NextGen Healthcare announced a collaboration with Serving Communities Health Information Organization. This alliance will help California?s medical providers to meet 2024 data exchange regulations by using NextGen Healthcare?s Mirth interoperability solutions, including: Mirth® Health Data Hub, a data integration and interoperability platform, and Mirth® Connect, an integration engine that enables the seamless exchange of health data between various healthcare systems. The California Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS) recently introduced its new Data Exchange Framework (DxF), a set of extensive data exchange standards that guarantee California residents access to their medical records at any site of care in the state. With DxF requirements becoming mandatory across California on January 31, 2024, Santa Cruz-based SCHIO is leveraging Mirth Solutions by NextGen Healthcare to help providers navigate the rigorous new data exchange policies.

Using Mirth Health Data Hub to aggregate clinical data from diverse sources and Mirth Connect to achieve frictionless interoperability, SCHIO reduces the administrative burdens on providers and helps healthcare organizations improve the quality of shared information to address forthcoming DxF requirements. The collaboration between SCHIO and NextGen Healthcare also supports California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM), an initiative of the California Department of Healthcare Services to standardize and streamline Californians? access to physical, dental, behavioral health services, and more.
