Information Technology for CCHs
Seems like many of us in the development of CCHs have questions around technology. Potentially someday there will be a technology platform specifically designed to meet the needs of CCHs. But until then, we are curious to hear what others are using now. What has been your key challenges or successes related to selecting and/or implementing an information technology platform (s) for your CCH? Does anyone have specific recommendations? Have you found solutions that bridge multiple needs? If not, how many technology tools do you currently use?

Hi Triana- we are working with an IT Company who is customizing our IT platform specifically for Hub work. The product is called Implify and will have a number of features unique to supporting Hub needs. We are happy to share more information if you are interested.

One challenge for our CCH is that health plans we are working with require us to document in their system. That means that our team members are having to document in multiple systems and double documenting in many cases.

We use a platform called Welld Health. Happy to link you to them- or give you a demo of our custom built system.
@Fran would the plans be open to you providing reports instead of documentation in their system? We negotiate our contracts in that way. Explain that it is an administrative burden to your network.- see if they would be willing to discuss different options.

Hi Nikki-thanks for the suggestion. We are providing care management and doing assessments on behalf of the plans. So all of the documentation needs to be in the plan's system. When we contact the plan members we don't say we are Bay Aging. We say we are the name of their health plan.

Here's a thought....would it interest anyone to collectively (group of us CCHs) approach a tech platform like Salesforce and see if they would be interested in building a package that meets the common thread needs that we each have within our hubs? We could split the cost over several of our organizations to make it more manageable as well.

Our concern is to not only have a system to address our needs to meet contract requirements but have agency/CCH policies related to the use of such systems. This have become a major issue for us. Plans require a comprehensive list of policies related to sharing information as well a IT security. Our policies have always addressed our Federal and State requirements but Health Partners require far more.
