Manifest MedEx 2023 Annual Report
Manifest MedEx was formed just seven years ago as a nonprofit health data network with the mission to provide every healthcare organization in California with the information they need to improve care, enhance health, and lower costs.
Thanks to our partnership with our network participants, regional and state public health agencies, and local community stakeholders, today Manifest MedEx is a crucial part of the state’s health data infrastructure, securely bringing permitted, critical health data to participants across every county to improve care, advance health equity, and support CalAIM and public health priorities to help those most in need.
We are pleased to share with you Manifest MedEx’s 2023 Annual Report to bring greater transparency to our strategic priorities, key achievements, the volume and quality of health data exchange that MX enables, and the impact our partnerships make in and across CA communities.
As you’ll see in the inaugural report, Manifest MedEx grew significantly in 2023, with double digit growth in 56 out of 58 counties in California and by 8.5% across the entire network. In the last year alone, more than 240 organizations joined MX. We delivered an average of 1.6 million hospital admission, discharge, and transfer notifications and almost 6 million CCDAs per month — providing robust real-time information to coordinate care and improve outcomes. We invested in ways to bring higher quality and more meaningful data to our participants and individuals — all while doing our part to protect the privacy and security of Californians' sensitive health data.
MX has also been working closely with the state to support Medi-Cal transformation programs, pilot new consent management initiatives, and help hundreds of organizations successfully participate in the CalHHS Data Exchange Framework.
As health data exchange continues to evolve, we remain steadfast in our commitment to building the digital health data safety net needed to support our participants, those outside our network, and California more broadly.
Thank you for being part of this vision and our journey to achieve it. Your partnership, trust, and confidence in us are our driving force.
Save the Date: MX Webinar on DxF
The California Health and Human Services Agency's Data Exchange Framework (DxF) has marked a pivotal moment, with over 3,000 signatories of the Data Sharing Agreement (DSA). The DxF is critical to the state’s healthcare transformation efforts to expand coverage, advance equity, and foster stronger connections for coordination between health and social service entities.
Policymaking is hard; implementation is even harder. As we pass the half year mark since the January 31, 2024 data sharing deadline, what can we learn from implementation efforts leading up to and immediately after the deadline? What’s working? What’s not? Where are the opportunities, and what will implementation look like moving forward?
Register here and join us for a candid, open dialogue with experts from the front lines of implementing the DxF as we reflect on the DxF’s purpose, progress, implementation pain points, opportunities, and how we will collectively shape the trajectory of health and human services information exchange in California.
California's Immunization Registry (CAIR) Integration into MX
Manifest MedEx is pleased to announce that we are now live with an adolescent (California residents aged 20 years old or younger) immunization feed from the California Immunization Registry (CAIR). Providing access to consistent adolescent immunization information is important to physicians, clinicians, and care managers. Physicians and clinicians utilize this information to ensure that their young patients are up to date with immunizations, keeping them healthy, and to prevent serious, and sometimes deadly, diseases. Adolescent immunization information is important to enabling care managers to optimize the management populations. Care managers often use this information to identify at-risk populations that may have lower rates of immunization and tailor outreach to promote immunization that is linguistically and culturally appropriate.
Manifest MedEx now has immunization data for 7.6 million individual adolescents. Participants of the Manifest MedEx health information network have access to this information via MX Access and the MX Longitudinal Patient Summary CCDA service. California health organizations may also access this valuable immunization information by participating in California's Data Exchange Framework.
