Change Log

Change Date	Change Item	Change Description
7/15/2024	MaineCare Eligibility Criteria	HARP v.2.0 currently provides two filter options for users to stratify their attributed patients based on MaineCare (Medicaid) eligibility: (1) MaineCare Eligible Member and (2) MaineCare Eligible Encounter. To improve performance and streamline use cases within HARP v.3.0, the MaineCare Eligible Encounter filter has been removed altogether. Users will continue to be able to identify their attributed patients who are active, eligible MaineCare members by using the MaineCare Eligible Member filter; however, they will not be able to identify (a) attributed patients who had a MaineCare-eligible encounter in the last year regardless of their current eligibility status or (b) all MaineCare-eligible encounters among their attributed patients. For more information about available filters ongoing, visit the MaineCare Eligibility Criteria section.
7/15/2024	Chronic Condition Filter	The ongoing removal of the Risk Model/Class filter in HARP v.3.0 that currently exists in HARP v.2.0 on the Utilization Profile and Patient Utilization dashboards has been previously communicated in the Frontend Modifications section. However, to retain a priority use case of stratifying attributed patients by those with a present chronic condition, a new Chronic Condition filter has been added to the Insights dashboard.
7/17/2024	Webinar Materials	A new section has been added to this suite of documentation to host materials from the release preview webinar sessions.
7/23/2024	HARP Utilities	A new suite of reporting, known as HARP Utilities, has been introduced as a value-add offering to the HARP suite that provides users with additional information about some of the key administrative underpinnings (e.g., patient attribution and user permission configurations) of the service. HARP Utilities will be released to all existing users on July 30 in conjunction with the second phase release of HARP v.3.0. At that time, users will receive access to a “HARP Utilities” item within their “Reporting” menu.
7/25/2024	HARP Limited	As part of this major release, the Office of MaineCare Services' (MaineCare) users of the HIE’s MaineCare Analytics Platform (MAP) and MAP Limited services will transition to HARP. Within HARP, these users' access will be controlled by role-based permissions that inform the exact type and amount of patient health information they are able to view within reporting based on MaineCare’s data authorization agreement with HealthInfoNet. HARP Limited is a tailored suite of reporting dashboards designed specifically to accommodate the use cases and workflows of MaineCare’s Emergency Department (ED) Collaborative. No other users beyond those belonging to the ED Collaborative will obtain access to these dashboards.
