HEALTHeLINK Fusion Updates & Enhancements

Printing and Downloading Results

We’re pleased to share that enhancements to printing and downloading individual results in Fusion are now live. Users can once again print or download single results—or select and export multiple results at once—supporting the workflows many of you rely on every day. Thank you for your patience as we completed these improvements.

To support you through these updates, our Account Managers are offering:

A step‑by‑step training guide outlining the updated functionality Download the guide here: Training Guide
Live training webinars where you can view the process and ask questions. View and Register here: Training Webinars

If you have questions about printing or downloading results, please contact your Account Manager or email accountmanagers2@wnyhealthelink.com.

Historical Data Loading

Our team has begun loading historical data from multiple data sources into Fusion. As each source completes its loading, the data will become available in the User Interface. You will receive both an email and a portal message when each source is ready for use.

To help you stay informed, updates will also be posted on:

• The Data Suppliers page on the HEALTHeLINK website

• The Fusion landing page

If you have any questions regarding historical data, please reach out to our Business Development team at businessdevelopment@wnyhealthelink.com.

EMR Push Functionality

We are pleased to share that you can now push HEALTHeLINK results directly into your EMR.

We’ve scheduled training webinars and during these sessions we’ll guide you through the full workflow on the new platform. You can access the links to register for these webinars here: Training Webinars.
