HITEQ Health Center Behavioral Health Integrator Badge
Health centers are increasing the integration of behavioral health in primary care, spurred by an increased focus on whole person care and additional funding. Effective use of health IT in conjunction with patient privacy and confidentiality is imperative to support behavioral health.

According to the Office of the National Coordinator, "Health information technology can help to improve behavioral health care and can further enable care coordination and integration, increase information sharing, and support prevention, treatment, and recovery activities. Access to and the exchange and use of behavioral health information as part of routine care can help to improve continuity in care services and support efforts toward achieving an interoperable health care system across the continuum."

Using your EHR for Population Health Management

A Cross-reference Tool

HITEQ Center 0 17484

Health centers are interested in managing population health but may not have the budget needed to purchase specialty suites. This tool will guide health centers in leveraging the “built in” functionality of certified EHRs to perform PHM functions by mapping the native PHM functionality available in the common certified EHRs used by health centers.  The aim is to help health centers to understand where to start in implementing PHM using what they already have available to them.

The Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients’ Assets, Risks, and Experiences (PRAPARE)

HITEQ Center 0 20990

The Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients’ Assets, Risks, and Experiences (PRAPARE) is a national effort to help health centers and other providers collect the data needed to better understand and act on their patients’ social determinants of health. As providers are increasingly held accountable for reaching population health goals while reducing costs, it is important that they have tools and strategies to identify the upstream socioeconomic drivers of poor outcomes and higher costs. With data on the social determinants of health, health centers and other providers can define and document the increased complexity of their patients, transform care with integrated services and community partnerships to meet the needs of their patients, advocate for change in their communities, and demonstrate the value they bring to patients, communities, and payers.
