Reminder: Opportunity for Including Community e-Connect in Year 2
Community e-Connect is a bi-directional linkage between clinical electronic health records (EHRs) and community-based organizations (CBOs). Clinical providers electronically refer patients with diabetes, pre-diabetes, or hypertension to CBOs with programs that can help control these conditions. In turn, CBOs document a patient’s enrollment, their attendance and progress, and electronically send this information back to the clinical provider, where it goes directly into the patient’s EHR.
 
Six states are currently utilizing their Year 1 funding to implement Community e-Connect, and NACDD is offering the opportunity to additional states for Year 2.  Information is available here
