A History of Trusted Data and Partnership

What We Do
Virginia Health Information (VHI) is a nonprofit organization contracted by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) to maintain statewide health data collection and exchange programs, including those that are part of the state-designated Health Information Exchange (HIE).
VHI’s specialized focus on the needs of the Commonwealth and longstanding partnerships with Virginia’s healthcare agencies mean we are uniquely positioned to successfully carry out this role as a designated health data administrator.
VHI’s Framework
VHI is contracted to maintain many of Virginia’s major statewide administrative health data programs, including the All-Payer Claims Database, the Hospital Discharge Data system, annual, facility-level Licensure and Utilization Data and Financial Performance Data. These datasets offer users a comprehensive and necessary view of cost, access, quality and utilization to make informed decisions that positively impact care for Virginians.
VHI also operates as Virginia’s designated statewide HIE, facilitating interoperability via several health information technology products and service offerings, including the Emergency Department Care Coordination program, the Public Health Reporting Pathway, the Advance Care Planning Registry, and secure national exchange data retrieval.
Additionally, VHI supports transparency by converting complex data into a variety of interactive, public-facing reports and dashboards that highlight key patterns in care cost, quality and access.
