Case Study: New Mexico Health Information Collaborative achieves statewide health data exchange and longitudinal patient records with Orion Health

New Mexico Health Information Collaborative reaches 1.8 million patients with Orion Health

The New Mexico Health Information Collaborative (NMHIC) faced the challenge of creating a comprehensive, statewide health record by integrating data from diverse healthcare entities, a task complicated by the need for nearly universal provider participation, accommodating expanding non-traditional data sets, and ensuring workflow integration for caregivers. To build this trusted, scalable data repository, NMHIC selected Orion Health as its technology partner.

Orion Health provided its platform, including a Rhapsody-based Clinical Data Repository and the Communicate secure messaging service, to consolidate real-time clinical data and enable fast, encrypted communication among providers. This solution allowed NMHIC to build a unified longitudinal record for over 1.8 million patients, dramatically streamlining referrals and saving time for caregivers. The partnership with Orion Health established a foundation for advanced analytics and future expansion into population health management, positioning NMHIC as the primary health information source for the state.
