Shared Health, Inc., a public/private health information exchange (HIE), has partnered with health information provider MEDai, Inc., US, part of STM publisher Elsevier, to provide a rich, interoperable, clinically relevant HIE platform to the state of Tennessee. This partnership seeks to deliver solutions and technologies that support clinical excellence and operating efficiencies. It comes at a time when stimulus funding is being leveraged to create an information exchange that helps drive meaningful use of healthcare information technology and care improvement across the healthcare continuum.
Shared Health Clinical Xchange improves the types of clinical information available to providers, helping physician practices operate more efficiently and deliver better overall patient care by bringing patient-centric information from an entire health care team to the point of care. By merging key clinical data with administrative data, Clinical Xchange takes practices ‘out of the silo’ and delivers a comprehensive clinical decision support solution. Clinical Xchange supports proactive and preventive health initiatives – disease management, wellness and early intervention.
MEDai’s predictive modeling and evidence-based medicine guideline compliance capability forms the core of actionable information within Shared Health’s clinical data-sharing platform, Clinical Xchange. This platform integrates clinical decision support and population management tools to better inform clinicians and help promote evidence-based guideline compliance and coordination of care. It is interoperable with any electronic medical record (EMR) and can create a longitudinal view of the patient drawn from a variety of sources, including the exam room, the lab, the pharmacy, the payer and the patient.
