http://home.businesswire.com
Healthvision, a leading healthcare information technology (HIT) solutions provider, today announced a sixth application partner with their e-Health Interoperability Exchange Partnership Program, with the addition of the Misys EMR product. Healthvision’s e-Health Interoperability Exchange Partnership program certifies that partner health IT applications, including EHR, EMR and e-prescribing, are able to exchange clinical patient data through the HIE platform according to the requirements outlined in ASTM’s Continuity of Care Record (CCR) standard.
Healthvision’s HIE platform electronically links all members of the patient care team, including physicians, hospitals, labs and other stakeholders, for the purpose of sharing key clinical data among all care providers and developing a complete electronic data record for all patients. The HIE platform creates an interconnected, comprehensive electronic health record of both inpatient and ambulatory data. These patient data records are then delivered to all care team participants, either through implemented EMR or EHR applications or through Web-based portal views. Healthvision’s architecture ensures private and secure data exchange while providing a patient-centric data repository from multiple sources.
Misys’ multi-specialty-focused electronic medical records software, Misys EMR, features powerful functionality and includes easy-to-use features that bring countless benefits to physicians and staff, as well as patients. The EMR software also works seamlessly with Misys’ practice management and billing solutions, or it can be integrated with other existing practice management applications.
Healthvision is committed to working with EMR vendors like Misys to extend the value of interoperability to the entire provider team. The combination of an interoperability exchange, such as Healthvision’s HIE platform, with an EMR application effectively connects all clinical patient data from a variety of sources, including labs, hospitals and physician practices. Putting this complete patient database into practice at the point-of-care improves both the overall quality and cost of care.
“As Healthvision’s e-Health Interoperability Exchange Partnership Program continues to expand through new partnerships with health IT vendors, our clients’ Connected Healthcare Communities will also expand their information exchange capabilities,”? said Scott Decker, CEO and president of Healthvision. “We are excited to include Misys in our interoperability exchange program, and look forward to integrating their EMR solution into our clients’ connected healthcare communities.”
“Interoperability is a key component in the foundation of our EMR software, and our partnership with Healthvision is a confirmation of Misys EMR’s superior and seamless integration and data exchange capabilities,”? commented Rich Goldberg, senior vice president of business development for Misys Healthcare Systems. “We look forward to jointly implementing our solutions within Healthvision’s growing number of supported healthcare communities.”?
Healthvision is committed to working with all interested EMR and EHR vendors to extend the value of data interoperability across the entire spectrum of health providers and stakeholder groups. EMR and EHR vendors are encouraged to join Healthvision’s e-Health Interoperability Exchange Partnership Program, which requires a simple certification process.
