How two states are integrating social health data into their information exchanges

In Nebraska and Iowa, information on housing, transportation and other non-clinical needs is being exchanged electronically. In 2020 Cync Health, the state health information exchanges (HIEs) of Nebraska and Iowa began taking steps to address that problem by partnering with Unite Us, a technology company that builds networks of health and social service providers, to provide behavioral and social health information on the two states’ HIEs. Medical Economics sat down recently with Jaime Bland, DNP, RN, president and CEO of Cync Health, to more about the program.
