SacValley MedShare is the regional health information organization that serves a 21-county region of California, north of Sacramento, which includes the North Central Valley and the surrounding mountainous terrain. SacValley MedShare is a California not-for-profit corporation, operating under I.R.S. section 501(c)(3) and governed by a local community Board of Directors.  Its board members are drawn from senior leadership members of stakeholder participants within the HIE; they were deliberately chosen to provide both geographic and institutional diversity.

They currently include representatives from:

Individual Acute-Care Hospitals, Hospital Systems, Critical Access Hospitals, Tribal Healthcare, Federally-Qualified Healthcare Clinics, Private Medical Clinics, Imaging Centers and Laboratories.

Reporting directly to the Board, the Development Committee is involved with the day-to-day operational and organizational management of the organization.  Its membership, in addition to having representatives from the above categories, includes representatives from:

County Public and Behavioral Health, Medical Societies, The Hospital Council of Northern and Central California, and an insurance payer.

SacValley MedShare is a member of the California Association of Health Information Exchanges (CAHIE). Our region is largely rural and mountainous, with travel limited by climate and season in much of the area. Good communication is critical to coordinate care between primary care, specialists, hospital providers, and skilled nursing care facilities that fulfill a vital role in post-discharge care for many patients.

The region is comprised of Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Lassen, Mendocino, Modoc, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Yolo, and Yuba counties. The region covers over 50,000 square miles, and serves over 2.6 million in population. As such, it has the problems associated with serving the largest geographically-contiguous region of all of the California Health Information Exchange (HIE’s), with one of the lowest population and provider densities. Much of its population lies in medically-underserved rural areas, while there are larger urban centers scattered along the Sacramento Valley. Some of these centers exceed 100,000 in population, and most are much smaller. Its larger acute-care hospitals are either non-affiliated community not-for-profit entities, or are part of larger hospital networks (Adventist, Dignity, Providence St. Joseph Health, and Prime). Most urban areas are served by a single facility. Acute care in the smaller communities is provided by rural Critical Access Hospitals.

In 2021, SacValley MedShare partnered with KONZA for specific management services. KONZA is a national HIE platform of technology and services that has a proven track record of positive results. “KONZA builds upon a proven model for the development of the technical infrastructure necessary to enable the sharing of clinical information at the point of care, while supporting transformative value-based payment models, care management, and data analytics. Patients, physicians, healthcare facilities, and other healthcare providers from across the country benefit from KONZA's delivery of unequaled actionable intelligence.” https://www.konza.org/about
