Saints Memorial Medical Center Leverages Summit Provider Exchange for their Physician Office Integration

The Challenge:

Saints Memorial Medical Center, one of the largest providers of health care in the Merrimack Valley, wanted to integrate their physician offices with their MEDITECH hospital information system. Their priority was to send patient demographics and order results to the physician offices but they were concerned about HIPPA compliance and needed to ensure that physician offices only received data for their own patients.

The Solution:

Saints Memorial Medical Center uses Summit Provider Exchange powered by the Summit Express Connect interface engine to integrate their MEDITECH LAB with their physician offices. As an alternative to redundant point to point interfaces, Summit Provider Exchange provides a flexible yet cost effective solution to accomplish branching of HL7 feeds from MEDITECH to the various physician offices. It has the power to handle the most complex field mapping and filtering required. Integrating area physician offices broadens the referral base for Saints Memorial providing them with a competitive advantage over other local hospitals.

Engagement Highlights:

• Better patient care and increased productivity by accelerating access to vital patient information at the Physician Office or clinic location.
• Summit Provider Exchange ensures HIPPA compliance by sending data to the correct office every time.
• Integrating area physician offices broadens the referral base for Saints Memorial providing them with a competitive advantage over other local hospitals.
