Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) has been recognized by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as a trailblazer when it comes to transforming healthcare access and support across its home region of southern California.

And now, it’s also a pioneer when it comes to the unprecedented sharing of data, which enables systemwide efficiencies, improved patient outcomes and better care quality for its membership base of 1.5 million people.

The leaps forward come in large part due to IEHP’s use of The dbMotion^™ Solution from Altera Digital Health, an interoperability platform that integrates discrete patient data from diverse care settings regardless of the original data source.

In IEHP’s case, that means data flowing in from more than 100 unique interfaces coming from 28 unique facilities, including hospitals, physician offices, labs and radiology partners and a user base that ranges from pharmacists, nurses, care coordinators and clinical analysts.

“Right now, we do quite a bit of data integration outside of dbMotion, but what we did with dbMotion is connect it to our local Health Information Exchange (HIE) so all our HIE data will eventually flow through there,” said Shawna Sanchez, Business Process Engineer for IEHP. “To date, we have data from 12 health systems flowing to dbMotion as well as our high-volume lab and radiology vendors.”
