Colorado Launches State Medicaid eConsult Platform

Newport Beach CA, March 2024

Statewide initiative utilizes enterprise eConsult solution from Safety Net
Connect to increase equitable access and further improve healthcare outcomes for
Members.

Safety Net Connect (SNC), a leading provider of advanced virtual care solutions,
—announced the launch of the Colorado Medicaid eConsult platform by the Colorado
Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) to improve access to
specialty care advice for Members across the state. Electronic consults, or
eConsults, are asynchronous (store and forward) clinical communications between
a primary care medical provider (PCMP) and a specialty provider (specialist).
SNC’s innovative, enterprise eConsult solution was reviewed by the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and it was determined that it met the
criteria for Federal matching to support the HCPF mission to improve health care
equity, access to care, and outcomes for Colorado Members.

“Specialty care access is a widespread problem across the country — and this can
be especially challenging for Medicaid programs, federally qualified health
centers (FQHCs), and rural health centers (RHCs),” shared Chris Cruttenden,
President, Safety Net Connect. “We created eConsult as an effective, scalable
way to help providers close this gap — delivering rapid access to high-quality
specialty care and improving outcomes.”

Coloradans face a high demand for specialty services, workforce shortages, and
geographic barriers that can make access to specialty care particularly
challenging. eConsult enables providers to collaborate to determine the most
effective care plans while supporting a more convenient experience for Members.

With over a decade of successful implementation in Medicaid programs across
rural and urban settings, SNC has demonstrated that eConsult results in
expedited access to specialty care, reduced patient time off work and travel,
improved quality of referrals, and reduced costs. By implementing statewide
eConsult, Colorado is taking a significant step towards enhancing healthcare
equity and improving access for Members.

How Colorado Medicaid eConsult Works
Starting February 1, 2024, PCMPs can use the web-based Colorado Medicaid
eConsult platform to transmit secure eConsult requests to specialists. The
specialist provides electronic clinical guidance to assist the PCMP in the
diagnosis or management of the Member’s health care needs. The eConsult can
result in a referral for a face-to-face visit with a specialist when clinically
appropriate. Health First Colorado Providers will have access to Colorado
Medicaid eConsult for free. Learn more at:
https://hcpf.colorado.gov/eConsult_Platform or contact
Coloradosupport@safetynetconnect.com.

About Safety Net Connect
A joint venture between NetChemistry and ELM Technologies, Safety Net Connect
(SNC) has been the leading creator of innovative health care technology, making

Colorado Chooses Safety Net Connect's Enterprise eConsult Platform for Statewide
Medicaid Initiative

Newport Beach CA, August 2023

The eConsult initiative advances Colorado's mission for equitable, accessible,
and improved healthcare outcomes for Health First Colorado members.

Safety Net Connect (SNC), a leading provider of advanced virtual care solutions,
has been selected by the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing
(HCPF) to implement their cutting-edge eConsult platform for a statewide
Medicaid implementation. Reviewed and approved by the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), this innovative initiative is designed to support the
HCPF mission to improve health care equity, access to care, and outcomes for
Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program) beneficiaries.

eConsult reduces barriers and expedites the delivery of high-quality care while
enabling physicians to practice at the top of their scope, shared Chris
Cruttenden, President of Safety Net Connect. Statewide adoption of eConsult is a
significant step toward increasing equitable access for Medicaid members across
Colorado.

The eConsult platform, a proven technology for efficiently and consistently
delivering high quality healthcare for underserved populations, will facilitate
seamless electronic communication between Primary Care Medicaid Providers
(PCMPs) and specialist providers throughout the state. By enabling collaboration
in determining the most effective care plans, the platform promises a more
convenient and satisfying experience for members. With over a decade of
successful implementation for safety net Medicaid plans across rural and urban
settings, SNC’s eConsult technology offers numerous advantages, including
expedited access to specialty care, improved quality of referrals, and reduced
costs.

How the Colorado HCPF eConsult platform will work:
Electronic consultations, or “eConsults”, are asynchronous (store and forward)
clinical communications between a PCMP and a specialty provider. The PCMP first
transmits a secure eConsult request to a specialty provider. The specialty
provider will then provide electronic medical guidance that assists the PCMP in
the diagnosis or management of the member’s health care needs. The eConsult can
result in a referral for a face-to-face visit with a specialty provider when
clinically appropriate. In these instances, referrals will be made to specialty
providers who are proven to improve quality outcomes, add value, and reduce
costs specific to the specialty care required. By implementing the eConsult
platform, Colorado is taking a significant step towards enhancing healthcare
equity and improving access for Medicaid members. Safety Net Connect’s expertise
and technology will play a pivotal role in achieving these objectives.

ConferMED Delivers 100,000 Specialty eConsults in Partnership with Safety Net
Connect

Newport Beach CA, March 2023

With SNC's Converge technology, ConferMED delivers specialty care to underserved
communities nationwide.

Safety Net Connect (SNC), a leading provider of innovative healthcare solutions,
celebrates ConferMED’s milestone achievement delivering over 100,000 specialty
eConsults to vulnerable patients in medically underserved communities across the
nation using SNC’s Converge telehealth platform.

ConferMED is fiercely dedicated to the idea that access to high quality
healthcare should be a right (not a privilege) for everyone regardless of
geography or ability to pay. This shared principle served as the foundation for
the partnership between SNC and ConferMED, which began nearly a decade ago as
the two organizations joined forces to create effective telehealth solutions to
bridge the health equity gap and increase access to specialty care in
underserved communities.

“Our primary care providers do an amazing job ensuring that their patients
receive comprehensive care,” explained Dr. Daren Anderson, ConferMED Founder and
President. “ConferMED’s SNC-driven eConsults and live video sessions help to
expand the provider’s capabilities to diagnose and manage more complex
conditions — and in many cases provide care that might otherwise be unavailable
to their patients.”

Using SNC’s platform combined with a novel workflow process, the ConferMED team
has delivered specialty care to more than 100,000 patients across the U.S., in
collaboration with more than 3,000 primary care providers. “We’re excited to
celebrate this critical milestone and the dedicated ConferMED staff, specialists
and primary care users who made it happen,” shared Keith Matsutsuyu, CEO of
Safety Net Connect. “It’s truly an honor to partner with ConferMED, a leader in
healthcare innovation that shares our passion for increasing health equity and
access to care across all communities.”

With nearly 300 specialists across all major adult and pediatric specialty care
disciplines, ConferMED supports practices nationwide looking to improve access
and reduce the cost of specialty care. ConferMED’s specialists quickly review
cases, provide input to primary care providers, and develop the optimal care
plan for patients. This process improves chronic disease outcomes, reduces
unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital admissions, and prevents
long-term complications.

ConferMED is a national eConsult provider improving access for patients while
supporting better clinical outcomes and reduced costs. ConferMED's national
network of over 300 specialists combined with its comprehensive interoperability
solution allows primary care clinicians across the country to receive guidance

Quality Health Network Selects Safety Net Connect's Enterprise eConsult Solution

Newport Beach CA, April 2022

Groundbreaking eConsult initiative with direct HIE integration designed to
expand equitable specialty care access for Colorado residents using SNC's
Converge, Next Generation Telehealth Solution.

Safety Net Connect (SNC), a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology
solutions, has been selected by Quality Health Network (QHN), an award-winning
Health Information Exchange (HIE) serving western Colorado, as the technology
partner for an integrated eConsult solution: Colorado Specialty CareConnect
(CSCC). Designed to enhance coordination of care between Primary Care Providers
and Specialty Care Physicians, CSCC will increase access to specialty care for
patients in need.

“Timely access to high-quality, coordinated care is a top-priority, and
eConsults through Colorado Specialty CareConnect will streamline communication
between Primary Care Providers and Specialists, improving patient care,” shared
Marc Lassaux, Chief Technical Officer, QHN. “We’re excited to launch SNC’s
solution with the goal to combine our health information exchange with rapid
access to specialists to reduce burdens and costs for Western Colorado providers
and patients through better communication.”

QHN selected SNC’s Converge, Next Generation Telehealth, based on the system’s
multi-tenant ability with proven outcomes and extensive utilization. Utilizing
the Converge asynchronous platform will enable Primary Care Providers (PCPs) and
Specialty Physicians to share clinical information, provide medical guidance,
and collaborate on care for their patients. Further, QHN’s pilot is designed to
increase co-management, provider education, and community engagement.

“QHN is a leader in applying innovative technologies to increase person-centric
care that is informed by social determinants of health,” explained Chris
Cruttenden of SNC. “We’re excited to collaborate on this first-of-its-kind
integration of an HIE and eConsult solution designed to increase equitable
access to specialty care in the U.S.”

Converge has been used to deliver more than two million eConsults with
consistent, sustainable, rapid access to specialty care. Further, Converge
improves equitable access and health outcomes — reducing 50% of unnecessary
face-to-face specialty visits and eliminating traditional access barriers for
patients (such as transportation, work, and caregiving responsibilities).

Over 2 Million Specialty Care eConsults Delivered for Underserved Patients with
Converge from Safety Net Connect

Newport Beach CA, December 2021

Converge Next-Generation Telehealth Increases Capacity of Specialty Care
Physicians While Improving Access and Health Equity for Safety Net Patients

Safety Net Connect (SNC), a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology
solutions, is pleased to announce the successful delivery of more than 2 million
specialty care eConsults for patients in underserved populations through the
Converge Next-Generation Telehealth platform.

With integrated eReferral, eConsult, and Televisit, SNC’s Converge brings
asynchronous and synchronous telehealth technologies together into a single,
end-to-end virtual care platform. The largest integrated telehealth platform of
its kind in the nation, Converge is currently being utilized by safety net
providers from coast-to-coast (including hospitals, community health centers,
correctional facilities, and health plans) to provide safe, secure, and rapid
access to specialty care across more than 10 million Medicaid, low-income and
underserved patients in both urban and rural settings.

“With the proper forethought and systemic changes, telehealth technologies
enable us to reimagine healthcare delivery in a way that can significantly
reduce health inequities among at-risk populations,” shared Stan Frencher, MD,
MPH, CEO of HubMD — a virtual medical group of physician specialists. “Converge
is a unique telehealth solution designed specifically to increase timely access
to high-quality specialty care, meeting the unique needs of safety net patients
— and the providers who serve them.”

Converge has been shown to provide consistent, sustainable rapid access to
specialty care. Further, Converge improves equitable access and health outcomes
for safety net patients — reducing 50% of unnecessary face-to-face specialty
visits and eliminating traditional barriers to care (such as transportation,
work, and caregiving responsibilities). Unlike synchronous televideo
alternatives, Converge actually increases physician capacity and improves care
delivery by:

 * Incorporating eConsults as the first step of a specialty referral: enabling a
   specialist to provide guidance and advice to as many as 8-10 patients in an
   hour, while seeing patients face-to-face might result in only 8-10 visits per
   day.
 * Decreasing the number of unnecessary visits & reducing costs: instead of
   using an initial specialty visit to gather necessary data or test results;
   eConsult shifts the pre-specialty work forward for a more informed, efficient
   first visit at a lower cost.
 * Increasing ease-of-use for the Patient: when a specialty visit is required,
   Converge provides the patient with appointment reminders and a “one-touch”
   click to launch a HIPAA-secure Televisit.

“Two million eConsults is an incredible milestone; that’s two million times we
were able to help connect specialists, primary care providers and patients for
much needed care,” explained Chris Cruttenden of SNC. “This is why we started
Safety Net Connect — and it’s what inspires us to continue innovating.”

eManagement Program from NetChemistry Improves Behavioral Healthcare with
Virtual Delivery Using Converge Telehealth Technology

Newport Beach CA, February 2021

Evaluation reveals Converge platform enables earlier identification, treatment,
and improvement for behavioral health conditions — with a lower cost of care

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions,
is pleased to announce that an evaluation of the eManagement Program utilizing
the NetChemistry Converge telehealth platform, improved the screening, delivery,
and quality of behavioral health services — while lowering the overall cost of
care.

“With a shortage in behavioral health providers, we need new ways to bring the
same, high-quality care to patients,” shares Chris Cruttenden, President,
NetChemistry. “PCPs are at the heart of healthcare and have the trust of their
patients; increasing their role in behavioral care is a natural next step. And
these findings provide further support for this approach.”

Funded by the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF), the JSI evaluation of
the eManagement Program revealed:

 * 75% of physicians reported earlier detection of behavioral health conditions;
   enabling timely diagnosis — leading to improvements in treated conditions
   between patient visits
 * Cost of behavioral healthcare was reduced with more than $770k saved from 130
   averted inpatient admissions and 419 averted emergency department visits over
   24 months
 * 80% of electronic consultations (eConsults) between primary care physicians
   (PCPs) and specialists were resolved without the need for a specialty
   referral
 * PCPs reported high satisfaction rates with the program, and an increase in
   the knowledge and skills necessary to treat behavioral health conditions

How the eManagement Program Works:
Utilizing the Converge telehealth platform, participating PCPs can screen
patients for behavioral health issues (including anxiety, depression, and
alcohol misuse) with built-in assessment tools. PCPs can virtually consult with
a behavioral health specialist for peer-to-peer guidance on a patient’s course
of treatment utilizing the eConsult solution. And, if needed, patients can be
referred for a face-to-face (virtual or onsite) visit to a specialist with the
integrated eReferral feature. Automated documentation and reporting further
facilitate care coordination and collaboration.

NetChemistry’s new model of telehealth is especially important during the
COVID-19 crisis, which disproportionately impacts underserved communities.
NetChemistry’s Converge system, now bolstered by the Carequality
Interoperability Framework, allows providers to easily counsel, treat, and refer
patients from the safety of their homes. Likewise, Converge reduces the
likelihood of viral spread by bringing virtual care to high-risk locations such
as correctional or long-term care facilities.

“Our adoption of Carequality doesn’t just translate into expanded access to
patient data,” shares Chris Cruttenden, president of NetChemistry. “We’re
increasing access to high-quality healthcare that can be delivered safely and
virtually at the point-of-care — essentially anytime and almost anywhere. This
increases provider capacity at a critical time, and it’s a game changer for
healthcare equity.”

A decade ago, Converge was the first commercially available eConsult technology
available in the United States. Today, the Converge platform integrates
eReferral, eConsult and Televisit technology into a comprehensive telehealth
solution — enabling healthcare providers to provide high-quality patient care
from nearly any location across the healthcare continuum, including hospitals,
post-acute care facilities, and public and correctional health systems.

eConsult Data Shed Light on Care Coordination Decisions During the COVID-19
Pandemic

Rancho Cucamonga CA, July 2020

Journal of Clinical Outcomes Management. 2020 July;27(4):163-165
Author(s):
 Stanley Frencher, MD, MPH
 Waheed Baqai, MPH
 Lisa Aubry
 Desiree E. Sanchez, MD
 Alvin Kwong, MPH
 Sajid Ahmed, CHCIO

From the Multi-County eConsult Initiative, Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many health care professionals and their
patients to use telehealth and virtual care to address care needs in new ways.1
To shed light on care coordination decisions with respect to specialty resource
access, we analyzed data collected from the Multi-County eConsult Initiative
(MCeI)—the second-largest electronic consultation (eConsult) program in the
United States—before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our analysis of these
data suggests opportunities for improving access to care and reducing
unnecessary costs in the health system nationally.

The Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) launched MCeI (econsultie.com) in 2018. The
initiative is a partnership between IEHP, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, and
Riverside University Health System aimed at improving access to specialty care
for the safety-net population across San Bernardino and Riverside counties. IEHP
is 1 of the 10 largest Medicaid health plans and the largest not-for-profit
Medicare-Medicaid plan in the country, serving more than 1.2 million members.2
Data from MCel reveal the impacts of COVID-19 on eConsult use and offer insights
into specialty resource availability during and outside of a crisis.

At the time of this analysis, 86 IEHP clinics in rural and urban settings across
38 specialties used the eConsult process to provide and obtain virtual specialty
care, as well as timely appointments for in-person specialty care.3 eConsults
are facilitated through a HIPAA-secure web-based portal that enables
communication and sharing of information between the primary care provider (PCP)
and a specialist. eConsult gives PCPs virtual access to specialists to
coordinate care for their patients and determine the need for in-person
specialty visits. Through the PCP-specialist eConsult dialogue, patients gain
virtual access to specialty care. If a PCP-specialist care team determines the
patient needs an in-person visit, that specialty referral is automatically
authorized by IEHP, without the need for further review. At IEHP, eConsult is
the primary method used for obtaining outpatient specialty referrals.

To analyze eConsult utilization before and during the pandemic, we gathered data
from the MCeI program for the periods February 20–March 19, 2020, and March
20–April 19, 2020. Measures included eConsult volume and outcomes of eConsults
(eConsults closed as referrals for face-to-face specialist visits versus
eConsults closed without resulting in referrals for face-to-face specialist
visits). Statistical analysis using chi-square tests for independence was
performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 (IBM, Armonk, NY).

The data show that after California’s stay-at-home order, issued on March 19,
2020,4 eConsult volumes initially decreased, reflecting a similar decrease in
clinic visits and authorization requests submitted to IEHP. We observed a 4-week
average of 1100 eConsults processed before the pandemic, and then a steep drop
to a 4-week average of 500 eConsults processed after the stay-at-home order was
issued. Despite the overall drop in the volume of eConsults submitted, demand
for specialties like hematology and neurology remained high throughout the
pandemic.

During the pandemic, certain specialties displayed rising rates of eConsults
completed with specialists providing care recommendations to the PCP instead of
resulting in a recommendation for a face-to-face (in-person or via telehealth)
visit with a specialist (see Figure and Table). The trend of increasing
eConsults that concluded without a face-to-face visit suggests newfound clinical
consideration of limited medical resources, along with the desire to eliminate
unnecessary risks of infection.

eConsults between PCPs and specialist reviewers via the IEHP portal resulted in
higher rates of non-face-to-face recommendations. The specialist reviewers were
able to provide treatment plans for PCPs to take care of patients without having
to refer their patients to a specialist. This increase was significant across
most of the specialties live on the MCeI program.

We believe that clinicians’ heightened awareness of the limitations of the US
health care system should remain a key consideration and factor in medical
decision-making about appropriate referrals after the pandemic has passed. The
data demonstrate that the pandemic drove clinicians to make different decisions
about referrals and care coordination. Physicians scrutinized individual cases
more keenly and were not as quick to recommend a face-to-face visit. This
awareness and consideration of specialty access before making a referral
provides a valuable lesson. If this approach is applied to health care delivery
post-pandemic, eConsults will help reduce unnecessary in-person specialist
visits and will free up space and time for patients who genuinely do need
in-person specialty care. In this way, eConsult will improve appropriate access
to care for everyone and reduce unnecessary costs to the health care system at
large.

An examination of eConsult utilization trends across Riverside and San
Bernardino counties before and during the COVID-19 pandemic provides useful
insights into how to reduce costs and improve access to care. Although the risk
of exposure to COVID-19 currently presents a significant obstacle to obtaining
in-person specialty care, pre-existing and long-standing barriers, such as long
wait times and scarcity of specialists, remain critical issues to receiving care
during and after the pandemic. The pandemic has proven eConsult’s value as a
tool for effective care coordination. Leveraging provider-to-provider
asynchronous communication offers an opportunity to reduce unnecessary
utilization of scarce resources during and beyond the pandemic.

Evaluation of LA Care's eManagement Program - Using NetChemistry's Converge
Telehealth Technology

NetChemistry Expands Converge Next-Generation Telehealth with Integrated
eReferral, eConsult, and Televisit Technologies

Newport Beach CA, June 2020

End-to-end virtual care solution ensures safe, rapid access for all patients in
need of specialty care resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions,
announces the expansion of its Converge "Next-Generation Telehealth" solution
with integrated eReferral, eConsult, and Televisit telehealth technologies. In
response to the COVID-19 pandemic NetChemistry has enhanced the Converge
platform to provide an end-to-end virtual care solution supporting the safe,
secure, and rapid access to specialty care services.

"Because of the pandemic, many patients have delayed seeking care for medical
conditions that have been unmanaged or exacerbated during the lock-down,"
explained Stan Frencher, MD, MPH, CEO of HubMD - a virtual medical group of
physician specialists. "And because these patients are often higher-risk, it's
critical that we provide high-quality, coordinated telehealth that is equal to
(if not better than) an in-person consultation."

Unlike a stand-alone Televisit solution, which simply changes the location of
care without addressing issues of physician availability, referral management,
and medical necessity of appointments, the Converge platform actually increases
physician capacity and improves care delivery by:

 * Incorporating eConsults as the first step of a specialty referral - As an
   asynchronous telehealth solution, eConsult enables a specialist to provide
   guidance and advice that will impact as many as 8-10 patients in an hour,
   while seeing patients face-to-face might result in only 8-10 visits per day.
 * Decreasing the number of unnecessary specialist/patient visits - Often an
   initial specialty visit is used to gather necessary data or test results;
   eConsult shifts the pre-specialty work forward for a more informed, efficient
   first visit.
 * Increasing ease-of-use for the Patient - When a specialty visit is required,
   Converge provides the patient with appointment reminders and a "one-touch"
   click to launch a HIPAA-secure Televisit.
 * Improving ease-of-use for the Physician - Converge provides the primary care
   physician with the virtual care tools they need to continue to serve their
   patients and adapt to the rapidly evolving changes in healthcare.
 * Increasing Equitable Access to High-Quality Care - with the combination of
   asynchronous to synchronous solutions, Converge both increases access and
   enhances physician-to-physician communication for optimal patient care.

"Moreover, by applying telehealth strategically and intentionally with
vulnerable populations in mind" added Dr. Frencher, "we can ameliorate health
inequities in access rather than see that divide widen."

NetChemistry and HubMD Partner to Expand Timely Access to Virtual Specialty Care
for Underserved and Correctional Healthcare Patient Populations

Newport Beach CA, May 2020

Unique telehealth partnership integrates eConsult, eReferral and Televisit to
facilitate rapid access to specialty healthcare for at-risk patients throughout
the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions,
is pleased to announce their partnership with HubMD - a virtual medical group of
physician specialists. This partnership increases access to specialty care by
connecting medically underserved populations with HubMD specialists through
NetChemistry's Converge Telehealth Platform. With this end-to-end solution,
HubMD and NetChemistry can rapidly respond to the increased need for COVID-19
consultation and referral requests (particularly among high-risk correctional
healthcare patients), as well as the growing need for online access to specialty
care for medical and behavioral conditions unrelated to the pandemic.

"Our partnership with NetChemistry strengthens our mission of providing
excellent specialty care to every patient - regardless of health status, income
or resources," explained Stan Frencher, MD, MPH, Chief Executive Officer, HubMD.
"Using Converge eConsult our team of highly trained physicians can bring
specialty care directly to the patient in their own medical home - wherever that
may be."

With integrated eConsult, eReferral and Televisit technology - the Converge
telehealth platform enables care delivery in the primary care office or "medical
home" (including correctional settings) which significantly reduces the
patient's need to travel. PCPs can securely contact HubMD's team of specialists
for an electronic peer-to-peer consultation and develop a care plan specific to
the needs of each patient. And if a specialty appointment is deemed necessary,
the patient can receive a real-time video consultation with a HubMD specialist
physician right from the primary care office or medical home.

"We see a continually expanding shortage of specialists in medically underserved
populations," said Chris Cruttenden, President of NetChemistry. "NetChemistry
developed Converge eConsult to fill that gap, and we are excited to be working
with HubMD to improve timely access to high-quality specialty care for all
patients."

The partnership will benefit NetChemistry, HubMD, and their clients, by
broadening the scope of their offerings. HubMD will provide NetChemistry's
clients with access to a broad panel of expert specialty physicians. Likewise,
NetChemistry's Converge eConsult system will offer HubMD providers with a proven
infrastructure for referral guidelines, decision support algorithms, health
information and document attachments, and workflow management.

About HubMD
HubMD is a virtual medical group of physician specialists who care. We provide
primary care physicians and healthcare facilities access to fully credentialed
and licensed, board-certified specialist physicians. As a for profit medical
group, our focus is on the safety net population. We partner with physicians and
others to enhance care delivery. Our clients are public and private
organizations including hospitals, health systems, and even correctional
facilities. https://hubmd.org/about

In Response to COVID-19, NetChemistry Provides Primary Care Physicians With Free
Access to Dedicated eConsult Telehealth Portal in Partnership With America's
Physician Groups, Gaine Healthcare and HubMD

Newport Beach CA, March 2020

eConsult provides PCPs with rapid, electronic access to specialist consultations
and guidance during COVID-19 pandemic

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions,
America's Physician Groups (APG), Gaine Healthcare and HubMD are pleased to
announce the launch of an eConsult telehealth portal providing primary care
physicians (PCPs) with no-cost, rapid, electronic access to specialty care
consultations.

During the COVID-19 outbreak, health systems are experiencing increased volumes
of infectious disease and pulmonology consultation and referral requests. In
addition, there is a growing need for online access to specialty care for
patients with medical and behavioral conditions unrelated to COVID-19. To
support PCPs and help facilitate the critical, ongoing delivery of patient care
during the coronavirus pandemic, this dedicated eConsult telehealth portal will
provide a secure electronic connection between frontline healthcare providers
and specialty physicians - often in less than 4 hours.

"We are all incredibly grateful to the healthcare providers and professionals
putting themselves in harm's way during this challenging time," says Chris
Cruttenden, President of NetChemistry. "We feel both honored and mission-bound
to provide any assistance we can to support the critical, life-saving work of
those on the front-line of this pandemic."

eConsults connect PCPs with specialists who provide responses to their
questions, often preventing patients from having to schedule, and endure long
wait times for face to face visits. Providers can launch eConsult in a virtual
training session lasting less than 30 minutes and can begin submitting eConsults
immediately. Specialists can be onboarded in the same amount of time and spend,
on average, 10 minutes or less responding to an eConsult request - enabling
specialists to consult on more patient cases, increasing their capacity tenfold
while reducing the need for face-to-face interactions.

One of the first and largest eConsult systems in the nation, NetChemistry has
conducted over 1.3 million eConsults on the platform. NetChemistry has
successfully served over 10 million Medicaid, low-income and underserved
patients, engaged with thousands of primary care and specialty providers, and
implemented enterprise-level eConsult platforms for the second and third largest
Medicaid health systems, LA County, California and Cook County, Illinois.
Additionally, NetChemistry has recently implemented the eConsult solution in
California's Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

Southern California Sheriff's Departments Utilize Inland Empire Health Plan
eConsult Platform to Increase Access to Specialty Care

Newport Beach CA, December 2019

Converge, eConsult Technology from NetChemistry, Enables Correctional Facilities
to Increase Specialty Care Access While Reducing Transportation and Security
Costs

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions,
announced that the Health Services Division of the Detentions and Corrections
Bureau of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and the Sheriff's
Department Corrections Division of Riverside County working with the Riverside
County Correctional Health Services are successfully increasing access to timely
specialty care as part of the multi-county eConsult initiative funded by Inland
Empire Health Plan (IEHP).

"IEHP is excited to promote eConsult as a clinical best practice, particularly
in a region with one of the largest provider shortages in the U.S.," explained
Priya Batra, MD, MS, Senior Medical Director at IEHP. "We are thrilled to know
the eConsult platform is streamlining the delivery of specialty care to those
who need it most."

In partnership with local healthcare systems, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center
and Riverside University Health System, the correctional facilities have reduced
medically unnecessary face-to-face specialist visits in the county jails by 57%
using the eConsult platform created by NetChemistry. Reducing unnecessary
in-person visits to the local healthcare facilities has also significantly
reduced associated transportation and security costs.

"We are proud of our partnership with Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC)
in San Bernardino County and Riverside University Health System (RUHS) in
Riverside County," said Jarrod McNaughton, MBA, FACHE, Chief Executive Officer
at IEHP. "We are pleased to know the eConsult platform is improving access to
quality healthcare in the most efficient way."

"Patients in jails are often in higher need of medical, behavioral and social
services," explained Vikram Kumar, MD, MBA, Chief Health Information Officer at
RUHS. "We're excited to be able to leverage innovative technology solutions like
eConsult for the patients in our County's correctional facilities - improving
timely access to the highest quality care."

How eConsult Connects Correctional Health Providers with County Specialists.
NetChemistry's Converge eConsult technology facilitates a convenient online
connection between correctional healthcare staff and ARMC + RUHS specialists -
allowing them to easily share notes, charts, and labs to create individualized
patient plans in a timely fashion (often in just 1-2 days). Converge eConsult
gives physicians in jail facilities with a method for resolving many specialty
issues directly onsite, which alleviates the stress, expense, and liability
associated with transporting patients offsite. For patients who need a
face-to-face, eConsult provides an avenue for pre-qualified specialty referrals
to the ARMC or RUHS medical facilities, reducing the burden of ER utilization
for non-emergent issues.

NetChemistry's eConsult Integrates with Cerner EHR - Increasing Ease-of-Use and
Access-to-Care for Los Angeles County Department of Health Services

Newport Beach CA, October 2019

NetChemistry and Cerner Integration with LADHS Latest Innovation for Nation's
Leading eConsult Solution

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions,
today announced the integration of Converge, next-generation eConsult, with
Cerner's Electronic Health Record (EHR) at the Los Angeles County Department of
Health Services (LADHS).

Integrating NetChemistry's eConsult within the Cerner EHR will further increase
ease-of-use and access-to-care for LADHS patients. LADHS providers now have
single sign-on, direct access to Converge eConsult within the Cerner EHR
platform. This integration simplifies workflows and improves clinical care
coordination, providing seamless access to the patient's complete medical record
- making it easy to securely share relevant data.

"Creating the seamless link when submitting an eConsult from Cerner has provided
tangible improvement in how primary care providers care for their patients,"
explains Stanley Dea, MD, Director of eConsult, LADHS. "In a health care system
as large as ours, providers need every innovative edge they can use to help them
through their busy workdays."

More than 1.1 million eConsults have been provided within the LADHS system to
date - over 600 LADHS specialist reviewers across 64 specialties respond to an
average of 18,000 eConsults requests each month. LADHS is the second largest
municipal health system in the United States, with a broad delivery network
using the Converge eConsult platform across diverse care settings, including:
county hospitals and clinics, providers in both rural and urban communities,
jails, and juvenile courts. Longitudinal studies of the award-winning LADHS
initiative with NetChemistry's eConsult have demonstrated consistent,
sustainable rapid access to specialty care - and the program has been recognized
for dramatically improving the quality of patient-centered specialty care.

"We created Converge to increase access to the best possible care for
underserved populations," shares Chris Cruttenden, President, NetChemistry.
"Integrating Converge eConsult within the EHR at LADHS - and for our health
system partners nationwide - is one more way we are fulfilling our mission to
expand access to care for all patients."

About Los Angeles County Department of Health Services
The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LADHS) is the second
largest municipal health system in the nation. The LADHS mission is to ensure
access to high-quality, patient-centered, cost-effective health care to Los
Angeles County residents through direct services at DHS facilities and through

Community Health Centers Partner with OCHIN for New EHR System

Oceanside CA, October 2019

OCHIN will implement their Epic EHR technology into the Southern California
health system

North County Health Services (NCHS), a southern California health system hosting
12 community health centers, is partnering with Oregon Community Health
Information Network (OCHIN) to implement its EHR and electronic dental records
(EDR) systems, practice management, and other health IT services.

"We are excited to partner with OCHIN to bring the best in technology for the
region's most vulnerable patients and the clinicians who care for them," said
Barbara S. Kennedy, President and CEO of NCHS.

The Oregon-based nonprofit health information and innovation network serves more
than 10,000 clinicians and over 115 health organizations across the country.
OCHIN leverages innovation and collaboration to improve patient health outcomes
and reduce healthcare organization costs.

OCHIN delivers its Epic technology on a single, fully-integrated platform. It
will give NCHS ongoing support, workflow solutions, patient engagement
platforms, health information exchange, and research help.

"This partnership will allow our clinicians and staff to focus on delivering
excellent care to our patients while OCHIN delivers and supports our EHR/EDR
system across our clinical community," said Kennedy.

OCHIN is known for delivering EHR solutions to community health centers, which
serve low-income and vulnerable patient populations. CHCs aren't always
well-funded, making it hard for them to implement sophisticated health
technologies and EHRs, but this latest partnership between OCHIN and NCHS will
alleviate that issue for the California health system.

"Patients with lower incomes shouldn't be left behind as health information
technology continues to evolve," said OCHIN's CEO, Abby Sears. "This partnership
will bring the most advanced information technology to all NCHS centers. Care
will be more coordinated, which leads to better outcomes and healthier lives for
patients."

NCHS serves more than 67,000 patients in North San Diego County and Riverside
County. It has 12 medical sites moving to the OCHIN Epic platform in 2020, which
will improve the overall patient experience, from coordination to care, the
health system said.

In 2018, OCHIN integrated electronic consultation serves (eConsult) into its
Epic and NextGen EHR systems in an effort to streamline EHR use for providers
and enable single sign on capabilities.

"The integration of these eConsult platforms is a natural addition to our
technology portfolio," said Sears. "We're dedicated to finding innovative
technologies that make a meaningful difference for patients and the providers
who care for them."

"By measurably improving real-time data exchange, collaboration between systems
and providers, and sustainably increasing access to care, NetChemistry and
RubiconMD help us fulfill our mission," Sears continued.

OCHIN partnered with eConsult platform vendors RubiconMD and NetChemistry to cut
down the number of clicks per day for EHR providers, limiting administrative
burden.

OCHIN has also been pushing to make EHR systems more workable with social
determinants of health (SDOH) data.

A 2017 OHCIN study published in the Journal of the American Board of Family
Medicine (JABFM) found regulating social factors of health data collection and
presentation in EHR systems can improve patient and population health outcomes
in community health centers.

Researchers working with OCHIN developed ways to optimize social determinants of
health data collection, present the data in EHR systems, and integrate the data
into EHRs.

Researchers found documenting a patient's social determinants of health data in
EHRs may allow care teams to leverage the information for more comprehensive,
accurate patient care delivery and care coordination.

Inland Empire Health Plan Multi-county eConsult Initiative with NetChemistry
Improves Specialty Care for Southern California Residents

Newport Beach CA, July 2019

Converge, Next Generation eConsult Technology, Increases Care Coordination and
Timely Access for Medi-Cal and Cal MediConnect Members

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions,
is pleased to announce the multi-county eConsult initiative funded by Inland
Empire Health Plan (IEHP) and launched in partnership with local healthcare
systems, including Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) in San Bernardino
County and Riverside University Health System (RUHS) in Riverside County, is
successfully increasing timely access to specialty care and improving care
coordination for members enrolled in Medi-Cal (Medicaid) or Cal MediConnect
(Medicare-Medicaid Plan).

This groundbreaking payer and provider collaboration creates the infrastructure
for a sustainable, long-term solution to the challenges of specialty care access
using NetChemistry's next-generation eConsult technology platform: "Converge".
Following a successful launch with ARMC and RUHS, the program was expanded to
include the RUHS Correctional Health System Facilities - bringing the current
number of participating locations to 63 sites. Community-based physicians have
rapidly adopted Converge to quickly and efficiently connect to specialists -
with system utilization increasing over 50% every month and more than 15,000
eConsults completed to date. Twenty-two medical specialties are currently
included in the multi-county initiative - with cardiology, orthopedics,
ophthalmology and gastroenterology among the most accessed.

"We're excited to work with IEHP and the Counties of Riverside and San
Bernardino to extend eConsult through this innovative collaboration," said Chris
Cruttenden of NetChemistry. "Our Converge eConsult is the only enterprise
multitenant solution designed to seamlessly bring together disparate patient
populations, provider networks and health systems under one roof to improve
access to specialty care. We believe evolving payer/provider partnerships and
leadership from plans like IEHP hold the key to closing the gaps in our
healthcare system."

Having processed over 1.5 million eConsult transactions, the NetChemistry
Converge platform is the largest eConsult provider in the nation. With the
addition of this IEHP sponsored initiative, Converge now connects over 8 million
patients to specialty care in Southern California alone - further validating the
value and scalability of the NetChemistry eConsult technology for improving
coordination and access to care. NetChemistry partners with WISE Healthcare to
implement eConsult in all of the IEHP sites.

How eConsult Works
When a patient has a health complaint that may need specialty attention, their
primary care physician (PCP) can use the Converge platform to initiate a dialog
or electronic consultation ("eConsult") with a Specialist. Integrated decision
support and referral guidelines help to triage requests to participating
specialists who can efficiently respond with recommendations for diagnosis,
treatment, and referral. The majority of eConsults provide physicians with the
necessary guidance to manage patients in the primary care setting - enabling
specialists to focus on complex patients, and engage in a more-informed initial
appointment. Published outcomes demonstrate shorter specialty care wait times,
reduction in the need for face-to-face specialty visits, and lower costs while
maintaining high quality of care.

About IEHP
IEHP, Inland Empire Health Plan, is a not-for-profit Medi-Cal and Medicare
health plan located in Rancho Cucamonga, California. With a network of more than
6,400 providers and more than 2,100 employees, IEHP serves more than 1.25
million residents in Riverside and San Bernardino counties who are enrolled in
Medi-Cal or Cal MediConnect Plan (Medicare-Medicaid Plan). Through a dynamic

Over One Million eConsults Delivered by the Los Angeles County Department of
Health Services

Newport Beach CA, May 2019

Agency-wide LADHS Initiative reaches landmark milestone in care delivery -
providing rapid access to coordinated specialty care for Los Angeles Safety Net

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions,
is pleased to announce that the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services
(LADHS) has delivered over 1,000,000 eConsults using the Converge,
next-generation eConsult technology, from NetChemistry. This unprecedented
milestone marks the scale, efficacy and success of LADHS' agency-wide initiative
in delivering rapid access to coordinated care for the county's diverse safety
net community.

We're harnessing technology to facilitate more collaborative, effective, and
efficient care," explains Dr. Hal Yee, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer, LADHS.
"This is a notable achievement in health information technology - and represents
a true transformation in our nation's model of healthcare delivery."

Inspired by the eReferral technology developed at San Francisco General Hospital
by Dr. Yee, the LADHS eConsult platform initially launched with just two
specialties and only 53 eConsults in July of 2012. Since then the program has
expanded to include a panel of 600 specialist reviewers across 64 specialties,
responding to an average of 20,000 eConsults requests each month. Notably, the
LADHS eConsult initiative has dramatically improved access to quality care for
the county's safety net community, with an overall reduction of 50% in wait
times for many DHS specialties since the program's initiation.

"The eConsult program had almost immediate buy-in which led to rapid adoption
and expansion," shared Stanley Dea, MD, Director of eConsult, LADHS. "The short
time it took us to reach a million eConsults is testimony to continued value to
all our users. We anticipate continued improvement of the platform over the next
million eConsults."

LADHS is the second largest municipal health system in the United States, with a
vast delivery network using the eConsult platform across diverse care settings,
including: county hospitals and clinics, providers in both rural and urban
communities, jails, and juvenile courts. Longitudinal studies of the LADHS
initiative have demonstrated consistent, sustainable rapid access to specialty
care - and the program has been recognized for dramatically improving the
quality of patient-centered specialty care.

About Los Angeles County Department of Health Services
The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) is the second largest
municipal health system in the nation. Through its integrated system of 24
health centers and four hospitals - and expanded network of community partner
clinics - DHS annually provides direct care for over 500,000 unique patients and

County of Orange Health Care Agency and NetChemistry Launch "WPC Connect" - Care
Coordination and Real-time Data Exchange Solution for the California 1115 Waiver
Whole Person Care Pilot Program

Newport Beach CA, January 2019

Innovative technology facilitates care management and collaboration among
behavioral, medical, and social service provider organizations for homeless
Medi-Cal beneficiaries.

Safety Net Connect (SNC), a joint venture of NetChemistry and ELM Technologies,
and a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions, is pleased
to announce the launch of its WPC Connect platform with the County of Orange
Health Care Agency (HCA) in the Whole Person Care (WPC) pilot program. WPC aims
to help Medi-Cal beneficiaries who are struggling with homelessness with more
effective and inclusive coordination of services.

The WPC Connect platform will facilitate a non-traditional, patient-centered
approach to care coordination for the County of Orange WPC pilot. With WPC
Connect, community-based providers (who historically have not had pathways for
data sharing with each other) will be connected to a centralized hub for
real-time communication. Prior to the WPC pilot, for example, a homeless shelter
wouldn't necessarily know that a client was recently hospitalized for a
particular condition. Now when a patient experiencing homelessness enters an
emergency room, providers will use WPC Connect to generate a
"Community-Collaborative Care Plan" and coordinate with other WPC partner
agencies in real time - including clinics, homeless shelters, recuperative care
services, emergency rooms and other providers.

"Our county has a number of great, community-based resource and service
providers who are dedicated to helping people dealing with the many challenges
of homelessness," explained Melissa Tober, Manager, Strategic Projects, Health
Policy, Research, & Communication, HCA. "With WPC Connect we can engage all of
our providers in the community in real time - whether they are part of the same
network or system (or not). We are essentially creating a uniquely tailored,
virtual care network for each patient we serve."

"We are thrilled to have been selected to be part of this initiative," said
Keith Matsutsuyu of SNC. "Our mission is to facilitate holistic, equitable care
for safety net populations. We're truly honored to work with innovative
leadership from HCA, CalOptima, and the community organizations who are on the
frontline, to help make a meaningful impact on our nation's crisis of
homelessness."

About WPC
WPC is the coordination of physical, behavioral health, and social services in a
patient-centered approach with the goals of improved health and well-being
through more efficient and effective use of resources for Medi-Cal beneficiaries
struggling with homelessness. WPC promotes increased communication between
hospital emergency rooms, CalOptima, community clinics, HCA Behavioral Health
Services and Public Health Services as well as recuperative care providers to
improve access and navigation of services for the homeless population. For more

NetChemistry eConsult Technology Utilized to Improve Care for Opioid Addiction

Newport Beach CA, October 2018

eConsult used to increase access to - and care coordination among - specialists
in addiction medicine, mental health, and social services.

Safety Net Connect (SNC), a joint venture of NetChemistry and ELM Technologies,
and a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology solutions, today
announced that healthcare systems across the nation are now utilizing SNC's
Converge - a Next Generation eConsult Solution - to facilitate care coordination
and specialist access for the treatment of opioid addiction.

Community eConsult Network (CeCN), a program of Community Health Center, Inc.
and the Weitzman Institute, is a national leader in the efforts to improve
access to specialty care for underserved populations. Using SNC's eConsult
technology to connect community health centers and primary care providers across
the country with a network of specialists for addiction treatment is consistent
with CeCN's core mission.

"Addiction treatment can be challenging for primary care providers -
particularly for community providers and practices in rural areas," explained
Daren Anderson, M.D., Director of Weitzman Institute. "Using eConsult, we can
connect physicians in even the most remote regions with expert guidance from
specialists in addiction medicine." Dr. Anderson added: "Patients struggling
with opioid addiction often have concomitant and complex needs for mental health
and social services. eConsult technology also enables us to facilitate access
and coordinate care management among these providers."

"We're excited to see our eConsult technology being used to make a meaningful
difference for patients and families struggling with opioid addiction," said
Keith Matsutsuyu, CEO of Safety Net Connect. "We developed Converge to improve
access to specialists and care coordination for underserved populations -
expansion into addiction medicine is a natural evolution driven by the
real-world need of providers in the field."

How Converge Next Generation eConsult Works
When a patient has a health complaint that may need specialty attention, their
PCP can use the Converge platform to initiate a dialog or electronic
consultation ("eConsult") with a Specialist. Integrated decision support and
referral guidelines help to triage requests to participating specialists who can
efficiently respond with recommendations for diagnosis, treatment, and referral.
While some patients may need to see a specialist, a majority of eConsults
provide PCPs with the necessary guidance to manage patients in the primary care
setting.

Study: Telemedicine Consults Help Save About $500 Per Patient

Middletown CT, January 2018

An analysis of the eConsult service finds that doctors using the telemedicine
platform for cardiology consults saved about $500 in Medicaid costs per patient
over a six-month span.

By Eric Wicklund

A telemedicine consult platform for cardiology cases saved almost $500 per
patient in Medicaid costs over in-person treatments, according to a newly
released study.

In what's being billed as the first published randomized study of the eConsult
platform, researchers at Community Health Center and the University of
Connecticut Health Center found that the telemedicine platform, which
facilitates virtual consults with a specialist, yielded lower mean adjusted
total costs of $655 per patient, or lower mean costs of $466 when adjusted for
non-normality, compared to those using face-to-face consults over a six-month
span.

In addition, the eConsult group reported reduced costs of $81 per patient for
outpatient cardiac procedures, as well as improving access to care for
underserved patients and reducing the rate of no-shows for providers.

Los Angeles County Scores An E-Success In Managing Specialist Care With
NetChemistry's eConsult Solution

Los Angeles CA, March 2017

By Anna Gorman - This article originally appeared in Kaiser Health News, a
nonprofit national health policy news service. KHN's coverage in California is
funded in part by Blue Shield of California Foundation.

An electronic program launched in 2012 by Los Angeles County's health care
system has reduced wait times for specialty care and eliminated the need for
some safety-net patients to see specialists at all, according to a new study in
the journal Health Affairs.

The program, eConsult, allows primary care doctors to get specialists' advice
for their patients and expedite referrals for those who need in-person
appointments. About a quarter of the requests included in the study were
resolved without patients needing to see an advanced-care doctor, though there
was variation among the specialties.

"It completely changed how specialty care was delivered in a safety net system,"
said Michael Barnett, an assistant professor of health policy and management at
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and lead author of the study.

The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services provides care for about
670,000 patients each year in a system that includes four hospitals, 19 health
centers and dozens of community providers. The system serves a low-income
population -- mostly uninsured or covered by Medi-Cal -- who traditionally have
had difficulty getting access to specialty care.

The eConsult system handles over 17,000 requests each month. About 4,500
providers from more than 400 clinics use the system, according to the county. In
2016, the program served about 130,000 patients.

One of the major benefits of the eConsult system is that it centralizes requests
for care from specialists such as cardiologists, neurologists or gynecologists,
Barnett said.

Primary care doctors using eConsult have access to a secure, web-based portal to
make requests for assistance from specialists. A specialist "reviewer" responds
and helps the primary care physician decide how best to manage the patient's
condition.

That may mean giving advice, suggesting a specific treatment or recommending the
patient see a specialist. If a patient needs a visit right away, the system
allows for an expedited appointment.

In many cases, primary care doctors can resolve clinical issues with their
patients simply by having a conversation, Barnett said. "Many referrals are for
issues that could be resolved pretty easily if a primary care doctor could get a
specialist's attention," he said.

That means those patients wouldn't need to take another day off work, figure out
transportation across town and wait to see a specialist, said Paul Giboney,
director of specialty care for the Los Angeles County Department of Health
Services. Instead, the care could be delivered in the offices of their primary
care doctors.

About 30 percent of patients who needed a face-to-face visit with a specialist
in 2015 were able to get one within 30 days, up from 24 percent in 2014.

Difficulty getting appointments with specialists is a challenge for low-income
patients across the United States. Without timely access, patients may get
sicker and turn to the emergency room for care.

That was happening on a large scale in L.A. County before the implementation of
the eConsult program. Some patients had to wait more than nine months for an
appointment with a urologist or a gastroenterologist, for example, the study
said.

The eConsult program started as an experiment to reduce the backlog, but Giboney
said the county's public health care system is now using it "day in and day
out."

Despite the size and complexity of the Los Angeles County health care system,
the eConsult program works efficiently, suggesting that "specialty access is not
an intractable problem," the study said.

Giboney said the results show that electronic conversations between primary care
doctors and specialists can improve the way business is done.

"Within a day, the specialist is already engaged and adding something to the
patient's care," he said. "We are a public system that is delivering a speed of
specialty care that is really unmatched."

Since eConsult was rolled out in L.A. County, Giboney said he has talked to
providers from Colorado, Illinois and Connecticut about starting similar
programs.

Despite the efficiency of the system, Barnett said, there is still room for
improvement on the wait times. The average amount of time it took for a patient
to see a specialist in 2015 was still 52 days, though it had dropped about 17
percent from 63 days in 2014.

Patients who needed ear, nose and throat doctors and those who had kidney
problems, cancer or blood diseases saw the most dramatic reductions in waiting
time. The wait to see an ear, nose and throat specialist, for example, dropped
from 72 to 44 days.

Wait times increased in only one of the dozen specialties examined: Patients had
to wait on average 75 days in 2015 to see a podiatrist, up from 65 the previous
year.

Barnett said the next step is to study the impact of the program on quality of
care.

Giboney said he isn't satisfied with the wait times either, despite the
reduction, but he noted that sometimes doctors want patients to wait a few weeks
to see if a treatment is working before going to see a specialist.

"It is not always about reducing the wait time," Giboney said. "It's about
delivering the right specialty care at the right time."

NetChemistry's eConsult System Lowers Wait Times for Access to Specialists

Boston MA, March 2017

Originally posted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

Low-income patients served by the Los Angeles County Department of Health
Services (DHS) waited significantly less time to receive specialty care after
DHS implemented an electronic system aimed at expediting access to specialists,
according to a new study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

The findings provide some of the first evidence suggesting that using a
web-based platform could improve access to specialists for underserved patients
in any health system with significant constraints on specialty supply and
access.

The study was published March 6, 2017 in the March issue of Health Affairs.

"In the Department of Health Services, primary care providers often had enormous
difficulty getting timely specialty care for their low-income patients," said
lead author Michael Barnett, assistant professor of health policy and management
at Harvard Chan School. "We found that adoption of a centralized, electronic
system for specialty care led to sustainable improvements in access to care."

In 2012, the Los Angeles County DHS rolled out the "eConsult" system - an
electronic system that enabled primary care providers to request assistance from
specialists via a web-based platform with rapid specialist review and triage.
eConsult replaced the old system of phone calls, emails, and faxes, which often
left patients waiting months for face-to-face appointments.

After three years of steady growth, the eConsult system was in use by over 3,000
primary care providers, and 12,082 consultations were taking place each month.
By 2015, median time to an electronic response from a specialist was just one
day, and one quarter of eConsults were resolved without a specialist visit.

In addition, the median wait time to see a specialist decreased 17.4%, from 63
to 52 days. And the percentage of appointments scheduled within 30 days of the
initial request increased from 24% to 30.2%.

"eConsult has helped Los Angeles County transform itself from a health system
characterized by fragmentation of care and long wait times into an integrated
health system in which a community of connected providers works together to meet
the needs of our patients," said Paul Giboney, director of specialty care at the
LA County DHS and senior author of the study.

The study was supported by the California Health Care Foundation and the Blue
Shield Foundation of California.

Improving Behavioral Care for Vulnerable Populations, L.A. Care Health Plan
Expands eManagement System to Increase Access and Electronic Care Coordination
between Community-based Physicians and the L.A. County Dept. of Mental Health

Newport Beach CA, January 2017

eManagement Enables Primary Care Physicians to Provide Behavioral Health
Assessments in the Medical Home - Expediting Early Identification and Treatment

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative web-based healthcare solutions
for organizations assisting underserved populations, is pleased to announce that
L.A. Care Health Plan (L.A. Care) is expanding the eManagement system to connect
community-based physicians with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental
Health (LADMH).

L.A. Care will provide over 200 private practice physicians with direct,
electronic communication to LADMH through the eManagement system developed by
NetChemistry. In addition to improving access and care coordination with
behavioral health providers, the platform will facilitate early identification
and triaging of patients with depression - the most prevalent mental health
disorder in primary care.

"We are excited to expand and expedite access to quality mental health care for
our members," shares L.A. Care CEO John Baackes. "Mental and physical health are
inextricably linked - to be successful we must provide a holistic and closely
coordinated approach to care management. With this technology we can help
facilitate the communication necessary for better care, while reducing barriers
for primary and specialty care physicians - and for their patients."

With this system, primary care physicians (PCPs) treating L.A. Care patients
will be able to quickly access LADMH providers with electronic peer-to-peer
consultations (eConsults) for inquiries on treatment guidelines or medication
management. In addition, integrated assessments - including the Patient Health
Questionnaire or "PHQ" - enable PCPs to screen patients for depression and other
conditions during their appointment, in the trusted environment of their medical
home.

If a referral for mental health services is appropriate, PCPs can simply and
expeditiously connect patients with the right provider for their needs - and
prioritize referral for patients who are at higher risk. The assessment scores
and key elements of the patient history accompany the electronic referral -
ensuring a more informed and effective first visit with the behavioral
specialist.

"Mental health providers and primary care physicians have long recognized the
need for more coordinated care - but the day-to-day barriers of our healthcare
system have made that exceedingly difficult," shares Chris Cruttenden, President
of NetChemistry. "We're honored to partner in this unique public/private
initiative that improves access and makes physician-to-physician communication
truly scalable; it's exciting to see the potential of technology applied in such
a meaningful area."

Medical Home Network expanding innovative health care model to Cook County's
safety net population

Chicago IL, December 2016

Medical Home Network's (MHN) innovative model for coordinating care and
utilization of web-based technology to improve health care delivery was expanded
to the entire Cook County Health and Hospitals System's (CCHHS) Medicaid managed
care population thanks to a vote by the CCHHS Board of Directors, MHN announced
today.

"Cook County is at a time in our history when we must find new and innovative
ways to address the health care needs and challenges of our patient population,
while continuing to reduce the cost of care," said Dr. Jay Shannon, chief
executive officer of CCHHS. "Our board's decision to continue our partnership
with MHN is one of the ways we will be working to achieve that objective. I look
forward to the results we will achieve together through growing the role of
MHN."

MHN and CCHHS have successfully partnered to deliver better, more efficient
health care to approximately 150,000 patients enrolled in CCHHS's managed care
plan, CountyCare. Today, CCHHS expands MHN's connectivity to include all of the
CountyCare population and services provided by, as allowed by law, mental health
providers, substance abuse providers, immediate and urgent care centers, and
Cermak Health Services, which provides health care to the 9,000 detainees at the
Cook County Department of Corrections. Connecting the broader county medical
system of hospitals, clinics and primary care providers enables better care
management for patients within the CountyCare system.

"We are excited to continue building on our partnership with the Cook County
Health and Hospitals Systems as we expand MHNConnect to more broadly connect
vital parts of the health care system," said Cheryl Lulias, president and
executive director of Medical Home Network. "Our partnership has been uniquely
successful due to a shared commitment to improve the health outcomes of a
growing safety net patient population while reducing the cost of care."

MHNConnect is a secure, web-based portal that shares real-time patient
information between doctors, hospitals, and clinics and integrates historical
health records into one platform to allow for coordination of patient care.
MHNConnect generates a real-time alert if a patient is hospitalized and notifies
their primary care provider and their care coordinator to provide for timely
follow-up care, reducing the probability that the patient will need to be
readmitted to the hospital.

MHN currently connects 197 clinics, 21 hospitals, more than 1,600 primary care
providers, and more than 150,000 patients in some of Cook County's most
vulnerable communities. Since July 2014, MHN has provided more than 1.6 million
real-time alerts, facilitated approximately 1,300 follow-up appointments per
month, and enabled approximately 100,000 transitions of care for CountyCare
members.

By enhancing collaboration, communication and integration across this network,
MHN significantly reduces the number of hospital admissions and improves overall
health outcomes for patients at safety net health centers like Esperanza Health
Centers on Chicago's Southwest Side.

"More than half the residents in our service area experience significant
economic, educational, and health disparities," said Chief Executive Officer Dan
Fulwiler of Esperanza Health Centers, a founding partner of MHN. "Our
partnership with MHN has been invaluable in improving health care delivery for
our patients."

MHN's model resulted in a 130.4 percent increase in timely patient follow-up
visits, a 25 percent decrease in 30-day hospital readmissions, and a decrease in
the overall cost of care for each patient for Esperanza Health Centers.

"MHN is committed to applying our proven, technology-enabled model and track
record of results for the entire CountyCare population," continued Lulias.

About Medical Home Network
Medical Home Network is a 501(c)3 non-profit Chicago-based health care
collaborative devoted to transforming health care delivery for Chicago Medicaid
patients by fostering collaboration and innovation among safety net providers.
The Medical Home Network collaborative consists of leaders from 12 health care
organizations, who continue to have an equal voice in decision-making at Medical
Home Network. In addition, Medical Home Network has grown its connectivity to 21

information exchange among disparate providers and monitoring of patient
hospital utilization by care managers. The Medical Home Network portal captures
60 percent of CountyCare member patient activity as it occurs, benefitting the
overall health care for almost 170,000 CountyCare patients. The MHN ACO, a
provider-owned LLC, was launched as one of CountyCare's network of providers in
August of 2014. More information is available at www.MHNChicago.org.

NetChemistry's eConsult Technology Brings Specialty Services to School-Based
Health Centers in Rural New Mexico

Newport Beach CA, September 2016

Electronic Specialty Care Consultations to Improve Access, Equity, and Care
Coordination for At-risk, Underserved Children

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative web-based healthcare technology
for organizations assisting underserved populations, announced today that the
company's award-winning eConsult technology will be used by Connecticut-based
Community Health Center, Inc. (CHC) and CHC's research arm, the Weitzman
Institute, in a ground-breaking telehealth network to assist New Mexico
school-based health centers (SBHCs) in bringing quality specialty care services
to underprivileged children in remote areas of the state. The new program has
been funded through a $1.1 million award by the federal HRSA Telehealth Network
Grant Program.

NetChemistry's eConsult technology, which is used extensively by public and
private healthcare organizations across the nation, will provide unprecedented
access to specialty care for high-risk children in New Mexico's frontier areas
by facilitating web-based communications between SBHC providers and specialty
care providers in the areas of behavioral health, cardiology, endocrinology and
pulmonology.

"While the Affordable Care Act has greatly improved healthcare access for
children - those living in rural areas with limited specialist availability
still face substantial inequity," says Chris Cruttenden, President of
NetChemistry. "The New Mexico SBHC program is especially significant, as it
marks the inaugural application of NetChemistry's eConsult technology within an
exclusively youth-based population, paving the way for quality healthcare
services for all children, regardless of geographic location."

"NetChemistry's extensive work within rural populations throughout the country
makes their eConsult technology the perfect tool for this new initiative," says
Mark Masselli, CHC's President and CEO. "We are excited to partner with a
mission-driven organization like NetChemistry to bring specialty care to the
underserved children of New Mexico."

NetChemistry's eConsult platform provides high quality specialty advice at a
patient's local clinic within 48 hours. Published outcomes demonstrate shorter
specialty care wait times, reduction in the need for face-to-face specialty
visits and travel, reduced emergency room utilization, and lower costs while
maintaining high quality of care. As part of the New Mexico SBHC program, CHC
will track program success through outcomes measurement in behavioral health,
obesity, diabetes and asthma.

eConsult Care Coordination System Offers Effective Interoperability Workaround
for Meaningful Use Objective 5 in Los Angeles County

Newport Beach CA, August 2016

Connecting Medical Home and Specialists - eConsult Also Enables Secure,
Electronic CCD Delivery for Providers

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative healthcare technology that
increases care coordination and access to evidence-based care, is pleased to
announce that the company's eConsult technology - a specialty care referral
system that enables secure, online collaboration between primary care physicians
and specialists - also offers an effective interoperability workaround for
providers seeking to achieve Meaningful Use (MU) Objective 5 under the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) EHR Incentive Program.

MU Objective 5 requires providers with 100 or more referrals during the MU
yearly reporting period to send a Continuity of Care Document or "CCD" (which is
generated from a certified EHR system) via a secure, electronic exchange for 10%
of their patients. Despite widespread adoption of EHR systems by primary care
providers in Los Angeles County, many challenges remain in the secure
transmission of CCDs, including:

 * Limited interoperability in health information technology (HIT)
 * Lack of a health information exchange (HIE) network
 * Many specialists have not yet adopted EHRs

Community health centers (CHCs) may be further challenged with financial
barriers. The Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County (CCALAC), the
largest regional association and advocacy group for nonprofit and free clinics
in California, worked with NetChemistry to utilize the eConsult system (which Is
widely employed by public and private healthcare providers and systems across LA
County) as an effective workaround for community health centers in meeting MU
Objective 5 requirements.

"eConsult already plays a critical role for underserved and safety net
populations in Los Angeles, by increasing access to specialty care at our
community and federally qualified health centers," says Aisha Iqbal, Director of
HealthIT at CCALAC. "And by providing a secure method for delivery of CCDs, the
platform is further supporting these centers in achieving their mission of
providing the highest quality and continuity of care."

Using the heath center's existing workflow to minimize impact to providers and
staff - the CCD is generated using the center's certified EHR technology, then
attached and securely transmitted within the eConsult system. Utilizing the
eConsult CCD workaround, LA county-based CHCs and specialists are successfully
sharing health information to improve care coordination and provide the highest
quality patient care.

"Community and federally-qualified health centers serve as the frontline for our
nation's underserved and underinsured populations," says Chris Cruttenden,
President of NetChemistry. "We are honored to support their important work, and
pleased to be able to provide a bridge solution that enables them to qualify for
mission-critical CMS incentives while the challenges of interoperability are
resolved."

Healthcare Organizations in Los Angeles County Earn eConsult Certification from
Weitzman Institute

Newport Beach CA, August 2016

Community Clinic Association of LA County and Three Prominent Community Health
Centers Utilizing NetChemistry's eConsult Telemedicine System Participate in a
Course Designed to Facilitate Best Practices in Organizational Change and Care
Management

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative web-based healthcare tools for
organizations assisting underserved populations, is pleased to announce that
four Los Angeles (LA) County healthcare organizations have earned eConsult
Certification in the inaugural session of Connecticut-based Weitzman Institute's
"eConsult Practice Facilitator Certification Training" - a new, independent
educational program for healthcare organizations that utilize electronic
store-and-forward consultation technology, or "eConsult."

Participating in the Certification program were four LA-based healthcare groups:
Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County (CCALAC), the largest
regional association and advocacy group for nonprofit and free clinics in
California; and three Community Health Centers (CHCs) that have been using
NetChemistry's eConsult system for two or more years - Northeast Valley Health
Corporation, one of the nation's largest CHCs; Arroyo Vista Family Health
Foundation, a nonprofit, community based Federally Qualified Health Center
(FQHC); and Hubert H. Humphrey Comprehensive Health Center, one of seven
comprehensive health centers operated by the LA Department of Health Services
(LADHS). Attendees included administrators and medical officers with a common
goal of utilizing eConsult data to drive lasting change.

eConsult is an online collaboration tool designed by NetChemistry that
electronically connects primary care physicians with specialists to bring
cost-effective, high-quality specialty care into the medical home. The eConsult
system provides clinics with a wealth of population and practice management
data, and Weitzman's eConsult Certification curriculum is designed to give
eConsult program administrators actionable insights to increase information
sharing, meet quality standards, and inform new care processes - inspiring a
vision of telehealth's growing role within clinic workflow management.
Organizations with Certified eConsult facilitators will be better positioned to
achieve key meaningful use and care management objectives.

"CHCs across LA County are adopting new technologies such as NetChemistry's
eConsult - a cost-effective model for enhanced continuity of care and improved
health outcomes," says Aisha Iqbal, Director of HealthIT at CCALAC. "The
Weitzman eConsult Certification provides the CCALAC team with excellent tools
and resources to help our members' maximize the full potential of the eConsult
system to promote positive change within their organizations."

"So many parties and roles are needed to implement change - it can be a
challenge to incorporate the varying ideas and needs within an organization,"
says Raymond Perry, M.D., Director of Hubert H. Humphrey Comprehensive Health
Center. "We need easier and more effective ways to learn from each other and
make decisions, so we can move forward in agreement on priorities and plans for
change that help us achieve our mission. The certification program has given us
real-world methods for integrating telehealth into our workflows - and
actionable strategies for sharing the vision with our team through positive
communication and collaboration."

"The Weitzman eConsult Certification program provides healthcare leaders with
tools and techniques to translate the insights from the eConsult system into
actionable strategies that can be employed across their organization," says
Chris Cruttenden, President of NetChemistry. "eConsult has significantly
improved specialty access and care coordination for individual patients - we are
excited to see the resulting data leveraged at the population level, to further
improve healthcare outcomes, costs, and efficiency."

NetChemistry's eConsult System Links California State Hospital's Norwalk
Facility with LA County Department of Health Services for Unprecedented Access
to Specialty Care

Newport Beach CA, June 2016

Expert Specialty Advice Delivered Through Electronic Consultations - Promoting
Efficiency, Cost Reduction, and Appropriate Medical Care for Psychiatric
Patients

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative web-based healthcare tools for
organizations assisting underserved populations, is pleased to announce that
California Department of State Hospitals - Metropolitan (DSH-Metropolitan), one
of five DSH-managed California state psychiatric hospitals caring for patients
who have been mandated for treatment by a criminal or civil court judge, will
use NetChemistry's eConsult system to provide patients with onsite specialty
care services and referrals through the Los Angeles County Department of Health
Services (LADHS).

DSH-Metropolitan, located in Norwalk, Los Angeles County, operates 750 beds for
psychiatric patients who typically have more medical issues than the general
population. Historically, obtaining specialty care for state hospital patients
at county medical centers has been a disjointed process between separate
entities and facilities - oftentimes resulting in emergency room utilization for
non-emergent issues like dermatology, endocrinology, or gastroenterology.
NetChemistry's eConsult system creates unprecedented connectivity and
collaboration between DSH-Metropolitan physicians and LADHS specialists at the
LAC + USC Medical Center, providing direct access to specialty care through
electronic consultations and pre-qualified referrals.

How eConsult Connects DSH-Metropolitan with County Specialists. NetChemistry's
eConsult technology facilitates a convenient online connection between
DSH-Metropolitan staff and LAC + USC specialists - allowing them to easily share
notes, charts, and labs to create individualized patient plans in a timely
fashion (often in just 1-2 days). eConsult gives DSH-Metropolitan physicians a
method for resolving many specialty issues directly on campus, which alleviates
the stress, expense, and liability associated with transporting patients
offsite. For patients who need a face-to-face, eConsult provides an avenue for
pre-qualified specialty referrals to the LAC + USC Medical Center, reducing the
burden of ER utilization for non-emergent issues.

"At DSH-Metropolitan, we house an aging population of chronically severely ill
patients," says Dr. Michael Barsom, Executive Director of DSH-Metropolitan. "Our
60-bed skilled nursing facility is always full, and there is always a waiting
list. eConsult gives us a direct link to specialty care - it's like being right
there on the LAC + USC campus. It eliminates the need to transport patients for
an initial evaluation, and often provides specialty care without the need to
even leave the building at all, which saves time, effort, and expense."

"DSH-Metropolitan is a dedicated, enthusiastic partner," says Chris Cruttenden,
President of NetChemistry. "We are thrilled for this opportunity to help them
connect with LADHS for enhanced onsite specialty care and electronic referrals.
We look forward to a lasting relationship with DSH and the potential for
extending our services to the statewide DSH network."

About DSH-Metropolitan
DSH-Metropolitan is one of five state hospitals run by the California Department
of State Hospitals (DSH) to care for patients who are under a civil
conservatorship or have committed or are accused of committing crimes related to
mental illness. The DHS mission is to provide evaluation and treatment in a safe

NetChemistry's eConsult Telehealth Technology Expands Specialty Care Access for
HealthyCT Members, in Partnership with Community eConsult Network

Newport Beach CA, May 2016

High-Risk, Underserved Patients Receive Specialty Advice in Their Medical Home
Within 2 Days

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative web-based healthcare tools for
organizations assisting underserved populations, is pleased to announce that
HealthyCT, Connecticut's non-profit health insurance CO-OP, will utilize
NetChemistry's eConsult technology under contract with Community eConsult
Network (CeCN) (a program of Community Health Center, Inc. (CHC), Connecticut's
largest primary care provider for the underserved, and CHC's Weitzman Institute)
to provide timely access to quality specialty care for high-risk, underserved
HealthyCT members.

Based on exceptional results of a year-long eConsult pilot within CHC, CeCN was
established to serve as an eConsult hub - not only for CHC patients, but also
for patients across Connecticut and beyond. HealthyCT's agreement with CeCN
opens the door for patients and providers across Connecticut to gain access to
NetChemistry's valuable eConsult tool.

In March 2016, HealthyCT rolled out a customized version of the CeCN eConsult
program - powered by NetChemistry's award-winning eConsult technology platform -
to Community Health Centers across Connecticut, with plans to expand the program
to additional practices in the coming months. Fully funded by HealthyCT,
eConsult is provided at no cost to participating centers or patients, in an
effort to improve care coordination and communication between primary care
physicians (PCPs) and specialists, increase specialty care access, and reduce
healthcare costs.

The HealthyCT eConsult system gives participating PCPs a convenient way to
connect with specialists in areas such as cardiology, dermatology,
ophthalmology, pain management, and endocrinology - with more specialties to be
added over time. When a patient has a concern that may need specialty attention,
PCPs can use the eConsult portal to securely submit questions and relevant
patient information such as chart notes and lab results - and a specialist will
review the information and provide advice within two business days. This
eliminates wait times and travel for those who do not require a face-to-face,
keeps more patients in their medical home, and reserves specialty appointments
for pre-qualified individuals.

"CeCN has a nationwide mission to help organizations such as HealthyCT leverage
next-generation technology like NetChemistry's eConsult platform to improve
healthcare for underserved populations," says Daren Anderson, MD, Director of
Weitzman Institute, and Vice President, Chief Quality Officer of CHC. "Because
eConsult technology gives primary care physicians convenient and direct access
to specialists, we are seeing outstanding outcomes in continuity of care,
access, cost reduction, and quality of health."

"We are thrilled to be part of CeCN's efforts to expand eConsult across the
nation in partnership with pioneering organizations like HealthyCT," says Chris
Cruttenden, President of NetChemistry. "What an exciting advancement in role of
telehealth technology for improving healthcare access, coordination, and equity
for millions of Americans."

Connecticut Medicaid is First in Nation to Approve Reimbursement for eConsult
Telehealth Solution from NetChemistry in partnership with Community Health
Center, Inc.

Newport Beach CA, May 2016

In a Landmark Decision, Underserved Medicaid Recipients in Connecticut Are
Eligible to Receive Free, Timely Access to Specialty Care via eConsult
Technology

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative web-based care coordination
solutions, is pleased to announce that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
(CMS) have approved payment by Medicaid to federally qualified health centers
(FQHCs) in Connecticut for electronic consultations (eConsults) with medical
specialists. NetChemistry's proprietary eConsult platform is utilized by
Community Health Center, Inc. (CHC) to provide increased access to expert care
for the state's medically underserved population.

Daren Anderson, MD, Director of Weitzman Institute, and Vice President, Chief
Quality Officer of CHC of Connecticut has been instrumental in working with the
Department of Social Services to obtain reimbursement status for the eConsult
program. "Garnering Medicaid reimbursement approval for healthcare initiatives
is a complex process," explains Anderson. "Eligible programs must demonstrate
solid proof of efficacy, cost savings, and ongoing value; we were able to meet
these objectives through the positive outcomes of a year-long pilot that
utilized NetChemistry's eConsult technology to enhance specialty care within our
CHC health centers."

With limited specialty providers available to treat Medicaid patients,
appointment wait times can be as long as a year, leading to healthcare
disparities, higher rates of disability, and complications in chronic diseases.
NetChemistry's eConsult system has been proven to increase access to timely,
cost-effective specialty services for underinsured and underserved patients,
many of whom live in rural areas with limited access to specialty care. CHC has
used NetChemistry's eConsult technology to facilitate over 1000 eConsults
between primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialists at FQHCs across
Connecticut, in fields such as cardiology, dermatology, and endocrinology -
demonstrating an ability to provide specialty advice for patients through the
PCP office in less than one day on average, with 89 percent of specialty needs
resolved within the medical home. As of January 2016, CHC has begun contracting
with state and federal agencies, as well as private insurers, to provide the
NetChemistry eConsult system to medically underserved patients across the U.S.

"What an honor for CMS to recognize NetChemistry's eConsult technology as a
valuable tool for enhanced specialty care within Medicaid populations," says
Chris Cruttenden, President of NetChemistry. "Together with CHC, the Weitzman
Institute, and health care providers across the nation, we are excited to
leverage our innovative telehealth technology as a cost-effective means for
breaking down the barriers of inequity and disparity - offering better health
for all, regardless of geographic location or socio-economic status."

How NetChemistry eConsult Works. When a patient has a concern that may need
specialty attention, PCPs can use the eConsult portal to securely submit
questions and relevant patient information such as chart notes and lab results -
a specialist will review the information and provide specific advice, often in
less than two business days. This eliminates wait times and travel for those who
do not require a face-to-face, keeps more patients in their medical home, and
reserves specialty appointments for pre-qualified individuals.

providers in the state of Connecticut, building a world-class primary health
care system committed to caring for uninsured and underserved populations. CHC

Partnership HealthPlan of California Rapidly Expands Successful Pilot of
NetChemistry eConsult System to Increase Specialty Care Access Throughout
Northern California

Newport Beach CA, April 2016

TeleMed2U to Provide Integrated Televideo Services for Enhanced Specialty
Network

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative web-based healthcare solutions
for organizations assisting underserved populations, is pleased to announce that
Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC) has expanded the implementation of
its NetChemistry eConsult pilot to begin a full rollout that includes twelve
northern California health clinics with poor access to specialty care. This
pilot expansion launched in February 2016 - a full year earlier than
anticipated.

PHC's initial six-month eConsult pilot commenced in May 2015 within two
federally qualified northern California health centers serving a large Medicaid
population with inadequate access to specialty care. The pilot enabled
PHC-affiliated primary care physicians at Open Door and Marin Community Clinics
to electronically consult with specialists in four distinct specialty fields,
facilitating the delivery of specialty care within the primary care office and
providing timely services for members living hundreds of miles from a
specialist.

The overwhelming success of the eConsult pilot has fueled PHC's desire for a
swift expansion to twelve additional rural and suburban clinics and six total
specialty fields, with plans for further inclusion of prospective provider and
specialty groups in the following months. As PHC serves over half a million
members in fourteen counties, the eConsult system has the potential to reach
hundreds of northern California clinics.

"Expanding the eConsult program will serve our mission of providing timely,
high-quality specialty care to many individuals," said Dr. Robert Moore, Chief
Medical Officer for PHC. "The proof is in the numbers. NetChemistry's eConsult
technology provides the ability to make positive changes in the health and
wellbeing of thousands of rural northern Californians in the convenience of
their primary care offices, saving valuable time and resources."

As part of program expansion, PHC had broadened its specialty network beyond the
four initial fields involved in the pilot by partnering with TeleMed2U, a
company that offers real-time access to physician specialists through the use of
televideo services. In collaboration with TeleMed2U, PHC has been able to
provide patients with access to specialty care services that were previously in
short supply, such as Rheumatology, Endocrinology, Infectious Disease, and
Dermatology. PHC plans to add more specialty services to its eConsult system as
more specialists become available.

"Throughout the pilot period, our partnership with PHC has been productive and
inspiring," said Chris Cruttenden, President of NetChemistry. "Both
organizations have laser focus on best practices for improving specialty care
access and increasing health equity among underserved populations. It speaks
volumes that PHC has decided to share the benefits of the eConsult system within
a broader group of clinics and specialty care providers, including the
outstanding team at TeleMed2U."

About Partnership HealthPlan of California

Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC) is a non-profit community based
health care organization that contracts with the State to administer Medi-Cal
benefits through local care providers to ensure Medi-Cal recipients have access
to high-quality comprehensive cost-effective health care. PHC provides quality
health care to over 560,000 members. Beginning in Solano County in 1994, PHC now
provides services to 14 Northern California counties - Del Norte, Humboldt,
Lake, Lassen, Marin, Mendocino, Modoc, Napa, Shasta, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma,
Trinity and Yolo. For more information, visit www.partnershiphp.org

HealthyCT, Weitzman Institute Team on eConsults

Middletown CT, March 2016

By the Hartford Business Journal

Connecticut nonprofit health insurance co-op HealthyCT has signed a contract
with the Weitzman Institute's Community eConsult Network for electronic
consultations (eConsults) between primary care physicians and specialists.

HealthyCT says it's the first private insurer in the state to pay for eConsults
for its insured through this program.

The eConsult program will allow primary care physicians (PCPs) to confer and
share charts and films securely with colleagues in several specialties and
receive answers to their questions within two business days. There is no cost to
the patient and eConsults eliminate wait times for specialty care appointments
and support better care coordination by the PCP, according to a joint news
release.

eConsults are first being rolled out to HealthyCT members who see primary care
docs at Community Health Centers. The program will expand to practices enrolled
in HealthyCT's Advanced Practice Medical Payment Model.

The eConsults program initially will be available for referrals to cardiology,
dermatology, ophthalmology, pain management and endocrinology.

NetChemistry's eConsult System Recognized at 2016 HIMSS Conference

Newport Beach CA, March 2016

Electronic Specialty Care Coordination Is Transforming Healthcare Access &
Quality for South LA's Underserved

At a HIMSS Conference presentation yesterday, Sajid Ahmed, Chief Information &
Innovation Officer of Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital (MLKCH)
highlighted the role of NetChemistry's eConsult system in L.A. County and the
potential to support a "medical home" model.

Launched in July 2015, MLKCH implemented the infrastructure for a connected "e"
hospital, including telehealth tools like eConsult, to provide specialty-care
coordination for South Los Angeles's safety net population. South L.A.'s
ethnically diverse, low-income, underinsured community of over 1.35 million has
long struggled with barriers to care such as unreliable transportation,
transient housing, low health literacy, and chronic health conditions. Prior to
MLKCH, Ahmed worked at L.A. Care Health Plan and helped to launch eConsult for
L.A. County. L.A. County's adoption of NetChemistry's eConsult system helped
overcome obstacles to specialty care access including long appointment wait
times, no-shows, inconsistent protocols, lack of coordinated care between
providers, and medically unnecessary referrals.

In his HIMSS presentation, Ahmed talked about the role of eConsult in overcoming
barriers to access by facilitating efficient specialty care management through
electronic coordination between primary care and specialty care providers.
Initial outcomes demonstrated faster access to high quality specialty care,
offering electronic consultation services from over 432 specialists in 86
specialties - and 30% of cases resolved in the medical home without the need for
a specialty appointment.

"The eConsult system allows patients to remain in their medical home and resolve
issues more quickly," said Ahmed. "It minimizes transportation barriers, and it
means less time away from work. Benefits like these have increased our patients'
satisfaction with their care to 94.4 percent, as compared to a California peer
group at 86 percent. The cost implications are significant as well; more
efficient care coordination, better utilization of specialty care services,
reduction in re-admission rates, and timely post discharge follow-up will help
keep healthcare costs under control."

"The innovative work of Sajid Ahmed and the MLKCH team is changing the way this
nation thinks about the delivery of healthcare for underserved populations,"
said Chris Cruttenden, President of NetChemistry. "We are thrilled to be a part
of this important undertaking, helping to shape the future of the medical home
model with technology assisted care coordination across the continuum."

Los Angeles County Department of Health Services Offers NetChemistry's eConsult
Solution to Address Zika Virus in Collaboration with the LA Department of Public
Health

Newport Beach CA, March 2016

Electronic Portal Designed to Help Physicians Quickly Identify, Counsel, and
Triage Suspected Zika Virus Cases within LA's Underserved Safety Net Population

Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LADHS) and Los Angeles
Department of Public Health (LADPH) Acute Communicable Diseases in collaboration
with NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative web-based healthcare tools
for organizations assisting underserved populations, are pleased to announce an
innovative eConsult portal that provides physicians with important information
and advice regarding the recent Zika virus outbreak, a mosquito-transmitted
infection that may be associated with birth defects such as microcephaly,
intracranial calcification, and other abnormalities.

Declared a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" by the World
Health Organization, the Zika virus outbreak has left public health officials
searching for solutions to facilitate timely communication among healthcare
practitioners. Leadership at LADPH, LADHS, and NetChemistry have collaborated to
develop a proactive technology solution that addresses this critical need for
peer-to-peer provider communication to improve response time and quality of care
for patients. In early February, LADHS addressed the urgent need for a Zika
virus action plan within LA County's population of 10 million underinsured and
underserved by adding the Zika Virus "specialty" to their eConsult platform.

Zika Virus eConsult facilitates communication between frontline LADHS and LADPH
healthcare providers and knowledgeable Specialists with expertise in how to
treat and manage the virus. Through the eConsult online portal, physicians are
walked through a step-by-step, standardized protocol for testing, managing, and
communicating with patients regarding the Zika virus infection, including
up-to-date CDC guidelines and geographic risk information, plus an ultrasound
appointment triage system for pregnant women who may be at risk.

"We have employed a similar application of eConsult to manage peer-to-peer
communication for the infectious disease Tuberculosis within our population.
eConsult provides us with a nimble and effective platform for responding to
emerging infectious diseases like the Zika virus outbreak." says Dr. Paul
Giboney, Director of Specialty Care for DHS.

"The Zika virus has left physicians and patients overwhelmed with breaking news
reports - yet hampered by a lack of standardization in detection and testing
protocols," says Chris Cruttenden, President of NetChemistry. "We are honored to
be a part of LADPH-DHS's proactive plan, which will bring time-sensitive
resources to medical personnel for more informed patient care."

Community Health Center, Inc. and NetChemistry Announce Expansion of eConsult
Specialty Care Network to Increase Access for Underserved and Underinsured
Populations Across the Nation

Newport Beach CA, January 2016

Community eConsult Network, Inc. (CECN), a subsidiary of Community Health
Center, Inc. (CHC), Connecticut's largest primary care provider for the
underserved, and NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative web-based
healthcare tools for organizations assisting underserved populations, today
announced a nationwide expansion of CECN/CHC to improve access to specialty care
services for patients of health centers throughout the U.S.

This expansion of eConsult services aims to extend the outstanding results of
the New England eConsult Network to the rest of the nation through Federally
Qualified Health Centers and other primary practice (including private)
partnerships. The national rollout includes increasing the number of eConsult
specialty fields. CECN/CHC will partner with TeleMed2U to provide specialty care
consults to rurally located patients, allowing them to receive the care they
need without having to travel many miles to a specialty clinic.

"This exciting national expansion is inspired by the extremely positive outcomes
we have seen throughout New England," said Daren Anderson, MD, Director of
Weitzman Institute, and Vice President, Chief Quality Officer of CHC. "Over the
coming months we will be working closely with NetChemistry, TeleMed2U, and
clinics across America to replicate these outcomes on a nationwide scale.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of millions of underserved
individuals."

Since its inception, CECN/CHC has increased access to timely, cost-effective
specialty services for New England's underinsured and underserved patients, many
of whom live in rural areas with limited access to specialty care. These
patients struggled with long appointment wait times and delayed care. To date,
CECN/CHC has facilitated over 1000 electronic clinical consultations between
PCPs from CHC and Penobscot Community Health Care - Maine's largest federally
FQHC - and specialty physicians at UConn Health in fields such as Cardiology,
Dermatology, and Endocrinology. The CECN/CHC initiative has demonstrated an
ability to provide eConsults for patients in less than one day on average, and
to date 89 percent of participating patients' specialty needs are resolved
within the medical home.

How eConsult Works
When a patient has a health complaint that may need specialty attention, their
PCP can use eConsult to submit questions and relevant information such as chart
notes and lab results via a web-based, HIPAA compliant communication system
developed by NetChemistry. This easy-to-use system provides step-by-step
decision support and built-in specialty-specific referral guidelines to
efficiently triage patients' needs; participating specialists provide
recommendations for diagnosis, treatment, and referral. While some patients may
need to see a specialist, a majority of eConsults provide PCPs with the
necessary recommendations to manage patients in the primary care setting with no
need for a face-to-face consult, resulting in improved efficiency and patient
care.

"The beauty of the eConsult system is that its reach knows no geographic
boundaries," said Chris Cruttenden, president of NetChemistry. "Because this is
an Internet-based network, we have the ability to partner with marvelous
organizations like CHC and TeleMed2U to offer high quality, timely specialty
care to millions of people - whether near or far, rural or urban, insured or
underinsured. With technology-based solutions like eConsult, disparities and
inequity no longer overshadow an individual's ability to receive quality
healthcare."

MHN Network Decreases Readmissions

December 2015

The healthcare system in Chicago is fragmented as care is provided by a number
of entities with little or no communication taking place between them. The
Medical Home Network (MHN) in Chicago www.mhnchicago.org uses technology to
communicate enabling healthcare teams to more effectively improve communications
with patients in the region.

MHN helps deliver better healthcare to Medicaid patients by using a
patient-centered and team-based model of care. According to data from
MHNConnect's www.mhnconnect.com web-based care coordination tool, it was found
that the team approach to healthcare plus using up-to-date and innovative
communication technologies has lowered hospital readmissions, shortened the
length of hospital stays, increased follow-up visits with providers, and reduced
costs.

MHNConnect was the first technology of its kind to be implemented across
disparate entities such as hospitals and primary care practices in Illinois.
This technology enables providers and care teams to access to real time and
historical data and receive immediate patient activity alerts. Today MHNConnect
continues to expand and is currently providing integrated connectivity for 20
hospitals and more than 170 primary care practices.

MHNConnect cares for 170,000 Medicaid patients in Chicago. The facilities
utilizing MHNConnect include a number of FQHCs, along with the Mount Sinai
Medical Center www.sinai.org, St. Anthony Hospital www.sahchicago.org, Cook
County Hospital and Hospital System, www.cookcountyhhs.org, Holy Cross Hospital
www.holycrosshospital.org, and La Rabida Children's Hospital www.larabida.org.

"Having access to real time information and up-to-the-minute details pertaining
to the patient's health care utilization is invaluable," said Arthur Jones, MD,
Chief Medical Officer of MHN and longtime practicing physician on Chicago's West
side.

First technology of its kind in Illinois, MHNConnect's innovative connectivity
creates care management without boundaries, improving health care delivery

PRNewswire -- In Chicago, Medical Home Network is changing the way health care
is being delivered to Medicaid patients through innovative technology combined
with a highly efficient, patient-centered, team-based model of care.

This model is being implemented in concert with MHNConnect, a secure web-based
care coordination tool that allows real-time data sharing between various
entities, like hospitals and primary care practices, effectively connecting care
coordinators across the city and bridging gaps in care. As the first technology
of its kind to be implemented across disparate entities in Illinois, MHNConnect
now enables providers and care teams access to real-time and historical data,
plus immediate patient activity alerts, prompting them to log into the system.
This marks a major improvement in health care, resulting in better, more
informed decision-making at the point of care, plus faster, more coordinated
care transitions for patients across the continuum.

The reach of MHNConnect continues to expand and is currently providing
integrated connectivity for 20 hospitals and more than 170 primary care
practices.
"MHNConnect's connectivity is transforming the way providers collaborate to
deliver better care at a lower cost," said Cheryl Lulias, president and
executive director of Medical Home Network. "This care model is transforming the
way health care is delivered because we are now breaking down the four walls of
the doctor's office and extending care delivery to our patients and the entire
health care community linked on MHNConnect."

An examination of the data from two years of MHNConnect's implementation
(2012-2013) versus a baseline year (2011), reveals there was a significant
decrease in hospital readmissions and a substantial increase in timely follow-up
visits with primary care doctors among the pioneer early-adopters - specifically
six Federally Qualified Health Centers and six hospital systems caring for
170,000 Medicaid patients. Comparing performance year one (2012) to the previous
year (baseline), Medical Home Network's partner hospitals and clinics recorded a
12.4 percent reduction in hospital readmissions (within 30 days of being
discharged) in year one and 24.8 percent reduction in year two (2013). The
number of inpatient hospital days decreased 3.7 percent from baseline in year
one and 24.4 percent from baseline in year two. The average length of stay
decreased 5.1 percent from baseline in year one and 20.2 percent from baseline
in year two. Finally, the cost of care per member per month, decreased 3.3
percent from baseline in year one and 5.0 percent from baseline in year two.
"Data has proven MHNConnect to be a highly efficient and reliable care
coordination tool, giving care teams access to their patients' pertinent
information and activity, which helps provide a better understanding of the
health care history and utilization throughout the system," said Anthony Perry,
MD, chief medical officer of Rush University Medical Group, which has been using
MHNConnect since its introduction. "Providing that information to physicians
empowers them to understand and meet their patients' needs and make the best
health care decisions for those patients."

The extended care delivery facilitated by MHNConnect is exemplified by the story
of a 34 year-old man, who up until the introduction of the Affordable Care Act,
had no medical coverage. After January of 2014, he was assigned to Rush
University Medical Group for his primary care. A nurse care coordinator received
a real-time alert, logged into the portal, and was able to track his health care
usage in the MHNConnect system. The man, who suffers from COPD, diabetes, and
sleep apnea was in and out of the emergency department at several hospitals in
order to receive care. The care coordinator was able to contact the man and
assign him to a primary care physician for his overall care, a pulmonologist for
his COPD and dietician for his diabetes. Two days later, she was surprised to
receive a MHNConnect real-time alert saying he was in Stroger Hospital's
emergency room. He was there to get his blood pressure and glucose levels
checked. At this point, he didn't realize that he could have contacted, or even
walked into, his medical home at his primary care clinic. The nurse explained
this to him and he is now on track to improve his health care, knowing he has a
care team he can access at any time. The nurse worked with him to establish a
plan and for the first time in his life, he has a health record that his doctor,
specialists and care team can review in order to best help him.

The example of this man's improved patient experience, and reduced reliance on
Emergency Room care, is part of a growing trend brought about in large part by
the providers and care teams who have adopted the use of MHNConnect.
"Having access to real-time information and up-to-the-minute details pertaining
to each patient's health care utilization is invaluable," said Arthur Jones, MD,
chief medical officer of Medical Home Network and longtime practicing physician
on Chicago's West side. "Analysis reveals that now, for each Chicago Medicaid
patient going to the hospital for a health problem, one out of every three will
make a follow-up visit to their primary care physician after hospital discharge.
That's a big step in the right direction for health care in Chicago."

The successful incorporation of technology into Medical Home Network's hospitals
and clinics is now being applied to the Medical Home Network (MHN) ACO, working
with Cook County Health and Hospitals System's managed care program, CountyCare,
garnering similar results and signaling the future use of technology to deliver
affordable and efficient quality health care.

eConsults: Telemedicine for our Neediest Populations

September 2015

By Mark Masselli, originally posted on LinkedIn Pulse

Two articles caught my eye today.  The first was an issue brief from the
Commonwealth Fund, which focused on the strength of America's premier primary
care safety net: community health centers.  The article evaluated those health
centers who had adopted the  Patient Centered Medical Home ( PCMH) model of
care.  The study looks at the period from 2009 to 2013 and makes the observation
that on almost all metrics, capability has improved dramatically  - except in
providing access to specialty care. In particular for Medicaid and uninsured
patients who make up 75% of the patient population, community health centers
showed declines in obtaining specialist or subspecialist appointments and
procedures.    

In the WSJ there was an article about Google's investment in a health insurance
startup.  The company will be giving free unlimited telemedicine services to
their patients with phone access to a physician within 10 minutes.  A Google
official noted "What we're excited about is companies that can transform the
cost curve through technology".  There's been lots of investment activity like
this recently in telemedicine, mostly in the private sector.  Unfortunately, few
of these investments are focused in on America's most needy population, which is
disappointing as change in this space has global implications.  Community Health
Centers are often  left without financial capital, so we need to bring our
intellectual capital to the table to see what we can accomplish.

At our Community Health Center, we've developed the Weitzman Institute, an
organization dedicated to inspiring primary care innovation.  One of our
initiatives is working on ways to use telemedicine to provide access to
specialists for this population.  We are rolling out an eConsult network,
initially in New England, and then across the country.  We start by sending the
data and not the patient for the consultation. We've based this on the work of
Dr. Mitch Katz, Director of the LA health county system.  Seven years ago, Dr.
Mitch Katz spoke at our Weitzman Symposium about his pioneering work in San
Francisco.

Soon after meeting Mitch we undertook a clinical trial with eConsults in
Cardiology.  Our finding -- that an initial specialist consultant screen
provided substantial benefit to the patient, provider, and system -- will be
soon published in The Annals of Family Medicine. Most importantly our State
Medicaid agency has recently agreed to reimburse us for the econsults.  Our hope
is that their leadership will bring other state Medicaid agencies to the table.

We'd love to hear about your perspective on how to improve access to specialist
care for those at community health centers - I can be reached at mark@chc1.com
or reach out to Dr. Daren Anderson, head of the Weitzman Institute, at
daren@chc1.com

eConsult Named as Finalist for the 2015 ABBY Awards

Santa Ana CA, September 2015

Winners to be Chosen October 21 in Long Beach

Nine innovative healthcare companies (listed below) will compete for the 2015
ABBY Awards, at the 16th Innovations in HealthcareSM Awards Event, on October
21, 2015, in Long Beach. The Event, presented by the Adaptive Business Leaders
(ABL) Organization, recognizes innovative organizations and individuals who are
dramatically reducing the cost of quality healthcare.

The ABBY Awards honor companies, selected from throughout the country, which
have developed ways to lower the cost of providing quality healthcare through
their medical or information technologies, or innovative approaches to the
delivery of healthcare. The nine Finalists were selected by a Committee of
"Champions" and judges, composed of ABL Members who are C-level healthcare
executives with deep domain knowledge in each of the Award areas.

Mimi Grant, President of ABL, and creator of the Innovations Awards Event 16
years ago, commented: "All nine ABBY Award Finalists truly are exceptional. In
fact, this year - more than any other in recent memory - all 37 of the
Semi-Finalists were exceptionally impressive, as well. To have made it past the
nomination process (where a number of companies were eliminated) to the
Semi-Finals, ABBY Award nominees had to present metrics that proved that their
health IT or telecom solution, medical device, or approach to the delivery of
healthcare was addressing a major health issue, with an innovative solution,
that was approved for use in the U.S. market, and - most important - had
significant clinical and/or financial metrics that prove their product or
service is reducing the cost of providing quality care. Increasingly, it will be
innovative companies like these that will not only win ABBY Awards, but will be
big winners as the healthcare industry shifts from 'volume to value.'"

Three ABBY Award Winners will be chosen by secret ballot following live
presentations made by the chief executives of the nine Finalist organizations at
the Awards Event. The ABBY Award judges will be the senior healthcare executives
in attendance at the Event, held at the Long Beach Marriott, on October 21.
Attendance is open to all ABL Members, as well as non-Member senior executives
of healthcare providers, payers, health IT, medical technology, and services
firms.

LADHS has expanded the program in its network of hospitals and clinics. eConsult
provides primary care physicians (PCPs) with an easy-to-use care coordination
system that effectively triages access to specialty care. When PCPs send a
secure request for a specialist consult, eConsult's built-in decision support
and referral guidelines help ensure all of the necessary information is provided
- allowing for a more qualified peer-to-peer consultation.

San Francisco, CA's SpineZone has perfected a reliable, non-operative, and
comprehensive back pain management methodology that is administered by a
multidisciplinary team of surgeons, physical therapists, physician assistants,
and spine rehabilitation specialists. Patients are guided through their recovery
with a fixed-length, customized program that employs computerized equipment,
behavioral medicine, and highly trained practitioners to strengthen the isolated
muscles of the back, and improve posture and flexibility. Providers rely on
SpineZone because it uses the right healthcare resources at the right time,
essentially eliminating overtreatment and reducing the costs of treating chronic

improves user efficiency on many levels, both reducing treatment costs and
allowing clinicians to treat more patients.

Aliso Viejo, CA's CNS Response, Inc. serves the mental health industry with
their PEER (Psychiatric Encephalographic Evaluation Registry) Report, which was
developed by physicians to provide objective information about medication
response for similar patients. PEER combines a "crowdsourced" physician outcome
registry with EEG, an accepted, well-normed test of brain function. The PEER
Report provides the prescriber with adjunctive information which, based on the
outcomes of patients with similar EEG attributes, can help guide the selection
of medications which are most likely to work and those which should be avoided.
PEER provides the prescriber with objective, personalized information for the
patient and, therefore, the use of trial-and-error prescribing is reduced.

Mountain View, CA's drchrono's mobile EHR was voted the #1 iPad EHR three years
in a row by Black Book and is also available on clinicians' iPhones and Apple
Watches. Over 70,000 clinicians use drchrono, which addresses the needs of

serves companies' workers compensation needs with an immediately available
network of high-performing physicians covering the entire state of California.
Through Harbor's Care Concierge service, these physicians and patients are
connected to top providers of ancillary services. Harbor's OnTrack service
continually guides the injured worker's MPN participation throughout the case,
to be sure the care plan is always on track and moving towards a fast and
complete recovery. Harbor Health Systems' MPN clients experience cost savings of
up to 20% with Harbor's outcomes-based networks and its proprietary scoring
technology, as well as additional savings through reduced litigation and
increased productivity.

Cranbury, NJ's PeriGen Inc.'s PeriCALM Checklist is a real-time bedside IT
application designed to enhance clinician efficiency, consistency, and timely
recognition of impending problems in maternal labor. Its analytic software reads
the tracing used to monitor fetal heart rate and contractions, and its pattern
recognition component identifies and measures the features that clinicians use
to guide the use of oxytocin (which is used to induce contractions in over half
of U.S. births). PeriCALM notifies clinicians when the tracing analysis exceeds
predefined criteria established by the clinical institution, and color-coded
long-term displays let clinicians see trends at a glance. For labor and delivery
nurses, the PeriCALM Checklist reduces tedious repetitive calculations so they
can focus more time on clinical judgement and care.

L.A. Care eConnect Uses Safety Net Connect's Platform to Facilitate Electronic
Communication of Hospital Census Data for Care Coordination

Newport Beach CA, August 2015

L.A. Care eConnect Pilot Success Prompts Large-Scale Rollout to High-Volume
Hospitals and Provider Organizations across Los Angeles County to Improve Care
Coordination and Discharge Management

Safety Net Connect (SNC), a leading provider of innovative web-based healthcare
solutions for organizations assisting underserved populations, is pleased to
announce that its platform is used by L.A. Care Health Plan (L.A. Care) for
improved coordination of hospital census data between plan providers and
hospitals. The platform aims to improve patient care by connecting and getting
real-time data.

L.A. Care eConnect is based on SNC's proprietary eCEDA platform, which won a
competitive request for proposal (RFP) in 2014. A yearlong pilot was conducted
by L.A. Care to measure the platform's efficacy in facilitating the electronic
communication of daily census data between L.A. Care and select network
hospitals.

Based on successful pilot outcomes, SNC has been granted a three-year extendable
contract during which the L.A. Care eConnect program will gain participation
from high-volume L.A. County hospital organizations and high-volume Independent
Physician Associations (IPAs), Management Services Organizations (MSOs), and
Practice Partner Groups (PPGs). Through a custom-designed, secure online "census
portal," Provider Organizations access daily census reports for the purpose of
concurrent review and care coordination - especially post-discharge management
to improve care and reduce avoidable readmissions.

"With the experience of bringing up hospital connections in both Orange County,
California and the Chicago Metro area, we have seen the value of the early
communication evolve to become an integral first step of the overall care
coordination effort of the patient," says Keith Matsutsuyu, CEO of Safety Net
Connect.

"As part of our efforts to continually streamline the delivery of care for our
members, we're pleased to leverage technology like SNC's eConnect," says L.A.
Care CEO John Baackes. "The platform's ability to provide our medical management
nurses with complete and timely information, while conveniently facilitating
concurrent data review between disparate locations, has translated to better
care coordination as well as lower administrative costs."

Los Angeles County Sees Success with eConsult Program

May 2015

Online tools enable primary care physicians, specialists to communicate more
seamlessly

By Katie Dvorak

As it becomes more difficult to book appointments with specialists, doctors in
the U.S. are turning to the Web to help speed the process for patients.

In Los Angeles County, local officials created a program called eConsult to
streamline the referral process. The program, in use at L.A. Care Health Plan,
allows for interaction online between physicians and specialists to exchange
medical records and images, according to a Kaiser Health News report.

The program was implemented three years ago, and while it hasn't solved all
problems, things have improved because of it, according to KHN.

Through the program, clinicians use guidelines to find out who needs immediate
face-to-face appointments with specialists. Those who can wait continue to
receive care from their primary care physician through electronic means.

Some issues remain, however, such as patients still requiring face-to-face
appointments with specialists and the dearth of ones available to see.

The effort did show that about 30 percent of patients did not need to see a
specialist in person, and it now offers physicians a way to communicate with
specialists more easily, according to the article. What's more, the program has
shown promise to be a model throughout the U.S., with leaders in Illinois,
Alaska and Connecticut showing interested in it, L.A. County Specialty Care
Director Paul Giboney, M.D., tells KHN.

Similarly, researchers in Canada also saw success with their own regional
Web-based e-consultation service called Champlain BASE (Building Access to
Specialists through e-consultation).

In addition, an electronic system installed at Tacoma, Washington-based
Franciscan Health System allows employees there to undergo routine medical
consultations from the privacy of their own homes.

California Healthline Discusses Benefits, Challenges of eConsult

Los Angeles CA, May 2015

L.A. E-Referral System Could Be a Model for Improving Access to Care

A Los Angeles County electronic referral system could help to improve access to
care amid a shortage of specialists in California and accross the country. Some
providers have expressed concern that primary care physicians who use the system
are not paid for extra services a specialist might request. Still, Paul Giboney,
Los Angeles County's specialty care director, said the eConsult program still
could become a national model.

Los Angeles Daily News on eConsult Program

Los Angeles CA, May 2015

With Specialists in Short Supply, L.A. County Turns to e-Consulting

Doctors called it the black hole.

If their low-income or uninsured patients needed specialty care, they put in a
referral to the massive Los Angeles County health care bureaucracy and then
waited - for weeks or even months. It could take eight months to see a
neurologist, more than three to see a cardiologist.

With a million patients a year depending on Los Angeles County for health care,
local officials decided they had to act. Hiring scores of costly specialists
wasn't an option. So in 2012 they created a program called eConsult, modeled
after a system at San Francisco General Hospital, to streamline the referral
process.

provides real-time access to physician specialists through the use of televideo
services.

"Specialty providers are in short supply and high demand," said Chris
Cruttenden, president of NetChemistry. "Pairing eConsult - our web-based
consultation and care-coordination system with TeleMed2U's multi-specialty group
of telehealth-trained physicians will advance the delivery of quality specialty
care to underserved and rural populations. We are very excited about this
collaboration."

The eConsult system provides PCPs an easy-to-use, web-based care coordination
system that effectively triages access to specialty care. TeleMed2U's
multi-specialty medical group provides specialty care to patients using
real-time audio-video teleconferencing, enabling patients in rural areas to
receive specialty care without the need for travel.

This unique partnership expands the capabilities and definition of telehealth -
providing faster access to specialty care, while allowing patients to receive
that care in their primary care office - or medical home. Using eConsult's
secure platform, PCPs can contact TeleMed2U's team of specialists for an
electronic peer-to-peer consultation to develop a care plan specific to the
needs of the patient. And if a specialty appointment is deemed necessary, the
patient can receive a real-time video consultation with a TeleMed2U specialist
physician right from their primary care office.

"eConsult is an important tool in the field of telehealth," said Javeed
Siddiqui, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer of TeleMed2U. "Our partnership with
NetChemistry strengthens our mission of providing excellent specialty care to
large numbers of patients regardless of socioeconomic status or location."

The partnership will benefit NetChemistry, TeleMed2U and their clients by
broadening the scope of their offerings. TeleMed2U will provide NetChemistry's
clients with a wider group of specialty physicians and teleconferencing
capabilities. Likewise, NetChemistry's eConsult system will offer TeleMed2U a
proven infrastructure for referral guidelines, decision support algorithms,
health information and document attachments, and workflow management.

NetChemistry's eConsult System Selected by New England eConsult Network to
Expand Timely Access to Specialty Care for Underserved

Newport Beach CA, February 2015

eConsult system improves health equity - increasing access to specialty care for
rural and underinsured, while keeping up to 69% of patients in their medical
home

Safety Net Connect (SNC), a leading provider of innovative web-based healthcare
solutions for organizations assisting underserved populations, announced that it
has been selected by Community Health Center, Inc. (CHC) and Weitzman Institute
(WI) as the eConsult provider for the New England eConsult Network (NEECN).

After an extensive national review and selection process, SNC's eConsult has
been chosen as the premier telehealth system to power the newly launched NEECN,
which will serve to integrate specialty care into the primary care setting along
the East Coast in partnership with the University of Connecticut Health Center
(UCHC) and Penobscot Community Health Care of Maine.

An initial WI pilot of SNC's eConsult demonstrated 69% of cases being resolved
in the primary care office without the need for a face-to-face specialty visit.
This is an especially important outcome for NEECN as it strives to provide
cost-effective, quality care for underinsured and underserved patients, many of
whom live in rural areas with limited access to specialty care and long wait
times for appointments.

SNC's eConsult will enable NEECN primary care physicians to consult with
specialists across New England via a web-based interface at their convenience.
With a secure, structured exchange of information and peer-to-peer discussion of
patient needs, SNC's eConsult will facilitate the delivery of specialty care
within NEECN primary care offices. In addition, eConsult will allow for faster,
more qualified specialty referrals for the patients who need them.

"This collaboration validates the important role of eConsultation in the care
continuum of telehealth services," said Chris Cruttenden, President of SNC. "We
are excited to play a part in the transformation of specialty care delivery
within this pioneering group of mission-driven New England-based healthcare
organizations."

"Our evaluation and pilot of several eConsult offerings allowed us to closely
examine which system would best fit for our population's needs," said Daren
Anderson, MD, Director of WI and VP/Chief Quality Officer of CHC. "Safety Net
Connect's eConsult was the clear choice. We are delighted to embark on this
journey together, as we strive to bring high quality specialty care to
underserved patients within their medical homes."

Partnership HealthPlan of California Selects NetChemistry's eConsult System to
Bring Specialty Care to Rural Residents

Newport Beach CA, February 2015

Addressing Health Inequity for Underserved Californians by Integrating Specialty
Care into their Medical Homes

NetChemistry, a leading provider of innovative web-based healthcare solutions
for organizations assisting underserved populations, announced that it will
collaborate with Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC) to implement a
six-month pilot of NetChemistry's eConsult system. The pilot will operate within
federally qualified health centers across three upper northern California
counties that serve a large Medicaid population with inadequate access to
specialty care.

The eConsult pilot will enable select PHC-affiliated primary care physicians to
consult with specialists in four distinct specialty fields. With a secure,
structured exchange of information and peer-to-peer discussion of patient needs,
NetChemistry's eConsult will facilitate the delivery of specialty care within
the primary care office, providing timely services for members who may live
hundreds of miles from a specialist.

"We are excited to be an integral part of PHC's initiative to expand specialty
care access," said Chris Cruttenden, president of NetChemistry. "Our eConsult
technology will provide an avenue for high quality specialty care to reach PHC's
low-income, underinsured, and rural residents who are at an unfortunate
disadvantage when it comes to specialty care access. We believe this partnership
will have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of many northern
California residents."

The PHC/NetChemistry partnership was inspired by Los Angeles Department of
Health Services' pilot of the NetChemistry eConsult system and its landmark
18-month outcomes - where 46% of eConsults were resolved in the primary care
office, without the need for a face-to-face specialty appointment; and average
wait times for specialty appointments decreased by 60%.

"PHC is a huge champion of innovative solutions for the advancement of
patient-centered care," said Dr. Robert Moore, the Chief Medical Officer for
PHC. "The NetChemistry eConsult system stands out in the expanding field of
telehealth as a groundbreaking method for making specialty care readily
available to underserved, rural populations. We are pleased to be working with
an expert team steeped in real-world experience for serving the needs of
organizations such as ours."

Primary Care Providers Finding New Ways To Connect Patients With Specialists

October 2014

Bill Hunter, medical director for the centers, spoke as part of a panel
discussion on specialty care access at a conference of the California Primary
Care Association in Sacramento.

"The original idea of Project ECHO was to distribute specialist information to
far-flung areas in New Mexico. Now it's all over the country," Hunter said.

Panelist Paul Giboney had another story. He is director of specialty care for
the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. He said his service area
is huge, with hundreds of underserved clinics spread out across 4,700 square
miles of the county. His department set up workgroups to bring primary care
providers and specialists together to work out expected practices, and set up
patient-centered scheduling for specialist appointments, to cut down on no-show
rates.

But the biggest change, Giboney said, was eConsult.

The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services and Safety Net Connect
Agree to County-Wide Expansion of eConsult System Contract

Los Angeles CA, November 2013

More Efficient Specialist Consult System Reduces Unnecessary Referrals, Reduces
Wait Times and Lowers Administrative Costs

Safety Net Connect, a provider of web-based healthcare solutions aiding the
underserved and safety net populations, has signed anew County-wide contract
with the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS), which will
expand the use of Safety Net Connect's innovative eConsult system by primary
care providers and specialists throughout the DHS system.

The eConsult system facilitates electronic consultations between primary care
providers and specialists, which offers vulnerable people better, more efficient
access to specialized care. The system enables providers to discuss relevant
details of patients' medical history prior to scheduling appointments, thereby
reducing unnecessary referrals, limiting wait times and lowering administrative
costs. In many cases, the increased communication between physicians results in
patients receiving more immediate, specialist-guided care from their primary
care physician, eliminating the need for a specialist appointment altogether.

Electronic Consultations Break Down Barriers for Medicaid Patients in L.A.
County

By Paul Karon

Although the Medicaid program helps millions of low-income families and children
get essential health care, patients with the government-sponsored coverage still
face significant barriers when it comes to seeing doctors in the medical
specialties.

But in an era when so much of everyday life takes place in the virtual realm of
computers and digital communications, an evaluation study supported by the
Southern California Clinical and Translational Science Institute (SC CTSI)
showed how the same technologies can give Medicaid patients better access to
medical specialists, with less hassle forthe patients and lower cost for the
providers.

Called eConsult, for electronic consulting, the study used a combination of
computer and digital communications tools to enable primary care providers to
consult with specialist physicians when in-person meetings are difficult to
schedule or, perhaps, unnecessary.

A cross-institutional team from USC, L.A. Care Health Plan, SynerMed and
Partners in Care Foundation showed how an electronic consulting system provided
Medicaid patients greater access to specialists like dermatologists,
endocrinologists and nephrologists.

DHS Specialty Care NEWS - eConsult turns One Year old!

August 2013

eConsult celebrated its first anniversary in July and it has come a long way
from that first month when it started with 2 specialties and 4 clinics. With the
addition of new Specialty Services like Endocrinology, Diabetes and (going live
on September 3rd) Hepatology and Echocardiograms, eConsult now offers 14
specialty services.

By the numbers:

 * 14 Specialty Services (Cardiology, Dermatology, Diabetes, Echocardiograms,
   Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, Hepatology, Nephrology,
   Neurology, Obstetrics, Ophthalmology, Podiatry, Urology)
 * 100 DHS Specialty Reviewers
 * 2.3 days = Average Specialty Reviewer response time
 * 120 sites (40 DHS and 80 Community Partner)
 * 1,200+ Primary Care Providers using eConsult System

To highlight our emphasis on customer care and delivering responsive and
appropriate specialty services, we have renamed the Central Referral Unit (CRU)
as the DHS Appointment Service Center (DHS ASC). Our focus on Patient Centered
Specialty Scheduling will remain the same as always.

The DHS ASC has been busy! They have now successfully scheduled almost 13,000
patients. A recent assessment of the patients scheduled showed an average No
Show rate of only 15%! This is considerably less than the No Show rate of 25-40%
in patients scheduled via other means.

LA Times - Health on eConsult: Healthcare crisis: not enough specialists for the

December 2012

The county is trying to make the system more efficient, reduce wait times and

said Mitch Katz, head of the L.A. County Department of Health Services. County
officials risk losing newly insured patients, along with government funding, if
they can't find ways to reduce the bottleneck.

One focus is using technology to improve communication and better screen
patients. A pilot program, for example, is allowing primary care doctors at
community and public clinics to quickly transmit patients' medical information
via computer to a public health specialist for a consultation.

The electronic consults are streamlining referrals and helping clinic doctors

CHOC Health Alliance Launches NetChemistry's eConsult Solution

February 2012

CHOC Health Alliance is pleased to announce a partnership with software
development company NetChemistry to bring their eConsult solution to Pediatrics.
eConsult will revolutionize the way physicians communicate about patient care
and ultimately reduce the need for specialty visits for underserved populations.

Through NetChemistry's eConsult solution, primary care physicians (PCPs) will be
able to electronically connect with specialists and sub-specialists for guidance
and consultations. PCPs are frequently forced to make specialty referrals for
issues that they could likely manage at the office if they had the input of a
specialist. Fortunately, eConsult will allow PCPs to engage in an electronic
consultation with a variety of appropriate specialists who are seeking an easier
way to broaden access to their services.

PCPs will be able to log onto a user-friendly, HIPAA-compliant, web-based
eConsult solution that allows them to share patient information and receive a
timely response through secure messaging from any number of specialists.
eConsult is an innovative, simple way to reduce healthcare costs while providing
critically needed access.

MHN Connect User Testimonials

January 2012

Care Coordinator, Pediatrics care team:

I have been using the MHNConnect Web Portal for two weeks. It is a very useful
tool that connects us to patients allowing us to ensure that patients have a
follow up visit in a timely manner. Overall patients are happy, grateful and
somewhat surprised that we actually contacted them first rather then them having
to call us.

I remember one instance that sticks out in my mind. I called a mom to set up an
appointment; she told me she had tried calling several times but for some reason
or another could not get through to set up appointment herself. She sounded so
grateful and surprised that we even knew that her child had been in the ER. I
went on to explain a bit about the MHN Connect Platform. I am not sure how much
she understood me but she was happy we had contacted her and an appointment was
scheduled and completed.

Care Coordinator, care team:

The portal has become very successful to both the providers and their patients.
It allows the providers to become aware and updated on anything occurring with
the health of their patients, as well as helping the patients avoid any future
visits or admission to the hospital. We had just started working in the portal
and were making great progress by contacting patients to connect with their PCP
for their follow-up. We have received many compliments from patients because
some of them were unaware that they were supposed to follow up with their PCP's.
Some assumed that everything had been resolved in the hospital.

The story that stands out the most was one that touched the heart of me and the
patient's provider. Our patient, a baby, with a complicated history, had been
admitted in the hospital and sadly passed away. While I was reviewing the portal
I noticed that the patient had an appointment for a check up the following day
(the appointment had been made about 2 weeks prior to being admitted). I
immediately contacted the PCP to see if she had been informed of the child's
death. She was in shock in receiving the news, since she wasn't contacted by the
hospital. She thanked me for notifying her because she would have called the
patient's parents blindly to find out why they had missed their appointment.
Instances like this help our PCP's and patient's stay connected.

MHN Connect User Testimonials

January 2012

Care Coordinator:

The Medical Home Network is an incredibly pro-active tool that enables us as a
clinic to reach out to our patients in a way that would otherwise not be
possible when they are battling sickness or trying to recover. In the three
weeks I have been using the MHN portal, I have scheduled many follow-up
appointments for patients who have recently been discharged from the hospital
but there is one story in particular that remains with me.

Through the MHN portal, I received notice that a young adult patient had
recently been discharged from the ER. I was able to speak with the patient's
mother who stated that the patient had been transferred over to another hospital
that could better assist her and was actually still there. She immediately asked
how I knew that her daughter was in the hospital and I explained the MHN portal
to her. Aside from being surprised by this new technology, she expressed great
interest in scheduling her daughter for an appointment and voiced sincere
gratitude that we called to do this. She shared a bit of her daughter's story
with me and I could hear the weariness in her voice. In this moment, I realized
the supportive nature of the Medical Home Network; it enables us as a clinic to
actively love our patients and their families by reaching out to them in their
time of need by relieving a small part of their burden through establishing
care.

NetChemistry and Medical Home Network will link Hospitals, Clinics and Doctors
Serving Medicaid Patients

June 2011

In an unprecedented effort to improve medical care on the Southwest Side, the
Cook County Health and Hospitals System, five private hospitals, and dozens of
clinics and physician practices have agreed to cooperate in bolstering basic
care for Medicaid patients.

Their venture, known as the Medical Home Network, utilizes NetChemistry's
Connect Platform and represents one of the most ambitious attempts in the U.S.
to restructure the way care is delivered to vulnerable families covered by
Medicaid, the government's health program for the poor.

It's set to launch this summer and initially cover more than 162,400 residents
on the Southwest Side - one of Chicago's areas of greatest medical need, with
deep pockets of poverty and a dearth of many crucial health care services.

The state is watching the venture closely. "We will do everything we can to
assist this project," said Julie Hamos, director of the Illinois Department of
Healthcare and Family Services, noting Illinois' commitment to introducing more
coordination of care into its 2.9 million-member Medicaid program.

Medical Home Network has started by establishing working relationships among
dozens of medical providers that had a previous track record of competition, not
cooperation. Hospital partners include Cook County's Stroger, Provident and Oak
Forest hospitals, Rush University Medical Center, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, Holy
Cross Hospital, Saint Anthony Hospital and La Rabida Children's Hospital.

MSI Connect Platform recognized for being one of this year's 15 winning
government agencies in IT innovation

September 2010

Orange County Health Care Agency was presented with an award during the
InformationWeek 500 annual conference at the St. Regis in Monarch Beach. The
award honored OCHCA's MSI Connect Platform for being one of this year's 15
winning government agencies in IT innovation.

The Orange County Health Care Agency has designed and deployed an electronic
health record system for people enrolled in the Medical Services Initiative, a
healthcare program for about 45,000 of the county's indigent adults. The system
links pharmacies, lab and diagnostic centers, hospital emergency rooms,
community clinics, and primary care physicians.

The project required development of a Web-based health record system, MSI
Connect, to capture data such as emergency room admissions and discharges,
diagnosis and procedure codes, prescriptions, and specialty referrals. Since
deploying the system last year, the county has studied its effects and has found
improved quality of care for patients. The ability to refer patients
electronically from the emergency department to their primary care physicians
led to a 52% decrease in the likelihood of a related return visit to the ER,
resulting in estimated annual savings of $636,000.

Services Initiative (MSI) Health Care program.

An integral part of MSI's success has to do with NetChemistry's MSI Connect
platform featuring the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Model.

The system allows PCMHs to manage their assigned patients and includes each
patient's prescription history from over 500 Orange County pharmacies, claims
history, status of specialty authorizations, and admission and discharge
diagnosis from all hospitals within the county. It also provides the ability of
any ER physician to electronically refer the patient back to the clinic or PCP
PCMH-leading to improved continuity of care and the reduction of ER visits.

 * Screen, Alert and Enroll:
   The Bridges Connect system will rely on eCeda to identify and provide
   "potential patient" Alerts to the Bridges Hospital Workers.
 * Store and manage all information:
   Once a referral is completed, the information is stored in a secure database.
   This allows the Bridges Connect system to automatically fill in other desired
   forms that may be required for additional programs and services.
 * Paperless Processing:
   Referrals can be assigned according to workload. Once an application has been
   assigned, a supervisor can monitor individual workloads and referrals in
   progress. Bridges staff can view an enrollee's referral and obtain a detailed
   view of the verification work list. This enables one or multiple workers to
   keep track of a referrals progress.
 * Agency linkage:
   The Bridges Connect system supports agency linkage to providers within the
   Bridges Network by electronically connecting referrals to providers.

NetChemistry's solutions featured in Medical Care Research and Review - Impact
of Patient-Centered Medical Home Assignment on ER Visits

June 2010

The Medical Services Initiative program-a safety net-based system of care- in
Orange County included assignment of uninsured, low-income residents to a
patient-centered medical home. The medical home provided case management, a
team-based approach for treating disease, and increased access to primary and
specialty care among other elements of a patient-centered medical home.
Providers were paid an enhanced fee and pay-for-performance incentives to ensure
delivery of comprehensive treatment. Medical Services Initiative enrollees who
were assigned to a medical home for longer time periods were less likely to have
any emergency room (ER) visits or multiple ER visits. Switching medical homes
three or more times was associated with enrollees being more likely to have any
ER visits or multiple ER visits. The findings provide evidence that successful
implementation of the patient-centered medical home model in a county-based
safety net system is possible and can reduce unnecessary ER use.

Coordination of care is facilitated through the ER Connect information system,
which links the 23 contracted hospital emergency rooms (ERs) with the 14
contracted community clinics. This system enables emergency physicians to view
comprehensive patient medical histories (e.g., pharmacy, lab, claims data, and
physician notes) and to electronically refer patients with nonemergent
conditions back to their personal physician at the clinic medical homes. MSI
also uses Clinic Connect, a web-based application that enables community clinics
to receive referrals from ERs. This allows clinic providers to access critical
patient information, including ER physicians' recommended treatment plans,
claims history, and physician notes. It also notifies the medical home that the
patient had an ER visit, so that the physician can follow-up with the patient
and the specialists and ER providers that their patient may have seen during the
emergent episode.

Study of nearly 1,000 patients using NetChemistry's Solutions

 * 52% reduction of future E.D. visits
 * 13% increased likelihood of Medical Home visits
 * Estimated Cost savings $199.03 per patient
