Behavioral health providers contracted with Medicaid can now access OneHealthPort, Washington state’s Provider Data Service and Health Information Exchange (HIE) system, for a more comprehensive view of a client’s engagement in care.
Behavioral health providers can access the CDR at no cost to look up client utilization history and to view uploaded clinical summary documents. As an additional service, providers on the CDR may connect their EHR platforms so clinical information can be stored, accessed, and aggregated in one location. For example, a behavioral health provider can access the CDR to identify a client’s engagement in the health care delivery system to enhance coordination with other providers involved in client care.
