Community-Hospital System Serving Central New Hampshire Adopts Web-Based EHR From Long-Time Partner, IntraNexus

IntraNexus Inc., a leading provider of HIS solutions for nearly 17 years, announced that LRGHealthcare, a two-hospital integrated delivery system based in Laconia, N.H., has signed an agreement to purchase the IntraNexus SAPPHIRE clinical software suite including clinical management, advanced documentation, pharmacy, lab, radiology, scheduling and document management. IntraNexus will provide its web-based EHR and ultimately CPOE to LRGHealthcare’s hospitals, clinics, physicians and affiliated programs.

LRGHealthcare is comprised of two community hospitals, 137-bed Lakes Region General Hospital and Franklin Regional Hospital, a 25-bed critical access hospital. IntraNexus has worked closely with the senior management at LRGHealthcare since 1995. Implementation of SAPPHIRE is expected to begin in the fall with initial applications available early next year.

“Over the past 14 years IntraNexus has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to LRGHealthcare and a thorough understanding of our unique automation challenges,” said Tom Clairmont, president and CEO of LRGHealthcare. “As partners we are committed to improving the delivery of healthcare to our community through state-of-the art information technology.”

Rick O’Pry, CEO of IntraNexus, said, “We are very pleased to continue our long term partnership with LRGHealthcare, taking it to a new level with our SAPPHIRE Web solution. IntraNexus is committed to empowering LRGHealthcare’s community hospitals with IT that is robust, flexible and mobile.”

Recognizing the need for flexible and comprehensive solutions, IntraNexus developed SAPPHIRE Web, a next generation, web-based HIS system. Together, the SAPPHIRE Server and SAPPHIRE Web solutions can support patient access, revenue cycle and advanced clinical needs for any healthcare organization regardless of size.
