Providing a Repository of Data

November 21, 2016

The Wellport HIE in a rural area of Northeast Massachusetts provides a repository of data for almost 260,000 patients. Data feeds to the repository come from labs, SureScripts, hospitals, and physician practices. Clinicians can access this data through a portal. The patient data displays in a timeline format. The clinician can click on any appointment on the timeline and open an actual progress note. The note can be attached along with others to a Direct message to themselves, the patient, or another clinician or institution. Wellport also provides a patient portal where the patient can view and send their data, update their demographics, and request appointments, prescription refills or send a message to their clinician. Over 9,600 patients have opted in to use the system. Wellport also extracts performance measures from its database for Beth Israel Deaconess Health Care affiliated physicians and relays them for analytics.
