FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Antonio, TX – December 1, 2024 –
C3HIE, a leader in health information exchange (HIE) across Texas, and Journal My Health (JMH), a patient-centric health data platform, announced a strategic partnership to empower patients and improve care coordination. This collaboration will leverage JMH’s innovative platform to enhance patient engagement and facilitate seamless data sharing between patients and their care teams.
Through JMH, patients can securely access and manage their health information, track their health progress, communicate with their providers, and access educational resources. This increased engagement is expected to improve patient satisfaction, better adherence to treatment plans, and more efficient care coordination.
We are excited to partner with Journal My Health to further our mission of improving healthcare delivery across Texas,” said Phil Beckett, CEO of C3HIE. “Patient-generated health data is becoming increasingly important in today’s healthcare landscape. Integrating JMH with our HIE can provide a more holistic view of each patient’s health, allowing providers to make more informed decisions and deliver better care.”
A health information exchange (HIE) like C3HIE allows healthcare providers to access and share vital patient medical information electronically and securely. This improves the speed, quality, safety, and cost of patient care by ensuring that everyone involved in a patient’s care has a complete and up-to-date understanding of their health history. The importance of HIEs and interoperability in healthcare is growing as the industry shifts towards a more connected and collaborative approach.
The integration with C3HIE will enable real-time data exchange between patients and their entire care team, including physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. This seamless flow of information will enhance communication, reduce duplicate testing, and improve overall care coordination.
“”We are thrilled to be working with C3HIE to bring the benefits of our platform to patients from San Antonio to Dallas-Ft. Worth, Abilene, and across rural Texas,” said Tracey Welson-Rossman, Founder of Journal My Health. “Integrating with the HIE is a key step in our mission to empower patients and improve healthcare outcomes. This partnership will demonstrate the value of patient-generated health data in creating a more connected and collaborative healthcare ecosystem.”
This partnership marks a significant step in Texas’ patient-centric care and health information exchange. Both organizations are committed to leveraging technology and collaboration to improve patient outcomes and enhance the overall healthcare experience.
