What is LACIE? 

How is Missouri Department of Mental Health involved? 

Are other providers connecting to LACIE? 

What is the community viewer in SETWorks? 

When connected to LACIE through SETWorks, there will be a Data Exchange tab available within the consumer's profile. The information visible within the Data Exchange tab is from the four Missouri HIEs, showing personal and healthcare information. Health providers such as hospitals, general practitioners, and specialists with access to the network are entering visit information after seeing a patient or providing treatment. This information is visible within the clinical data viewer within SETWorks. 

 

Can SETWorks send information to LACIE? 

SETWorks also offers an option or setting that allows providers to send information to MO LACIE HIE from SETWorks. SETWorks checks for updates and sends those each hour to MO LACIE HIE.

The following data can be sent to LACIE: 

Provider Details. Name, address, phone, fax, email

Consumer Details. First, middle, last name, email, suffix, date of birth, gender

Consumer Address. Primary, secondary

Consumer Phone Numbers.

Consumer Identifiers. Social security number, Medicare number, Medicaid number

Consumer Disabilities. Includes ICD-10 codes

Consumer Demographics. Ethnicity, race, languages

Consumer Network Contacts. Emergency contacts, guardians, contact name, address, phone

Consumer Allergies. 

Consumer Doctors. Name, address, phone, NPI number, referring provider

How do I get access to the community viewer in SETWorks? 

An agreement must be signed with LACIE before December 31st, 2022 in order to submit the request for funding for the first three years of usage. SETWorks will then provide next steps about configuration and training of the viewer within SETWorks. Training new users on this feature in a minimal time commitment.

Q&A

Q: Will EMT info from CIMOR be interfaced with HIN? 

A: Contact MO DMH for questions related to CIMOR connectivity.

Q: With MO being an opt-in state, does that mean that [each provider] has to pay the fees to LACIE and agree to their terms unless they opt out? 

A: Missouri as a state does not have a Opt-In or Opt-Out status. It is up to each HIN to make that determination. Since other neighboring states (e.g., Kansas) is an Opt-Out state, LACIE and the other HINs have decided to follow that model for consistency. If an individual or guardian does not want to have their data shared amongst providers of the HIN, they much opt out. 

Q: Will [providers] need to send guardians information about HIN or do [providers] assume their approval? 

A: Notice of Privacy Practices (NPPs) will need to be updated to include language that allows a patient or their legal guardian to opt them out of the exchange. Sample NPP language will be provided on request by LACIE as well as the opt-out form that is required to be completed. The opt-out form must be submitted to LACIE by the provider organization to ensure individuals are who they claim to be and their request to opt out.

Q: Will information also be coming from Carasolva? 

A: SETWorks will not be sharing information from Carasolva with the HIN. See information shared by SETWorks.

Q: Is there a DMH contact for HIN to whom we should address questions, like the one about EMTs? 

A: Referring to the MO DMH's website about LEAP funds, contact: ddmail@dmh.mo.gov with questions. 

Q: I thought there was a $7,000 upfront charge and you only get money back after you reach milestones? Is there a monthly charge and help desk charge as well?

Q: Are there charges while providers are waiting [for set-up of HIN connectivity in their SETWorks production sites]? Do grant funds start covering once [providers] are using the system or while they wait?

A: The one-time connection fee is due at the time the LACIE agreement is signed. The monthly fees are invoiced at 90 days or when the system is live, whichever comes first. Both fees are currently covered by grant funds for participating organizations. Direct all LACIE agreement questions to Mike Dittemore at Mike.Dittemore@lacie-hie.com. 

Q: Can [MO HIN connectivity] take place of the medical book files, if all the doctors are also in the system? If doctors aren't in the system, can they be uploaded by hand?

A: It is recommended that providers continue to keep current practices for medical files during implementation. Reevaluation of practices and compliance requirements are encouraged each time a new system is implemented. 

Q: Does HIN have historical data available too? Or would it be current only? 

A: To allow time for individuals to opt out, LACIE does not backload information from an organization into the exchange prior to the contract execution date. On average, data is available on most patients for 3-5 years from the time their provider organization executed an agreement with LACIE. 

Q: Will medications come over from CaraSolva to SETWorks or will [providers] need to enter them? 

A: SETWorks will not be sharing information from Carasolva with the HIN. See information shared by SETWorks.
