For Long-Term Care, Skilled Nursing and Home Health

In long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) settings, care providers are faced with enormous challenges when coordinating care for patients transitioning to and from multiple and diverse care settings. Hours can be spent making phone calls and tracking down information on patient status, lab results, medications, and treatment plans. Colorado now has a secure health information exchange (HIE) network that gives care providers in your organization access to patient records from hospitals and labs across the state. To see a list of organizations participating and the type of data is available, see Participating Providers.
