How Connie Improves Healthcare:
As Connecticut's designated Health Information Exchange, Connie will provide secure and authorized access to patient health information and complete medical records across all healthcare settings. Our mission is to improve accessibility and the quality of patient medical information. By aggregating medical data from various sources, Connie offers a 360-degree view of patient health, empowering healthcare providers to make informed decisions at the point of care. This approach results in enhanced patient outcomes and minimizes the duplication of services, optimizing healthcare efficiency.
Security and Privacy First:
We understand that your healthcare data is sensitive and must be protected. That's why Connie employs advanced security measures to keep your information safe and private. Our consistent system checks, state-of-the-art monitoring tools, and next-generation audit capabilities ensure that your data remains confidential and secure. To further strengthen our privacy and security program, an advisory committee composed of industry experts and representatives from participating organizations helps shape our protocols. Additionally, we adhere strictly to state and federal laws, with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) serving as the primary law governing health data sharing.
Connecting with Connie:
Connecting with Connie is seamless and automatic for all healthcare providers in Connecticut. Participation in our statewide Health Information Exchange is mandated by the state, ensuring that your health information is included by default. However, if you prefer not to have your data included, you have the option to opt-out at any time. It's essential to note that opting out might mean that your healthcare team won't be able to access Connie's secure online system for your health information, potentially leading to missed updates that could impact the care you receive.
With Connie, the future of streamlined healthcare information is here!
