Mississippi Division of Medicaid Establishes Its Second Real-Time Clinical Data Exchange

Just last month, MedeAnalytics announced that the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (DOM) continued to build its data exchange within the state by connecting with the Hattiesburg Clinic (Hattiesburg). This is the second such clinical exchange and the second largest provider of Mississippi Medicaid beneficiaries. DOM built its first connection with the largest provider, the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC), which resulted in more than two million clinical summaries.

On Aug. 1, DOM successfully linked its beneficiary data-analysis system with Hattiesburg’s electronic health record (EHR). MedeAnalytics established DOM’s Medicaid Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI) back in 2014 as the core identity management system to allow easy management of a Medicaid patient’s longitudinal record. From there, they worked with DOM to standardize the Medicaid clinical EMPI to support a clinical data interface with its external stakeholders. Since the connection, both DOM and Hattiesburg have shared clinical information on 20,000 individual Medicaid patients, or 100,000 total shared clinical reports. Mississippi is the first state in the nation to establish this method for leveraging Medicaid technology and resources to directly benefit the doctor/patient experience.

Our very own CEO, Paul Kaiser, noted that: “DOM is a model example for Medicaid interoperability and how other agencies across the nation can leverage data to improve beneficiary care. MedeAnalytics has powered the Division’s first major provider data connection since 2016 and we look forward to continually supporting their efforts to expand connectivity with other providers across the state of Mississippi.”

The continued partnership is driving change in healthcare – from informed delivery of care to fueling overall value-based goals and progress. Looking ahead, DOM plans to continue integration with Medicaid-focused health systems, Health Information Exchanges and state and federal agencies. In fact, just last month they went live with their third clinical data exchange connection – Singing River Health System.
