WISHIN 2.0 Is Here!

The new system is in operation. It is being made available to WISHIN customers in a staged rollout. We know you have questions. Here's one:

Q: Does my organization need to make any technical changes to support WISHIN 2.0?


A: Only if you are using single sign-on. You will need to transition that to the new system. A WISHIN implementation team member will assist you. There is no impact to your technical interfaces and their connections.

WISHIN Is A Trailblazer Among HIEs

WISHIN was among the first HIEs in the country to earn Data Aggregator Validation status from the National Committee for Quality Assurance. The NCQA validation means that health plans can use data from the WISHIN system in their HEDIS® process, instead of accessing the data from individual providers. WISHIN has secured DAV status through November 2027, adding new organizations and dozens of newly certified ingestion sites. Click the button below for the latest information including the updated list of DAV certified sites.


 

In other NCQA DAV news, WISHIN's Director of Population Health and Analytics, Matt Gigot, was one of the featured guests on an NCQA DAV webinar hosted by J2 Interactive and Civitas Networks for Health®

 
 

DHS Extends the 1.5% FFS Withhold Through 2026

 ELIGIBLE HOSPITALS: You can reach out to join the WISHIN network and claw back the 2026 1.5% fee-for-service (FFS) inpatient and outpatient claims withhold. Hospitals earning a "live" status in three interfaces will claw back the withheld funds AND earn an incentive payment from a pool of money derived from withheld funds.
