Using notifications of hospital admissions
The Nebraska Health Information Exchange (NeHII) receives notifications of patient hospital admissions and discharges using HL7 ADT messages. These messages are used to generate notification to support PCPs, hospitals, and care givers from home health agencies. NeHII provides the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Omaha with daily alerts of hospital admissions and discharges for their patients. VNA receives approximately 400 notifications per week for patients enrolled in their services. This service has increased the efficiency of intake processing, reduced time spent by VNA calling hospitals, and enabled more timely follow-up with patients.
