New Product for Physician Office Integration with Robust Order Management Capabilities
Braintree, Mass.- Summit Healthcare, a leader in healthcare system integration and task automation, today announced the launch of Summit Provider Exchange. Summit Provider Exchange, the latest addition to the Summit Apex Suite of integration and automation applications, offers the ability to facilitate physician office integration and health exchange participation. This is accomplished through integrating bi-directional patient ADT, order and results data between the hospital and physician office EMR systems.
Summit Provider Exchange provides healthcare organizations with the ability to connect to an unlimited number of offices with easy customization, mapping and smart routing of data including order control and management features. The immediate advantages of integrating with physician offices are numerous and include giving external providers access to critical patient data to increase productivity and improve clinical decision making while allowing for enhanced revenue opportunities at the hospital. With Summit Provider Exchange, there is no longer the headache or worry of orders being sent to your MEDITECH system without a hospital medical record number.
Physician Office Integration (POI) is not a new concept for Summit Healthcare, as the company has been integrating systems for over 11 years with its robust interface engine technology. Through client participation and feedback, it was quickly realized that there was more to physician office integration than just interfaces; there was a constant challenge with registration and order management. Summit Provider Exchange evolved as the result of research and development efforts, client feedback and the recent passing of the stimulus act (ARRA).
“At Summit Healthcare, we listened to our customers’ feedback and worked to deliver to the marketplace a versatile, user-friendly product to solve the connectivity challenges our clients were facing,” said Paul Actis, VP Development, Summit Healthcare. “With Summit Provider Exchange, we believe we’ve delivered a product that will not only enable interoperability, but also solve the order management challenge that both the hospital departments and physician offices face daily.”
