Colorado RHIO chooses Medicity for statewide HIE

The Colorado Regional Health Information Organization (CORHIO) will use a technology platform developed by Medicity to build out a statewide health information exchange (HIE).

CORHIO, a not-for-profit organization based in Denver, is collaborating with Colorado healthcare organizations and providers, representing 90 hospitals, more than 7,500 physicians and millions of patients statewide. The RHIO will use Medicity’s technology platform to implement HIEs across the state, starting with the San Luis Valley region, the Salt Lake City-based company said.

With letters of intent from healthcare organizations in Boulder, Colorado Springs, Northern Colorado and Denver, CORHIO plans to introduce HIE in a second region this summer. In five years, the organization aims to connect more than 85 percent of healthcare providers and hospitals in Colorado to the statewide HIE.

CORHIO is also collaborating with Quality Health Network, a regional HIE operating out of Grand Junction that provides services to healthcare providers in western Colorado.
