Your EMR Your Data How PACE Programs can gain control over their own data.

In PACE, control over your data isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s non-negotiable. The care model relies on deep coordination across teams and partners, which means you need the ability to access and share your own data and information. If your EMR decides what you can see or who you can share it with, your hands—and your care—are tied. 

That’s CareHub EMR is designed to put you in control. Built with modern, standards-based architecture, and an EMR certified by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC), CareHub gives you access to your data so you can use it how you need, when you need, and with whom you choose. 

When your EMR data is locked away, your hands are tied 

Closed systems don’t just create inconvenience; they create unnecessary dependence. When you can’t easily access, extract, or share your data in your own EMR database, it can lead to:  

  • Delays onboarding innovative new partners or vendors 
  • Limited visibility into performance, trends, or participant outcomes 
  • Reporting that takes hours instead of minutes 

In a care model as complex and coordinated as PACE, that lack of agility comes at a cost.  

What ONC certification means for you 

CareHub includes an ONC-certified EMR that meets national standards for health IT safety, usability, and interoperability— giving you the same baseline capabilities as big-box systems like Epic, Athena, and Cerner (without the complexity or cost). 

ONC-certification ensures you’re working with an EMR that: 

  • Supports evolving compliance and reporting requirements 
  • Promotes transparency, access, and care coordination 
  • Exchanges data securely and efficiently 

In a nutshell, ONC-certification is about more than just compliance; it’s about giving you the foundation to build a system that works for your model of care.

Why it matters more than ever 

In a recent blog post, we explored the lawsuit between Real Time Medical Systems and PointClickCare. The case centered on an EMR restricting access to other vendors that supported the delivery of patient care. 

To be clear: This kind of data blocking is unacceptable in any setting—but in PACE it’s dangerous.  

When your EMR controls your data and who you can work with, you lose more than flexibility. You lose visibility. And that means missed insights, slower interventions, and vulnerable participants falling through the cracks. 

That’s why CareHub was designed to give you control. You own your data. You should be able to use it and share it how you choose. Anything less isn’t just inefficient; it’s a disservice to you and the participants you care for. 

What CareHub does differently 

CareHub puts you in the driver’s seat from day one. On go-live your program gets the tools you need to take control of your data without jumping through hoops. 

Here’s how we support you now: 

  • Built-in connections with your lab, e-prescribing (Surescripts), and TPA partners 
  • Connection to the Carequality national interoperability framework

Arriving later this year, even more control: 

  • Optional DataHub add-on will help you consolidate and manage your data in one place, putting custom reporting, data sharing, and operational insights at your fingertips. 

And on our roadmap for the future: 

  • Modern APIs built to today’s standards that let you integrate new vendors or services without starting from scratch  

CareHub is built on a simple belief: You should own your data, not us. Whether you’re running analytics, building custom reports, or sharing data with partners, your EMR should give you freedom, not friction. 

What is Carequality? 

A trusted national interoperability framework that connects your EMR with thousands of hospitals, provider organizations, and post-acute care partners. 

This allows you to receive clinical data like hospital discharge summaries, imaging reports, or lab results, right inside CareHub. That means less faxing, fewer phone calls, and more informed care decisions. 

In a model where coordination is everything, Carequality gives your team the confidence that nothing falls through the cracks.

What you gain with true data ownership 

When your systems are built to put you in control, your team can: 

 Make faster, more proactive decisions 

 Eliminate unnecessary manual workarounds and rework 

✅ Collaborate with partners of your choice 

 Consistent documentation that supports audit readiness 

 Ensure consistent documentation that support audits and compliance 

 Build a scalable foundation that keeps you future-ready 

These aren’t hypotheticals. These are everyday wins that save time, reduce risk, and help your team focus on what matters most: delivering great care.
