Discussion
- Partnering with WYFI
– WYFI (Wyoming Frontier Information) is a health information exchange (HIE) database system that aims to connect healthcare providers around Wyoming through one secure network. Their goal is to increase coordination between hospitals and clinics and improve patient’s care cohesion and quality.
– WYFI is an opt-out database system that houses the clinical data for patients that have received care. Providers who are a part of the HIE are able to access patient care records, insurance, emergency contacts, allergies, immunizations, and more. This helps improve care continuity by facilitating communications between hospitals.
– WYFI currently serves all but 3 county hospitals.
– If interested in learning more, please contact Janice Carney janice.carney1@wyo.gov
- Partnering with the Epilepsy Foundation of Colorado and Wyoming
– CRMC has an in-person epilepsy testing/monitoring services, however, building partnership with the Epilepsy Foundation will help expand downstream service offerings.
– Link to the Epilepsy Foundation’s website. Additionally, there is a short informational flyer attached to this email.
– Larissa Hill will join us next month to share about the program and possible partnerships.
- Expanding Behavioral Health Outreach
– CRMC is looking to expand their Psychiatric Assessment and Referral Team (PART).
– PART is made up of licensed specialists that help make decisions for a patient’s next steps as they leave in-patient care treatment.
– Currently, they’re developing a one-pager to share information about their available consultative services and partnerships.
– They’re looking to develop relationships with small clinics to deliver this service.
– Pediatric Behavioral Healthcare is a current gap
– PAL program may address this gap (Partnership Access Line). PAL is a direct service line to psychiatric consultation regardless of insurance.
– WDH-PAL Website
- Upcoming Legislative Session, and Rural Health Transformation Fund
– Waiting to see how RHTF are disseminated, WyTN is working on developing one-pagers so let us know if you’d like to partner!
– Federally the DEA flexibilities were extended, so prescribing providers can continue to prescribe via telehealth without the in-person visit requirement.
