2-1-1 Maine Uses CommunityOS to Share Vital Health Information

January 22, 2010

VisionLink is pleased to report that their customer,2-1-1 Maine, has partnered with the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to share vital information for state residents. Dr. W. Douglas Zimmerman, President of VisionLink, said "this is an important example of how data increases in value as it is exchanged with others and distributed through a variety of channels. If resource data is protected in silos, it is much less valuable."


By using resource information managed in CommunityOS, VisionLink and 2-1-1 Maine partnered to set up a feed of much-needed and valuable health-related information that can be found not only in 2-1-1 Maine's CommunityOS solution (www.211maine.org), but also on an external website created by government partners (www.keepMEwell.org).


This gives residents quick and easy access to targeted health-related information. By participating in an initaitive spearheaded by Governor Baldacci's Office and the CDC, 2-1-1 Maine has further strengthened local partnerships and are supporting residents in powerful and innovative ways.


This is an important example of how the value of resource information expands as it is exchanged and delivered through multiple channels.


The launch of this significant work was announced as part of Governor's Baldacci's State of the State address last evening, which can be found here: http://www.maine.gov/tools/whatsnew/index.php?topic=Gov+News&id=89381&v=Article-2006


Congratulations to the 2-1-1 Maine team. Well done!
