The CORHIO HIE is a network that links physicians and other medical care providers throughout Colorado and provides access to patient information, including lab test and pathology results, x-ray, MRI, other imaging reports and physician transcription reports.
By participating in HIE, health care providers have more patient information used to improve quality of care, testing and reduce treatment delays and hassles for patients related to paper medical records and reports.
In addition to the hospitals affiliated with the two health systems, five medical practices in northern Colorado have also signed agreements to participate in CORHIO’s HIE.
Poudre Valley Hospital and the Medical Center of the Rockies, which PVHS operates, will join the CORHIO HIE.
Banner Health’s four hospitals in northern Colorado will also join the CORHIO HIE, including East Morgan County Hospital, McKee Medical Center, North Colorado Medical Center and Sterling Regional Medical Center.
With the addition of PVHS and Banner Health there are now 11 organizations in northern Colorado beginning the process to connect to the HIE, including Daniel Jinich in Fort Collins, Front Range Center for Brain & Spine Surgery in Fort Collins, Miramont Family Medicine in Fort Collins, Wellington and Red Feather Lakes, Northern Colorado Pain Management in Greeley and Urology Center of the Rockies in Fort Collins.
Later this summer the network is scheduled to include patient medication lists, allergies and immunizations.
