1up Clinical Connect

Unify clinical and claims data with FHIR®-powered EHR connectivity.

Benefits

Turn Provider EHR Data Into Your Data

Health plans need clinical data to run their most critical programs, but reliably pulling it from providers’ EHRs is harder than it should be. Manual chart chasing, infrequent data pulls, and fragmented sources leave plans working with an incomplete picture.

1up Clinical Connect automates clinical data acquisition directly from providers’ EHRs, unifying USCDI-standard clinical data with claims into a single longitudinal member record. Unlike chart-chase vendors working retrospectively, one member at a time, 1up Clinical Connect runs continuously in the background, surfacing insights your teams would otherwise never see.

Close Care Gaps & Improve HEDIS Performance

Surface completed care from EHR data that claims miss, improving numerator capture.

Increase RAF Accuracy & Audit Readiness

Support more accurate HCC coding and stronger RADV defensibility with provider-documented diagnoses.

Reduce Misaligned Spend

Help care teams catch utilization issues earlier with a complete clinical picture.

Targeted Member Interventions

Act on clinical signals, like lab trends and care gaps, to prioritize outreach before issues escalate.

Stronger Provider Relationships

Eliminate manual chart requests with FHIR-based data retrieval integrated into providers' existing EHR workflows.

How It Works

An automated, always-on pipeline that turns EHR data into a unified member record.

Define Your Population

Upload a roster or generate one from claims data to identify which members' clinical data to retrieve.

Connect to Provider EHRs

1up connects to provider EHR systems, including Epic and athenahealth, via secure FHIR API connections to retrieve clinical data.

Match Patients

Members are matched to their provider patient records to ensure accurate, reliable data retrieval.

Retrieve Clinical Data Automatically

USCDI-standard clinical data, including observations, encounters, conditions, clinical notes, and procedures, is retrieved from the EHR.

Validate & Unify

Retrieved clinical data is validated, tagged with its source, and combined with existing claims data into a longitudinal member record.

Activate Across Downstream Systems

Unified data is delivered in normalized, FHIR or non-FHIR formats to your existing systems, activating richer member insights across the organization.

A Fuller Picture, With Real Impact

The benefit of combining claims with clinical data adds up fast, and as HEDIS goes fully digital by 2030, that depth of data becomes a requirement, not just an edge.

FAQs

What EHR systems does 1up Clinical Connect connect to?

1up Clinical Connect currently connects to Epic and athenahealth via secure FHIR APIs, with additional EHR integrations on the way. Reach out to the 1up team to discuss your specific EHR needs.

1up Clinical Connect retrieves structured USCDI-standard data elements, including labs, conditions, clinical notes, procedures, and medications, directly through certified EHR APIs. This gives health plans a broader, more consistent view across a full population rather than the narrower, manually pulled records typical of traditional chart retrieval.

It’s passive by design. Once a connection is configured, 1up Clinical Connect automatically pulls clinical data on a recurring schedule (for example, daily or weekly) without requiring any ongoing action from the provider. Providers can see what data was shared and when, but they don’t have to manage or initiate the process themselves.

There’s no limit on 1up’s side to how far back a data request can go. In practice, the lookback window depends on what each provider’s EHR supports and how long the member has been enrolled with the health plan.

Members are matched to their corresponding provider patient records before any clinical data is retrieved, ensuring that the data entered into the longitudinal member record is tied to the correct individual and reliably linked to existing claims data.

No. 1up manages the EHR connections, data retrieval, validation, and source tagging automatically, with full visibility into ingestion status through the 1up Console.
