For Morgan Honea, CEO of CORHIO (a Contexture organization), the value of interoperability between healthcare and dental settings revealed itself during his earlier career running federally qualified health centers (FQHCs).
“I’ve spent most of my career integrating primary, oral, and behavioral healthcare in a service delivery setting,” Honea told EHRIntelligence in an interview. “There are so many medical conditions that impact oral health and vice versa that creating better interoperability and insight into a whole patient’s health is critical.”
Now, a partnership between Colorado Dental Association (CDA) and CORHIO will explore how data sharing between dentists and healthcare providers could advance patient-centered care delivery. Dental care providers who enroll in the pilot program join CORHIO’s HIE and save the implementation fee of $10,000, plus receive two months’ service.
