OneHealthPort is streamlining its login process with login pages that go directly to the eligibility and claims information of the health plan you are trying to access.
With every health plan's website being different it is sometimes difficult to locate the OneHealthPort login button on their websites, or the login was hidden inside other pages. Now clicking on the name of the health plan on OneHealthPort's access services page will take you to the OneHealthPort login tool, then into the provider section for that health plan. See Link Here
A recent fix of our website to allow use of the Internet Explorer version 9 browser has created a bug in the ability of a OneHealthPort administrator to revoke a subscriber account.
Users with existing OneHealthPort accounts can still log-in to health plan sites to do daily work and administrators are able to use all other administrator functions on OneHealthPort.
We are actively working to resolve this problem through an application fix. Until this issue has been resolved, we provide the following directions for how to manage subscriber accounts using the affiliations function of the administrators menu.
Attached is a brief video of the affiliation tool and step-by-step instructions, see Link:http://onehealthport.com/services/FAQaffiliations.php

More health plans and hospitals are looking for provider credentialing data in ProviderSource. Now is the time for providers to complete data entry and attest to their record using the free ProviderSource data management service. This service reduces paperwork and creates efficiencies by offering a central database for all health plans and hospitals to access credentialing details.
You will find information, tools and tips on how to use ProviderSource using this link http://www.onehealthport.com/pdsindex.php

Evergreen Hospital Medical Center and Puget Sound Family Physicians join the OneHealthPort HIE
Good endings and great beginnings were the theme for the OneHealthPort HIE this past month. In late December Evergreen Hospital Medical Center joined the HIE trading partner community. Puget Sound Family Physicians joined in early January to get the New Year off to a great start.
Evergreen Hospital Medical Center - In the late 1960s, residents of northeast King County decided the best way to provide hospital services to their growing area was to form a public hospital district, much in the same way a fire district or a school district provides services. Voters approved King County Public Hospital District No. 2 in 1967, and their levy money was instrumental in building the original Evergreen General Hospital, which opened in 1972.
Evergreen Hospital Medical Center is the cornerstone of services provided by King County Public Hospital District No. 2. These include medical groups, home care, hospice and many community health programs.
Puget Sound Family Physicians - Puget Sound Family Physicians is comprised of four family care medical offices in Edmonds, Snohomish, Marysville, and Woodinville serving both King and Snohomish counties. This clinic system has over 40 physicians that strive to offer patients convenient, high-quality care supported by extensive use of their electronic medical record system.
With funding provided by a local hospital via federal Stark Law Relaxation legislation, Puget Sound Family Physicians participated in a project in 2008 working directly with other practices during all phases of the switch from paper-based to digital healthcare, advising each group's leadership and sharing best practices for clinical content and workflows.
Puget Sound Family Physicians is a member of GE Healthcare's (Barrington, Ill) Medical Quality Improvement Consortium (MQIC), a service which allows healthcare organizations to submit de-identified patient data from Centricity EMR and then access quality outcomes reports - allowing an objective assessment of patient care quality at PSFP against established standards. Through participation in MQIC, all eligible providers at Puget Sound have achieved certification from the National Committee for Quality Assurance for their Diabetes Physician Recognition Program.

Thinking outside the "transaction box" with the OneHealthPort HIE
While the HIE today supports the secure exchange of many common electronic health information transactions, there are many other uses of the HIE that trading partners are beginning to explore. Several clinics are looking to the HIE as a method to facilitate referrals in their community through the use of a "community" referral form and the CCD. Other organizations are considering the OneHealthPort HIE as a "ready infrastructure" that can be used to support sharing of information and reports for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). The OneHealthPort HIE encourages trading partners to reach out to members of their healthcare community and begin sharing ideas about transaction exchange or other creative ways to simplify shrign data with partners.
More organizations looking to leverage the OneHealthPort HIE
The OneHealthPort HIE team continues to provide information, participate in technical discussions, and coordinate conversations
with trading partners as they explore their options for information exchange through the HIE. Overlake Hospital Medical Center,
MultiCare Health System, Seattle Children's Hopsital, Department of Health, Premera Blue Cross, Harrison Medical Center, Kennewick General
Hospital, Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, First Choice Health Network, and Inland Imaging are some of the organizations exploring
the best ways to leverage their technology investments through the HIE.
