The Commonwealth of Kentucky connected two state-wide technology systems to enable information flow bidirectionally to help citizens of the Commonwealth overcome social barriers impeding their health. This presentation will discuss the deployment of a resource engine utilized to help citizens gain access to needed social services, the use of a state-based health information exchange to aid healthcare delivery, and how a technology connection between the two allows data to flow bidirectionally. Case studies will showcase the opportunities for utilization, statistics on current usage and advances made in helping serve Kentucky citizens.
