The PelEX Member Event is an annual virtual conference where we gather leaders, faculty, and staff from our PelEX Health Information Exchange connected network and community partners. This 2-hour program features updates from the executive director, a member panel, new product developments, peer learning activities, and networking opportunities.
Who should attend?
This year’s theme is “People in Process,” highlighting the people who drive critical workflows and leverage technology. Attendees will learn from other PelEX participants about how they develop and apply workflows to improve efficiency and care delivery.
Guest Speakers
People are the core element in driving processes and using technology. PelEX’s mission is to provide actionable products to people who are engaged and willing to incorporate them into their workflows to find ways to align efforts and improve efficiency. PelEX is focused on engaging people to better understand how our products can meet immediate needs and directly support their process development.
At our member event, participants will be hearing from the people in process at two PelEX member organizations.
This presentation explores how weekly Hospital Utilization Reports can be used as a powerful tool to enhance care coordination within a mental health agency. By tracking emergency room visits and hospital admissions, agencies can promptly alert providers and prescribers when their patients experience acute care episodes. This proactive approach fosters timely outreach, keeps patients engaged with their primary agency contacts, and facilitates critical referrals to external physicians, specialists, and support services. The result is a more comprehensive, responsive care system that addresses both mental and physical health needs—improving outcomes and reducing hospital recidivism.

This session will describe the technical, operational, and resource barriers one FQHC encountered trying to successfully implement a universal screening initiative to identify and report on patients’ non-medical needs in accordance with state-level Medicaid Managed Care Organizations’ requirements. Strategies to overcome these challenges and preliminary findings will be shared.
Participants will resonate with common barriers and challenges, and leave with ideas to improve workflows. The presenters also hope that this session will highlight the complexities associated with universal screening and reporting for patients’ non-medical needs across multiple Medicaid MCOs and influence solutions to streamline and simplify the process for engaged community partners.
