Washington State Health Care Authority Clinical Data Repository (CDR)
The Health Care Authority (HCA) has advanced Washington’s capabilities to collect, share, and use integrated physical and behavioral health information from provider’s Electronic Health Record systems (EHRs) by implementing the Washington Link4Health Clinical Data Repository (CDR). Note that this requirement does not apply to SUD treatment providers.
HCA has partnered with OneHealthPort to develop and manage the CDR. You will find webinars and documents to help you understand the CDR and keep you updated on new developments and progress at https://www.hca.wa.gov/about-hca/programs-and-initiatives/health-information-technology/clinical-data-repository-cdr.
The OneHealthPort Clinical Data Repository (CDR) is a patient-centric database that collects clinical data from many sources across the community. The CDR is designed to simplify access to clinical history and provide a longitudinal view of an individual’s patient record. The healthcare community contributes clinical data and can view data through a Clinical Portal to see what is available from other providers to better coordinate and enhance care delivery. This service is being offered in response to the growing need to aggregate and access clinical information from diverse electronic health record (EHR) systems.
To use the OneHealthPort CDR, your organization must be registered with the OneHealthPort SSO and have a OneHealthPort Health Information Exchange (HIE) Participation Agreement.
