Case Study: CRISP achieves faster, streamlined statewide patient data access and quadrupled provider usage with NextGen Healthcare

Maryland HIE ties disparate systems together statewide

Chesapeake Regional Information System for Our Patients (CRISP), Maryland’s statewide health information exchange serving Maryland and D.C., needed a scalable way to tie together disparate hospital systems and present integrated patient data to providers with fewer steps. The organization partnered with NextGen/Mirth to streamline workflows, reduce clicks and speed access to patient summaries across 53 connected acute care hospitals.

CRISP deployed Mirth Connect and Mirth Results and implemented a REST API for single sign‑on and patient‑context passing, migrating roughly 150 channels ahead of schedule. The integration delivered a single‑screen patient summary, care‑plan lookups via API, and flexible data views for hospitals — driving a fourfold increase in provider usage, faster access to data, and measurable improvements in workflow and patient care.
