How do I connect with Connie if I do not have an EHR or an EHR capable of connecting with Connie?
Health care providers without an EHR or without an EHR capable of connecting with Connie can meet their initial obligation under Connecticut law by filling out the Connie Registration Form on the ConnieCT website. Once the form is completed, an Account Manager from Connie can facilitate next steps.
If you wish to be able to access Connie’s HIPAA-compliant clinical query portal to enable you to view health care information about your patients, including alerts when your patients have been hospitalized, a Connie Account Manager will work with you to complete the data sharing agreements with Connie and complete the onboarding process. The Connie team will also share communication templates including a sample Notice of Privacy Practices, posters, and emails to communicate your participation in Connie with patients including options for patients who wish to opt-out of participation.
If you do not wish to have access to the Connie portal, your Account Manager will help you secure a Direct email address, if you do not already have one. Direct email is a secure, HIPAA-compliant means of communicating with other health care providers.
