Direct Secure Messaging

Utilizing the national Direct Project standards, HSX helps members send and receive confidential patient health information by Direct Secure Messaging. This service transmits secure, electronic messaging between providers directly into their Electronic Health Record (EHR). If an organization’s EHR cannot support direct, HSX can provide a secure portal for organizations to use. Webmail, a web-based platform, allows providers to receive any type of clinical information including but not limited to Continuity of Care Documents, Encounter Notification Service or Referrals.

Provider Directory (PD)

Our Provider Directory (PD) contains over 15,000 direct addresses for clinical providers who actively participate with HSX. Members can utilize our directory to send secure messages regarding patients including Continuity of Care (CCD) Documents to other providers on the patient’s care team. Through our PD, members can securely communicate beyond their organization with other HSX member-based providers and participants regarding patient care.

Encounter Notification Service (ENS)

Supporting transitions of care, HSX members can subscribe to their patient populations and receive notifications when these patients have had encounters across the healthcare continuum. This would include an admission or discharge notification for hospitalizations including the emergency department, or post-acute care facilities. HSX’s external network connections support this service and provide patient access to this critical data across Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This data can be delivered through a variety of delivery mechanisms and sent real-time or as a summary list.

Clinical Data Repository (CDR)

Our Master Patient Index (MPI) serves as a database to patients in the HSX membership region. With sophisticated algorithms to accurately search and confirm a patient, HSX members can access significant clinical and claims data in one central location. Retaining information from our direct members, statewide through the P3N, and nationally from eHealth Exchange, our members can see encounters, patient problems, medications procedures, Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs), lab results and more robust clinical data. This information can be accessed in a variety of different ways to support provider’s existing workflow.

Quality Reporting

Data from HSX can help close gaps in quality reporting under programs such as HEDIS, MIPS, MACRA, and other risk-sharing agreements between providers and health plans. As a provider, you want to make sure the health plans you work with give you credit for all the care you’ve provided when calculating quality measures. Otherwise, your quality measure results may be impacted by missing data, negatively affecting your reimbursement rates.

HSX can help to ensure your health plan partners have up-to-the minute clinical data on procedures, test results, and vital signs observations that influence your performance on these measures. In contrast to payer claims data, which can lag by several months, HSX delivers data to your health plan partners in real time.
