Maine Health Information Exchange Receives Nearly $200k to Integrate Data

HealthInfoNet has received $198,659 from the Maine Health Access Foundation to expand and warehouse the clinical data collected by its health information exchange, according to a MeHAF news release.

HealthInfoNet created Maine's statewide HIE, which includes approximately 900,000 patients and 32 hospitals. The company will use the recently granted funds to integrate clinical data with claims data to help healthcare providers manage payment reforms.

The two-year grant is one of three MeHAF awards, totaling $598,659, which are designed to encourage payment reform projects that will improve health, patient experience and per capital costs. Other grantees include the Maine Primary Care Association, which received $200,000 to develop a consumer-operated and oriented plan, and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, which received $200,000 to develop a Medicaid Health Homes program.
