Glossary

CommonWell Health Alliance

A not-for-profit health data network whose members, mostly EHR vendors, link patient identities and exchange clinical documents across their systems. It connects to Carequality so its participants and Carequality's can reach each other, and it is a designated Qualified Health Information Network under TEFCA.

Also CommonWell

CommonWell is a network in the ordinary sense, where Carequality is an agreement between networks. Founded in 2013 by a group of EHR vendors, it runs the services its members’ customers use to find a patient’s records at other members: a record locator that links one patient’s identity across organizations, and document exchange between them. A practice or agency whose EHR is a CommonWell member is on the network through that vendor; it does not join on its own.

Two facts matter for an agency trying to get outside records:

  • It reaches Carequality. Since 2018 CommonWell has been connected to the Carequality framework, so a query from a CommonWell participant can reach a Carequality participant and the reverse. In practice the two together are what people mean by “the networks”.
  • It is a QHIN. CommonWell was among the first networks designated under TEFCA in December 2023, so its participants also exchange under the federal framework as it grows.

The vendors most relevant to post-acute and home-based care have come onto the networks through one or the other: the home health EHRs that offer a built-in records query generally do it through CommonWell or Carequality, and whether a given agency can query depends on which EHR it runs and whether the feature is turned on. A network query made through a service like Vivlio does not depend on the agency’s EHR at all.

Talk to us

Start a conversation about your medical records

Send your details and the calendar opens right here. Book thirty minutes and we will walk a record through the view you would actually use, or skip the call and we will come back in writing.

  1. Send your detailsTwo minutes. Your organization, name, email and phone, and the time records cost you; the rest is optional and helps us reply with something specific.
  2. Pick a timeThirty minutes, live, over synthetic records in the shape your team works in. No slides, and no discovery call before the demo.

Who this is for, and who it is not

  • Coverage comes firstVivlio retrieves from providers, hospitals and health systems it can reach through national exchange networks and direct connections. Name the facilities your patients come from on the form and we check coverage before anyone spends thirty minutes on a demo.
  • You can say what the chasing costsThe form asks how many hours a week your team loses to chasing records. If nobody can put a number near it, the case for Vivlio is not there yet, and we would rather say so than sell you a demo.
  • Patients and files at volumeThis is built for intake that runs every day. For one record, once, your patient can request it from the provider directly, and that will be faster than going through us.
  • Treatment, with the paperwork doneProduction access needs an NPI, a declared purpose of use and a signed BAA. Nobody swipes a card onto live PHI.

If none of those describe you, say so in the last field and we will come back in writing instead of booking a call.
