Steps to connect to the OneHealthPort HIE:

• Step One - Register with the OneHealthPort HIE

• Step Two- Sign the contract.

  
  

  Execute the contract electronically or print, sign and fax.

  
  

• Step Three - Attend a technical webcast

  Sign up to attend a technical webcast, review the webcast slides or read the documentation on how to get connected to the HIE. This process takes less than an hour and is outlined in the Provisioning Guide

  
  

• Step Four - Start Testing Transactions

  Background: All participating organizations are required to test their sample data against the standard and correct to comply as needed. Once a new trading partner passes the standard they can invite trading partners to test with them before moving to production as a trading pair for one or more transactions. Trading partners approve each new trading partner and transction set based on tests in the test environment to minimize surprises at go-live.
