Our Value

What is Connie?
Connie is the designated Health Information Exchange (HIE) of Connecticut. As an HIE, Connie facilitates the secure and confidential exchange of health information among healthcare organizations such as doctors' offices, hospitals, labs, and radiology centers, ensuring seamless coordination of care.
Established in 2019 and governed by an appointed Board of Directors, Connie plays a vital role in supporting the exchange of health data throughout the state of Connecticut. Connie is an independent, nonprofit organization designed to be neutral, and trusted by all stakeholders.
Authorized by state statute, our primary purpose is to promote interoperability that enhances the quality, safety, and value of healthcare delivery for organizations, providers, and residents across Connecticut.
How Connie Can Help
Connie is revolutionizing healthcare information delivery for providers, enabling enhanced decision-making capabilities that can lead to better patient care. With authorized access, Connie users can view vital health data in critical emergency situations where you may be unable to provide your medical history. Authorized healthcare providers can access Connie to note allergies or medical conditions that could impact your treatment.
Furthermore, Connie makes it possible for connected providers to know when you’ve been admitted to the hospital. Connie also contributes to reducing healthcare costs by enabling your providers to quickly retrieve previous test results and lab reports, preventing redundant tests, and optimizing resource utilization. By fostering seamless information exchange, Connie empowers healthcare providers to deliver personalized, well-informed care.
