Michiana Health Information Network (MHIN): MHIN is a community HIE that serves more
than 600 physicians and 2,500 clinical health care providers in northern Indiana and
southern Michigan. MHIN provides secure, single-source access to patient clinical
information, and connects health care providers with a clinical data repository, results
delivery, clinical messaging, interfaces, and a fully integrated EHR.
MSMS Connect: MSMS Connect is an electronic portal that was released in January 2009
by the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS). This convenient, single-sign-on portal is a
free benefit to MSMS members that securely connects physicians to patient information and
each other for referrals and consultations, as well as to labs, patient registries, and other
resources.
My1HIE: Based in southeast Michigan, My1HIE enables physicians to share vital patient
information and collaborate on patient care with other providers. My1HIE connects users to
multiple clinical applications, including electronic prescribing, patient registry tools, e-labs,
document managers, health plans, and more. All of these applications are interconnected
and can be accessed with a unique user ID and password from any location with an Internet
connection. Currently, 1,000 physicians use My1HIE.
Michigan Health Connect: A nonprofit corporation founded by Spectrum Health, Trinity
Health, Metro Health, Lakeland Regional Health System, and Northern Michigan Regional
Health System with a purpose to advance the delivery and coordination of health care
through collaboratively leveraging Medicity's information technology and clinical data
exchange platform. Currently the organization has connected over 460 provider offices and
1,700 providers across 14+ Michigan counties with results delivery as well as laboratory and
radiology orders. Other community hospitals and health systems have indicated they will
engage with MHC to evolve a comprehensive health information exchange across Michigan.
Additionally, as noted in the survey section above, several of Michigan’s health systems and
hospitals have made considerable progress in the development of IT systems that form
integrated delivery networks.
3.1.2 Administrative HIE Readiness
Michigan has a strong history of administrative HIE including electronic eligibility and claims
transactions. The detail below describes three initiatives that are responsible for building the
administrative HIE capacity in Michigan.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Clearinghouse:
The BCBSM clearinghouse has one of the highest rates of electronic claim submission in
the nation. It processes more than 99 percent of facility claims and 92 percent of
professional claims electronically. The BCBSM web portal is used by more than 95 percent
of all Michigan providers, handling more than 70 million transactions in 2007. This web
portal supports Michigan’s Medicaid eligibility verification, as well.
Community Health Automated Medicaid Payment System (CHAMPS): CHAMPS is
Michigan’s Medicaid Management Information System. The recently implemented system
supports online provider enrollment, prior authorizations, claims submission, and beneficiary
eligibility checking; it also provides an in-box for system alerts. CHAMPS processes and
adjudicates all Medicaid claims. The new system is a secure Web portal that gives providers
a single source for direct access to enrollment, claim information, and other Medicaid-based
business functions.
Michigan Association of Health Plans (MAHP) Connect: During 2009, MAHP launched
an initiative to provide an Administrative Simplification Solution for MAHP members. This
