WELCOME TO
CHAN...
The Community Health Access Network (CHAN) is the only
Health Center Controlled Network (HCCN) in New Hampshire.
Established in 1995, CHAN has developed and supports an integrated
clinical and administrative system infrastructure for its eight
Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) members. CHAN also
supports 3 Healthcare for the Homeless Programs.
Central to CHAN's focus has been the automation of the
primary care health record. CHAN's systems include a fully
integrated Electronic Health Record (EHR), GE Centricity, which supports
90 providers and their patients. The EHR also has links to member
reference labs and four hospitals. The EHR is linked to the GE
Centricity Practice Management (PM) system and shares a common reporting
tool. The providers can also securely access the system remotely
to support offsite care.
CHAN also provides technical assistance and system
services to local collaborators and consultation to peers at a
national level.

In recognition of the outstanding effort and
collaboration to improve patient care through the use of Health
Information Technology (HIT), CHAN was awarded the 2008 Nicholas
E. Davies Award of Excellence for Community Health Organizations
by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society
(HIMSS). |
