Overcome the barriers of EHR integration across the community.

Smartlink Data Connector (SDC) helps HIE’s connect all providers, including behavioral health, dental, post-acute care facilities, long-term care, and home health.  Integrating with an HIE with SDC is more affordable, and requires zero effort for clinic staff. SDC can also increase the value of the HIE for payers by getting deeper data that isn’t available via API, such as social history, immunization data, and dates of service for procedures, diagnoses, and medications.

Consistent Cost

Pre-known cost, regardless of EHR mix

Predictable Time

Integration timelines are short and predictable

Community Wide

Any system regardless of operating environment

“As the State of North Carolina’s HIE technology partner, we knew it was important to provide options for connecting to the state-designated Health Information Exchange, NC HealthConnex, particularly for those healthcare clinics with specialty-specific electronic health records. Our partnership with Smartlink has made a difference as we edge closer to the goal of linking health care providers in North Carolina.”

Get the HIE data you need in your EHR and in a format you can use.

HIEs are a goldmine of data, but providers have to leave their workflow to look at it. Even EHRs with bidirectional HIE integration flood providers with unusable data, making it time-consuming to sift through. For primary care providers, much of this data is redundant, as it often originates from their own records.

With Smartlink, you can receive just the data you need – such as hospital discharges, care gaps, or new diagnoses and medications – within the EHR clinical workflow.

Bidirectional integration that delivers real value to providers.

With SDC’s bidirectional HIE to EHR integration, the data in each system is compared. Only critical information that is in the HIE but missing in the EHR, is provided within the EHR.

Here’s a snapshot of what Smartlink customers have achieved:

  • Up to 30% of patients have diagnoses in the HIE that are missing in the EHR
  • Up to 12% of patients have a potential drug-to-drug interactions unknown to the PCP
  • Automatic extraction of ADT and discharge summaries for transitions of care saves time and ensures more patients receive the care they need.

 

SDC decreased the average time it takes to complete a clinic EHR integration for one HIE by more than 70%.
