Big Sky Care Connect – Montana’s Health Information Exchange

  • "Big Sky Care Connect has been an amazing resource. By providing real-time access to patient medical records from entities across the state, the HIE has reduced the time our clinical staff spends requesting and managing medical records…with BSCC, we can seamlessly review essential medical history, such as diagnoses, medications, and previous diagnostic testing without waiting for records to come through."

    Mineral Community Hospital

  • “Health center staff have been able to identify patients at the specific point in care much more quickly. The alert is available for primary care case managers within hours versus waiting a day or more to identify if/when a patient has accessed the hospital or Emergency Department.”

    Montana Primary Care Association

  • "Just the other day, I was able to avoid re-ordering a set of lab tests on a patient being transferred to our facility in Hardin because I could access the data through the HIE […] As someone who routinely accepts patients into a swing bed unit from multiple referring entities, the BSCC interface is an invaluable tool for improving the efficiency of information exchange.”

    OneHealth

  • “As an RN case manager, I can use BSCC to track patients who have ED visits or [who] are admitted to outside facilities...we are able to review the patient’s discharge recommendations to ensure that they receive the appropriate follow up care. It is a huge asset to have easy access to this information for continuity of care.”
