| Memorial
Hospital and Medicity Announce
Completed Contract for Physician Portal
Belleville,
IL, and Salt Lake City, UT, May 10, 2007—Memorial
Hospital, a 313-bed acute care hospital in Belleville,
Illinois, and Medicity, Inc., a Salt Lake City-based
clinical software company, today announced they have
completed a contract for the implementation of Medicity’s
MediTrust interoperability platform. The platform
will stage patient information from hospital systems—MEDITECH
HIS, PACS, EKGs, and document images—in its
patient-centric, electronic health record for distribution
to the practices of its Medical Staff. The Platform
includes Medicity’s ProAccess suite which offers
physicians options for electronic access to patient
data, including web, fax and dedicated printer. Access
of clinical data through handheld devices and integration
with office EMRs via the Medicity EMR Gateway are
components slated for later phases of the project.
Patient information will be accessible from any Internet-enabled
location while office staff will also be able manage
incoming patient results to their office printers
and fax machines. Security features and audit capability
protect patient privacy as data moves to users.
Memorial selected
Medicity’s solution for its comprehensive vision
and its support for emerging industry requirements
such as EMR adoption and the complexities of community
data exchanges. The platform will allow Memorial Hospital
to meet its objectives today and in the future.
Memorial’s
primary objective in this project is to create efficiencies
for its physicians and their practices. Medicity’s
Clinical Integration Platform streamlines physician
workflow in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
Electronic applications like e-signature, and lab-result
trending give physicians new convenience and effectiveness.
Providing around-the-clock
access to patient clinical information is critical
for patients and the providers that serve them. A
data staging architecture serves as a down-time backup
for Memorial Hospital’s inpatient systems and
isolates those systems from the performance demands
and risks of users outside the hospital. The interoperability
platform will “future proof” the hospital
against new requests for integration with systems
external to the organization, like a community health
information exchange or payer systems requiring new
electronic reporting requirements.
