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 ten Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) members which includes 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.

CHAN is accepting bids to implement Health Information Exchange (HIE) technology that will provide robust standards based interoperability.  This exchange of information will lead to improved continuity of care, improved health outcomes, especially for people with chronic diseases, and increased efficiency throughout the health care system.  The solution must seamlessly integrate with CHAN's existing GE Centricity EHR and PM environment.

Proven experience with GE Centricity, plus references, are required. Links to the  RFP document and attachments for this project can be found below.
