currentcare: Rhode Island’s Health Information Exchange

currentcare is Rhode Island’s Health Information Exchange (HIE). It is a secure electronic network that uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure that authenticated medical professionals can access their patients’ most up-to-date health information.
currentcare presents an integrated view of health information from non-affiliated health care organizations to the end-user through an Internet browser.
The Rhode Island Quality Institute (RIQI) is Rhode Island’s Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO). For more information about the Rhode Island Quality Institute, visit the RIQI website at www.RIQI.org.

INFORMATION AVAILABLE

currentcare will include only information about a person starting from the day they are enrolled in currentcare. Today, this could include laboratory results from Lifespan Laboratories, East Side Clinical Laboratories, and the Department of Health laboratories.
Eventually, currentcare will include additional types of health information, like radiology reports, prescriptions and discharge summaries. currentcare is a web-based portal that allows any authorized authenticated user to retrieve approved patient records.

Once your patients have completed, signed, and returned a “currentcare Enrollment and Authorization Form” to the Rhode Island Quality Institute, their health information will begin to be available through currentcare from participating data sources (as of today, most laboratories).

Cost to Participate

There is no cost for participating in currentcare. It is funded by state and federal grants as well as contributions from major health care providers and insurers.
