Telehealth with the Statewide Health Informa􀆟on Exchange (HIE)

Project Overview

This project will leverage data from the statewide Health Information Exchange (HIE) implemented by the Mississippi Hospital Association (MHA).
As part of the project, a key use case will involve receiving identifiable patient information into the HIE in order to track real-time and historical hospital and emergency department (ED) utilization. This capability will allow care teams to monitor where and when patients are accessing acute care services across the state, identify patterns of frequent utilization, and demonstrate impact of various Telehealth programs in reducing acute care and ED utilization.
In Year 5, the scope of data use will expand to focus on multiple key populations: children with medical complexity, individuals receiving HIV care, students utilizing school-based Telehealth and patients on rpm for chronic diseases. These populations will benefit from longitudinal tracking and data-driven insights derived from HIE utilization data.
