Bidirectional Exchange Will Connect Hospital Systems, Physician EHRs and Allied Care Providers to Improve Care Delivery

The Children's Medical Center of Dayton (Dayton Children's), a not-for-profit, freestanding children's hospital serving 20 counties in Ohio and Eastern Indiana, has selected Medicity to power bidirectional health information exchange ( HIE ) between the medical center, affiliated physicians and other partners in its healthcare community.

Dayton Children's will implement Medicity's Novo Grid infrastructure -- patented technology for connecting care teams and integrating with electronic health records ( EHR s) -- to distribute results, reports, and face sheets from the hospital's Epic clinical systems and McKesson registration systems to community providers. The same Grid infrastructure will power laboratory and radiology orders back to the hospital.

"Our partnership with Medicity enables us to meet the HIE needs of Dayton providers while addressing our hospital's unique business objectives," said Beth Fredette, Dayton Children's CIO. "By sponsoring the secure flow of health information in our community, we aim to improve clinical workflow, enhance patient care and improve affinity with our affiliated physicians by supporting their efforts to achieve meaningful use requirements."  

"The Grid enables secure electronic exchange regardless of which EHR a physician practice has adopted or whether the practice is paper-based," said Kipp Lassetter, MD, Medicity CEO, "which means that Dayton Children's now has a single solution that adapts to a wide variety of practice needs. Significantly, the Grid also provides the flexibility and control for the hospital to connect with state and regional HIE initiatives as they come along."
