Medicity Clinical Clearinghouse—
a Turnkey Approach to EMR Integration

As physician adoption of EMRs increases, so does physician demand for hospital clinical data piped directly into their EMR systems. Hospitals must address this expectation in order to remain competitive among their physicians. The first interface with the EMR at the largest admitting practice may not be a problem, but as the requests multiply, so does the support, the security problems, the complexity, and the expense.

Medicity now offers a turnkey solution that eliminates the interface nightmare of creating, hosting, and maintaining a tangle of point-to-point EMR interfaces. The Medicity Clinical Clearinghouse—a low-cost ASP solution—employs web-native technology and a library of EMR interfaces to efficiently resolve hospitals’ data distribution problems without a substantial capital expense.

Medicity is uniquely positioned to provide the most comprehensive EMR integration solution on the market. In 2004, Medicity developed one of the earliest EMR web-service interfaces in Healthcare to support lab data distribution into physician offices. Since that time, because of its contract with a national medical testing laboratory that serves more than 240,000 physicians, Medicity has proliferated its EMR interface library. This national lab contract and Medicity’s growing involvement in large health-information-exchange initiatives further EMR-vendor cooperation. Medicity’s expanding interface library, combined with the inherent scalability of its technology, creates an EMR integration solution that is both flexible and powerful.

The Medicity Clinical Clearinghouse service routes data from the hospital’s clinical systems into physician EMRs and improves data distribution options, maintenance, and system usability.

ProAccess 4.0 Brings Together the Best
of Two Product Lineages

The new version of ProAccess combines the best features of two successful product lines at Medicity and Park City Solutions. ProAccess 4.0 makes a long list of usability enhancements available to our clients, including new flexibility in data viewing, hover-over views to reduce user navigation, and the ability to pivot the data axis when trending results. It brings together a sophisticated user interface with a world-class interoperability platform designed to be an effective solution for all large healthcare organizations with physicians who depend upon them for data—hospitals, hospital systems, IDNs, and large physician groups. The new release was designed after extensive physician feedback and client consultation.

“ProAccess 4.0 really benefited from the prior efforts of two successful companies competing in the marketplace. Now those teams have been integrated into a single R&D organization intent on preserving the best features from both product lines, while innovating to produce the industry’s finest example of physician-focused, clinical information tools,” says Carol Owen, Medicity SVP of Product Management.

Park City Solution Client Leads
the ProAccess 4.0 Adoption

Henry Mayo Newall Hospital in Valencia, California, will be the first beta site for ProAccess 4.0 and the first Park City Solutions client to convert their existing physician portal to Medicity’s latest and most impressive version of its provider portal application.

ProAccess 4.0 will also be installed during October of 2007 at other hospitals in addition to Henry Mayo Newhall—Englewood Hospital and Medical Center and Winchester Hospital. Medicity staff continues to work with its customers toward upgrading them to the new clinical application.


Delaware Health Information Network
Leading the Way

The Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN) has a strong leadership position among care communities that want to share clinical information. Following the successful rollout of lab results, radiology reads, and transcription reports in the first phase of their multi-year effort, DHIN is implementing a statewide Community Master Person Index (CMPI) and Record Locator Service (RLS) that will track the location and description of new clinical information available in the state. They have launched a multi-year, medication-reconciliation project and continue to integrate new clinical data sources in the network, with 18 additional systems interfaces on the calendar for implementation. During the next year, they will also implement Medicity’s solution for ordering lab tests through physician EMRs.

DHIN has received their expected $3 million of funding for the next budget year from the State which will be matched by private funds, assuring adequate resources to meet these organizational goals.

Medicity was selected with Perot Systems Corporation to configure the solution for sharing clinical information in Delaware. DHIN is a public-private venture managing the initiative for all stakeholders.
