture are confident that these platform enhancements will significantly benefit you and your organization. As noted above, we need your help and support to stay on track with planning timelines for connecting data senders. We appreciate your continued support as we work towards delivering a superior HIE technology platform that serves you, our participants, in the best possible way.
