Connxus joins national network coordinating health care for Central Texans across state lines
Central Texas residents may now have a more streamlined experience when receiving health care outside of the state.
Connxus, a Central Texas health care nonprofit, joined a national network of health information exchanges known as the Patient Centered Data Home in June. The platform helps Central Texas patients receive care and exchange their health information with medical providers across the country.
How it works: If a Central Texas resident requires medical attention when they are in another state, Connxus can collaborate with other health information exchanges to alert their home provider. The network can then share a patient's medical records with an out-of-state provider and ensure the patient receives follow-up care back home.
What they're saying:“We are able to better care for the Central Texas residents, because we know what is taking place in their medical history across the state lines,” Connxus CEO Eliel Oliveira said.
