NH Care Connections: Our Partners
Information about the agencies and partners involved in NH Care Connections, a network of providers and community-based organizations supporting individuals and families.
New Hampshire Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services
The New Hampshire Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services (DMAVS) was legislated and passed into law in 2019 with Senate Bill 208 to consolidate Military and Veterans services previously provided in other state departments into one Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services. The mission of DMAVS is to enable New Hampshire’s Military and Veterans communities as they protect the homeland, forge enduring partnerships, and provide support system for Service Members, Veterans, and their Families. The department consists of the Division of Veterans Services, NH State Veterans Cemetery, and the Division of Community Based Military Programs and is supported by the NH National Guard Wellness Division.
"Ask the Question" Initiative
"Ask the Question" Initiative
The “Ask the Question” (ATQ) Initiative is designed for providers of all services across New Hampshire to ask their clients “Have you or a family member ever served in the military?” and to provide information, assistance, and tailored support if the answer is “Yes”. ATQ has been successfully implemented by individual providers, agencies, businesses, and organizations across the Granite State and the nation.
The NH Care Connections Network recognizes importance of “Ask the Question” by including this question as part of the screening intake process within its network of services.

What’s a coordinated care network?
A coordinated care network is a group of cross-sector partners from healthcare, government, nonprofi t, and other organizations connected through our shared technology software. These network partners use Unite Us’ software to securely identify, deliver, and pay for services that address the needs of individuals within their communities.
The PointClickCare National Care Collaboration Network is a platform that delivers actionable insights to providers and care team members to close gaps that undermine patient care.
The network is comprised of hospitals, emergency departments, primary care, specialists, behavioral health providers, post-acute care providers, and health plans across the United States, that share important patient information at the time of care.
PointClickCare’s platform intelligently connects each member of a patient’s care team for seamless collaboration at the right time and through the best medium. It supports a community of providers in the care of patients— especially those with complex medical needs—in your communities and across the country.

NH DHHS and NH DMAVS are committed to utilizing innovative solutions that can reduce administrative burden to providers and improve the quality of care offered to the residents of New Hampshire. As trusted partners, Unite Us and PointClickCare comply with electronic information security standards and regulations required by law for personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), substance use disorder information (SUD), financial and insurance information and other information shared by individuals and providers using the NH Care Connections Network.
The department encourages network participating providers to consider industry standards for interfaces (such as HL7, FHIR Integration, Single Sign On (SSO), etc.) whenever possible. These deliver an improved user experience and add security through protected, bi-directional data flow and added user authentication. If advanced interfaces described above are not possible at the time of implementation, standard interfaces are available with each platform and the advanced capabilities can be adopted by network participating providers when they are able to.
