Hospital Selects Medicity’s Clinical Integration
Platform
Medicity Will
Deploy Its Clinical Integration Platform at Englewood
Hospital to “Future Proof” Clinical Systems
and Give Physicians Options for Accessing Patient
Data
Salt Lake City, UT,
January 18, 2007—Medicity, Inc., will deploy
its Clinical Integration Platform at Englewood Hospital
and Medical Center of New Jersey. The system will
consolidate all clinical data and allow the Medical
Center to position itself to acquire “best of
breed” technology in the future. Patient data
stored in all departmental systems at the 520-bed
regional medical center will be aggregated into a
patient-centric, data-staging environment that will
alert physicians to completed test results, and highlight
results requiring their immediate attention. The Medicity
platform makes patient information accessible from
any internet-enabled location while continuing to
support result delivery through office printers or
fax machines.
“In both the inpatient and
outpatient setting, providers will have access to
their patients’ records across the continuum
of care and the ability to display and trend data
to suit their practice preferences,” says Dan
Markham, Englewood’s Vice President of IT and
Diagnostic & Therapeutic Services.
“Englewood is enhancing its
integration strategy with a new data repository and
staging architecture,” states Diane Caesar,
Englewood’s Chief Information Officer. “The
new Clinical Integration Platform will provide users
with a single point of access to all data in the style
and format that any individual physician may choose
while meeting organizational security requirements.”
The platform will enforce Englewood
Hospital’s privacy policies. The system’s
security features give access to patient records based
on hospital roles and office staff responsibilities.
It empowers designated administrators at physician
practices to add and delete their own users within
the context of hospital policy. Secure clinical messaging
allows physicians to share relevant patient data to
expedite the consulting process while insuring confidentiality
and privacy.
“We view the platform as way
to meet the growing expectation among physicians for
convenient access to clinical information and the
foundation from which to launch Englewood Hospital’s
future initiatives. Plans include physician office
EMR connectivity and patient access to their medical
record, allowing them to participate more fully in
their own care,” states Caesar. The hospital’s
new infrastructure is an investment in the future,
preparing for data-exchange requirements and evolving
technologies consistent with the high standard of
care provided at Englewood Hospital.
