Providence
Health System’s Southern California Service
Area
Successfully Launches Medicity’s Physician Portal
Medicity’s product interfaces
with Providence’s disparate systems to provide
a consolidated view of patient information to over
850 physicians and clinicians.
Salt Lake
City, UT and Burbank, CA, April
27, 2006— Medicity, Inc. and Providence Health
System’s Southern California Service Area today
announced the successful deployment of Medicity’s
Physician Portal at Providence Saint Joseph and Providence
Holy Cross Medical Centers. Providence Health System
is a multi-facility integrated delivery network. Medicity
is a leading provider of clinical connectivity and
web-based electronic health records. This is the first
clinical solution deployed by Medicity since it acquired
the iServices Division of Park City Solutions.
Medicity’s KLAS ranked Physician
Portal efficiently interfaces Providence’s disparate
clinical and administrative systems to provide a single
view into all relevant clinical information for more
than 850 physicians and clinicians. “The successful
launch of Medicity’s Physician Portal, which
we branded ’ProvCare,‘ is allowing physicians
and other clinical users in our Southern California
Service Area to easily connect and improve the way
they practice medicine,” says Brad Osborne,
regional chief information officer at Providence Health
System. “The winning combination of Medicity’s
technology and our strategy to use physician liaisons
to promote ProvCare and educate physicians has accelerated
utilization of the ProvCare Portal within weeks after
its release to general users. We are very pleased
with ProvCare’s roll-out.”
The Medicity Physician Portal is
also being installed at Providence’s Little
Company of Mary Hospitals in Torrance and San Pedro,
California. Some of the benefits and features of ProvCare
include:
- A comprehensive solution
that enables physicians to access patient information
from the hospital, the office, home, or from any
internet-connected computer
- A consolidated view of
patient information from disparate systems
- Web access to diagnostic
images with associated written interpretations
- Secure messaging for physicians
- Tailored application views,
reflecting physician preferences that meet unique
practice workflow
- A system that insulates
users from back-end systems changes
