Medicity Care Collaboration Platform to Enable Clinical Operability and Community Healthcare Data Exchange for Eclipsys’ Clients
Medicity and Eclipsys Corporation (NASDAQ: ECLP), The Outcomes Company, announced that the two companies are partnering to deliver a health information exchange, HealthXchange, to Eclipsys clients. By leveraging Medicity’s market-leading Care Collaboration Platform, the vendor-neutral solution will enable access, exchange and sharing of patient-centric clinical information, thereby enabling seamless exchange of health information among disparate systems within and across acute care, ambulatory and community settings.
Eclipsys, an industry leader in physician adoption of technology solutions and measurable outcomes, offers a comprehensive suite of clinical, financial and performance-improvement enterprise software to coordinate care delivery between the inpatient and outpatient environments. Through its award-winning community health information solutions designed for physician practices, the company supports health systems in better connecting with physicians, and physicians with their patients.
“President Obama’s support of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act will help stimulate widespread EHR adoption by 2014 and encourage healthcare organizations to leverage technologies to securely distribute, access and share patient information with all stakeholders to improve clinical workflow, care coordination, and reduce costs,” explained Kipp Lassetter, M.D., C.E.O. of Medicity. “To achieve that goal, it’s critical that these heterogeneous systems seamlessly interoperate to provide physicians with easy access to the essential clinical data needed to deliver high-quality, cost-effective healthcare.”
According to Dan Soule, Eclipsys’ vice president of Interoperability and Connectivity Solutions –Government Affairs, “The agreement with Medicity will support our ongoing healthcare enterprise community strategy, which builds on our company’s 30 years of experience in helping organizations achieve outcomes with electronic health records and advanced clinical systems. After thoroughly evaluating competing vendors, we believe Medicity best complements Eclipsys’ architecture and will greatly serve in leveraging our ongoing efforts to help our clients to meet the ‘meaningful use’ stipulation necessary to receive Federal financial incentive. Eclipsys and Medicity will develop pre-built interfaces to Eclipsys solutions for rapid implementation and position providers toward the loosely-based preliminary definition of ‘meaningful use.’ We look forward to working together with Medicity to deploy a standards-based, interoperable platform and achieving proven results with leading hospitals, physician practices and Health Information Exchanges (HIEs).”
Medicity serves more than 700 hospitals and health systems, leading HIEs, and thousands of physician practices. In partnership with its clients, Medicity has delivered integration with more than 50 unique electronic medical record applications and more than 150 healthcare information system (HIS) applications. Every day, hundreds of thousands of physicians and other clinical and administrative users rely on Medicity solutions to deliver better patient care, increase efficiency, enhance revenue, strengthen their competitive position and reduce costs.
Added Lassetter, “The Medicity and Eclipsys partnership is a win-win that empowers us to deliver a free-flow of clinical information to the appropriate stakeholders involved in providing patient-centered care throughout the community. We are delighted that our proven solutions will facilitate Eclipsys’ strategic goals and strengthen their client relationships. We are confident that Eclipsys’ market position and extensive footprint will further accelerate the adoption of EHRs.”
