Every year, MiHIN closes for business between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. The MiHIN office will be closed December 24th, 2024 through January 1st, 2025. During this time, there are small teams monitoring the Help Desk ticketing system, phone lines, and interfaces. Amaintenance production code and feature freeze will occur 12/17/24 through 1/3/25. During this time, MiHIN will not implement requests for changes or enhancements to our production environments.
An operational freeze will occur 12/19/24 through 1/1/25. During this time, no new users or organizations can be introduced to, trained, or added to existing use cases, services, and/or tools.
ACRS files submitted through DSM or the legacy SFTP will not be validated and/or loaded. If you submit ACRS files via this method please make sure to submit your valid ACRS files before Wednesday, 12/19/24 for loading.
ACRS files submitted through the automated SFTP will continue to be validated and processed automatically.
The MIGateway File Submission module will remain operable for ACRS file submission.
If you are unsure which method your organization currently uses to submit ACRS files, please reach out the MiHIN Help Desk for assistance.
After reviewing the current progress of validation and testing and listening to input from stakeholders, we have made the decision to extend the decommissioning of the VIPR platform into the first quarter of 2025. This additional time will ensure that all data mappings are fully validated, interfaces are functioning accurately, and participants have ample time for training and preparation.
Over the coming months, we will continue to provide regular updates and schedule validation sessions tailored to your organization’s needs. Our priority remains to deliver a seamless and successful migration, minimizing disruptions to your operations while enhancing the statewide health information exchange.
Should you have any questions or wish to discuss your organization’s specific transition needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Help Desk or your network representative.
For the past 20 years, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, together with 33 physician organizations, 100+ hospitals and 20,000 physicians across the state, have worked closely on a collection of programs that create a more efficient, affordable, high-performing health care system. These programs are called Value Partnerships.
Multiple Value Partnerships initiatives spurred every hospital, physician organization and more than 60% of skilled nursing facilities in the state to connect to MiHIN. Now, they transmit 82 million messages per month via the network, notifying physicians when their patients have been seen in the ER, admitted, discharged or transferred from the hospital and what their lab results are. This enables physicians to quickly follow up with their patients and ensure care is coordinated.
This month, MiHIN and Socially Determined hosted The Download to discuss the ways in which data and technology empower providers to address social determinants, enhance patient outcomes, and promote equitable healthcare access for Michigan residents.
The webinar explored leveraging SDOH risk analytics to address disparities and drive value, enhancing quality scores for better value-based payments, lowering costs through preventative care and data-informed interventions, and more.
