We’re looking forward to attending the Alaska Behavioral Health Association Spring Members’ and Affiliates’ Conference next week, March 3 to 4.

This gathering is always a meaningful opportunity to connect with partners across the state who are doing critical work in behavioral health. We are especially looking forward to the conversations. We want to hear about your experiences, challenges, and ideas, and explore how we can better support that work together.

Stop by our booth to connect with team members Mary Eckart, Clinical Engagement Specialist, and Chris Sturm, Healthcare Engagement Specialist. Learn more about healthEconnect Alaska's services, explore opportunities for joining the network, and pick up some fun swag!

We are also pleased to host a discussion-based session: “Asking Behavioral Health Providers: What are Your Data Sharing Concerns, Challenges and Success Stories.”

We hope you will join the conversation, and we hope to see you there!

Health Information Exchange in action:

Alaina’s story is a fictional example inspired by real situations experienced by care teams across Alaska. It illustrates how Health Information Exchange supports access to timely patient information, reducing time spent tracking down records and supporting more coordinated care.

The story is fictional. The impact is real.

We’re kicking off our first Team Spotlight by introducing our newest team member, Chris Sturm, Healthcare Engagement Specialist, who has been with us for just over two months.

Chris works closely with our engagement team to onboard hospitals and medical practices with a strong focus on bringing Behavioral Health organizations and programs into the HIE. His role centers on building partnerships and awareness of HIE tools.

What’s stood out most so far is the team’s collaborative spirit. Chris adds, "I love the integrity that everyone shows about sharing health data - it's unquestionable that we are stewards.”

Before joining healthEconnect Alaska, Chris worked as a clinician supporting individuals with complex behaviors. That experience drives his excitement for this work. "One of the biggest challenges was getting additional relevant records of the clients. The amount of follow-up and the time to get records sometimes delayed delivery of the most needed service. I am extremely excited about helping bridge this gap for behavioral health providers."

He’s especially inspired by the HIE’s ability to close care gaps statewide. “If someone is injured on the Kenai and their records from Juneau are available, they’ll receive better and more comprehensive care.”

When he needs to reset, Chris turns to Alaska’s mountains. "They contain so much beauty and are one thing that makes this state great. They're also a reminder of our place in the world."

We’re glad to have you on the team, Chris!

It was a pleasure to participate in last week’s Rural Health Transformation Program Convening hosted by the Alaska Department of Health.

We appreciated the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with partners from across the state about advancing Alaska’s healthcare system. The convening emphasized keeping patients at the center of care, strengthening the workforce, and modernizing care delivery across communities, which aligns closely with our mission to support collaboration and better health information exchange.

We’re grateful to be part of these discussions and look forward to continuing our work with partners statewide to improve access, coordination, and outcomes for Alaskans.

Have you ever come across something new in the HIE Portal?

We publish release notes when updates are made to our Portal, from subtle visual changes to new functionality, so participants can understand what has changed or been improved.

Release notes, along with other helpful materials, are available in our online Resource Library. While we will continue to share direct communication and additional resources for larger updates, release notes are a useful way to stay informed about smaller changes you may notice along the way.

About Us

Our History

Established in 2009, healtheConnect Alaska began its mission as Alaska eHealth Network. Like many health information exchanges across the country, ambitious strategies were put in place to develop a robust, two-way exchange of complete patient records.

Big changes don’t happen overnight, technology doesn’t always work the way it’s supposed to, and the healthcare market has been fraught with volatility. Alaska eHealth Network made some progress. And also came up against barriers and challenges.
