Three Solutions Health Centers Were Excited About at NACHC’s CHI Conference

More than 4,000 people attended NACHC's 2026 CHI Conference — and we talked with a lot of them.  

Here are the three CNECT solutions health center staff were most excited to talk about. 

1) Outreach and Eligibility Management Solutions 

New enrollment and eligibility requirements taking effect January 1 will make it increasingly hard for Medicaid patients to maintain their coverage. CNECT has established three partnerships to help community health center patients navigate the new administrative hurdles and avoid disenrollment. 

  • Pointcare is a coverage management and enrollment services solution. It’s the best option for short-staffed clinics needing to create capacity via automation.
  • Thrivelink is a patient engagement and enrollment outreach solution. It’s the best option for clinics seeking AI-powered voice and text tools to empower patients.
  • Elora is an eligibility and workflow automation platform. It’s the best option for clinics with strong enrollment teams looking to improve efficiency through automation.

2) Medplace: External Clinical Peer Review Services 

HRSA-required peer reviews can be disruptive for staff and operations. We identified an opportunity for health centers to minimize disruption and make peer reviews an engine for quality improvement by working with Medplace. 

Medplace makes managing peer reviews simple by providing: 

  • Fast, seamless access to a nationwide network of over 700 practicing, board-certified physician reviewers across over 132 specialties. 
  • Expert matches in approximately 24 hours and completed reviews in as little as 6-10 days. 
  • Enhanced visibility with thorough reporting and analytics dashboards so you can see all your data, trends, and quality metrics in one place.

3) DigitalOptometrics: Remote Optometry Services 

At a time when it's critical for community health centers to establish new revenue streams, CNECT partner DigitalOptometrics provides remote optometry services* with a pathway to profitability within the first year — no new staff required.  

For example, after an initial investment of approximately $100K, and with a $66.50 per exam fee, health centers seeing 40 patients per week at the average PPS rate of $215 will pay off their initial investment in less than four months and make $208K in profit by the end of their first year.
