DHIN will upload CCDs to Availity Clinical Data Solutions, a technology that ingests data from multiple sources and makes it into an asset that can be deployed into medical record summaries.
Since going live in December 2024, DHIN has processed over 340,000 CCDs, covering over 125,000 patients through the Availity platform.
A CCD is a structured electronic summary of a patient’s health record, designed to support care among multiple providers.
CCDs are in use but often vary in structure due to inconsistent adherence to standards and differences across electronic medical record systems.
“Continuity of Care Documents are an essential part of DHIN’s services,” said Dan Eckrich, director of Data Management at DHIN. “Having the ability to partner with an organization like Availity to enhance CCDs is essential. It’s been a great working relationship with Availity to get this pipeline established and seeing this data improved and sharing with a larger group has been great for DHIN.”
“Clinical data holds immense value, but inconsistent formatting and disorganization can limit its potential,” said Ashley Basile, chief product officer for Availity Clinical Solutions. “Through our partnership with DHIN, we’re enabling cleaner, more usable CCDs that make it easier for providers to see the full picture of a patient’s health."
The collaboration will continue to scale, with both organizations working to increase CCD volume, extract discrete data elements, and further integrate the improved documents into DHIN’s infrastructure. The goal is to improve clinical workflow, accelerate transactions, and reduce delays in patient care.
