A Few Spots Left...eConsult Rheumatology Test Group!

The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing is starting a new eConsult program test group designed to use an online electronic consultation system built into CORHIO’s health information exchange. The system enables primary care providers and physician specialists to easily discuss care for Medicaid clients and securely share health information (medical records, lab results, imagery, etc). At this point HCPF is establishing a small test group with Rheumatologists from UCHealth and Denver Health as well as about 10 primary care practices/clinics to evaluate the system.

The test group will help with rheumatology access for your providers and clients as well as benefit the evaluation of the eConsult system. The only requirement is that the clinic must already be registered with CORHIO (meaning access to Patient Care 360 platform).

• The eConsult system is integrated into CORHIO – so there won’t be a giant leap for providers/staff who are already familiar.
• The eConsult system can be easily managed by staff/referral coordinators so providers don’t have to leave their EHR if desired.
• HCPF is paying PCMPs $10 for each eConsult. It’s like a curbside consult, but better and there’s payment.
• You all decide when it’s useful (no giant commitment for test group)

If your clinic is interested in participating, please contact JD Belshe, jd.belshe@state.co.us, 303.866.2184, HCPF
