Securely Share Clinical Information Between Institutions and Practices
By providing immediate, real-time, 24/7 access to a patient’s full medical history, medications and other data, our secure electronic health information exchange (HIE) allows participating healthcare professionals to:
- Skip time-consuming, unprotected and unreliable methods of sharing information, such as fax, phone calls or referring to traditional paper charts
- Make better diagnoses
- Make better-informed decisions on treatment
- Reduce the risk of duplicate medications and errors
Plus, with patient information readily available—from lab results and consultation notes, to transcribed documents, clinical messaging and referrals—authorized healthcare providers and care teams alike can work more efficiently and complete tasks in a timely manner.
How The Wyoming Frontier Information HIE benefits providers
Enhanced efficiency and security are only the beginning.
By working together to bridge different facilities and providers throughout the state, the Wyoming Frontier Information (WYFI) HIE allows participating doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals access to the same updated clinical information—resulting in the ability to take the best possible care of Wyoming patients.
Below, you’ll find an overview of all the services the HIE provides, as well as how each service empowers participating providers to maximize the quality and management of care they deliver every day.
Analytics/Population Health Reporting
Aggregates and normalizes patient data for population health management and surveillance
Informative and efficient, this service eliminates the need for providers to request, fax and scan patient clinical information.
Clinical Event Notifications
Creates alerts for patients who have been admitted, discharged or transferred from community healthcare facilities
Stay in the know with patient admission/discharge/transfer event notifications, allowing providers to seamlessly coordinate transition of care from hospital to primary care settings. (See a video of this feature in action here.)
Community Health Record
Provides access to a patient’s clinical records (including laboratory results, radiology reports, transcribed reports, medications and clinical care summaries) from all WYFI data sources
Streamlined, 24/7 access to a patient’s clinical information not only reduces the need to call providers to search for clinical information but also allows care teams treating a patient to access clinical information that may not be readily available. (See a video of this feature in action here.)
Direct Secure Messaging
Allows healthcare providers to quickly and securely send/receive clinical information to/from other providers electronically
Faster, more protected and more reliable than providers requesting, faxing, or scanning a patient’s clinical information. (See a video of this feature in action here.)
Electronic Results Distribution
Directly routes results from WYFI data sources (including laboratory results and radiology reports) into the provider of record’s certified Electronic Health Record (EHR)—or, for providers who don’t have a certified EHR, a local platform that enables sending and viewing of clinical results data
Save time—and enhance security—by directly routing information digitally instead of faxing, manually scanning or attaching clinical records to the patient’s electronic medical record.
