At GaHIN, we know it’s all about the data. Medical and social care providers need greater access to data that can give them a more complete picture of their patients and clients. State agencies need greater access to more complete data about the populations they serve so they can better plan for and deliver services to Georgia citizens, including some of our most vulnerable populations. GaHIN’s new integrated platform not only gives all of these stakeholders access to the data they need but also gives them the ability to securely share the data to help close critical gaps in care.
With GaHIN at the center, clinical and social care providers have one place to go to see a person’s complete longitudinal record and to send referrals to ensure the person receives the proper care – all without requiring any technology other than the Internet.
As more organizations realize what is possible with GaHIN, we are seeing an explosion of interest, with new use cases being defined and new members coming on board every day. This growth equals greater depth and breadth of accessible data:
-
GaHIN’s Central Data Repository is being populated with more data – in terms of volume and different types of data, which now includes the client roster from the Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) with demographic and housing status data for matching across clinical and social data. The Repository already includes a wide variety of clinical data, such as allergies, diagnoses, immunizations, vitals, ADTs, historical lab and radiology results, and social determinants of health.
-
GaHIN’s Community Resource Directory is also growing through direct connections with various organizations, including community-based service organizations like Partners for Home and state agencies like DCA's Housing Resources Directory. We are working to finalize a connection with the United Way’s 211 service directory to populate GaHIN with thousands of Georgia community-based service organizations.
These direct feeds into GaHIN’s Directory make it easy for clinical and social care providers to access the most up-to-date resources available to assist their patients and clients. With GaHIN’s new clinical and social care platform, everyone wins.
We encourage you to contact us and learn what GaHIN can do for your organization as we remain committed to making whole-person care possible across Georgia.
