eHealth Exchange is the only network that connects with public health agencies across all 50 states.
Connecting the nations public health agencies
eHealth Exchange is a quick-to-implement and cost-effective solution to automate the submission of electronic case reports (eCRs) for 80+ reportable conditions, reducing burdens on providers and public health agencies. Our partnership with the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) is the primary way providers and public health agencies connect, either directly through eHealth Exchange or our bridge to Carequality.

Discover the many benefits of exchanging with eHealth Exchange
Get ALL the information you need when you need it
During public health crises, you need as much information as possible to respond accurately and effectively to investigate possible cases, track exposures, identify the initial source, and control the response.
eHealth Exchange’s eCR capabilities ensure you receive complete patient information immediately within a single view.
Prepare for data influx as providers earn CMS MIPS and IPPS points
The CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS), which increases provider payments for care, is accelerating public health-provider connectivity.
eHealth Exchange is set up to help automate and streamline submission and/or responses for:
- Electronic case reports (eCR)
- Immunization registries
- Public health registries
- Syndromic surveillance
- HIE bi-directional exchange
FHIR up yourpublic health efforts
The expanding use of Fast Healthcare Interoperability (FHIR®) for data exchange is a boon to public health organizations.
Providers are more easily sharing timely and relevant public health information from their existing clinical workflows without having to open multiple applications or websites.
eHealth Exchange is already aggressively using FHIR
In fact, one of the nation’s largest FHIR implementations in the country is through eHealth Exchange. In a joint project with the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), health systems are already submitting adverse drug events to FDA using FHIR, and FDA is able to retrieve additional data to support case investigations.
