Through Central PA Connect HIE, a patient’s important health-care information can be made available, in a secure manner, to your physicians and care team members in a matter of seconds. Whether it’s an emergency situation, a routine doctor’s visit, or a planned procedure, Central PA Connect services allow you to arrive for your appointment knowing that your care team already has the critical information needed from your past medical records. This allows for more time focused on addressing your current concerns and less time for you to review all of your medical history with your provider.

With you and your information in the center, Central PA Connect HIE facilitates the exchange of that information between all of your care team members. This means that you will have to fill out fewer forms and you will spend less time repeating information or needing to remember to bring your records along to your health-care visits.
As a patient, you may opt out of sharing your information via Central PA Connect HIE. To opt out, or to opt back into the exchange, you can contact our privacy department at 215-573-4492 or privacy@uphs.upenn.edu.
Opting out of Central PA Connect HIE does not automatically opt you out from data exchange across the Pennsylvania Patient & Provider Network (P3N). The P3N maintains its own opt out process. If you wish to opt out of the P3N data exchange please refer to the P3N website for instructions.
