Sarah Bush Lincoln Health System Integrating Bi-Directionally with Physician Offices
The Challenge:
Sarah Bush Lincoln Health System, a 180 bed full acute care facility located in Illinois had a need to integrate their Physician Office Clinics with their Meditech hospital information system. The primary goal was to place LAB orders into the Meditech system for processing and then to communicate these results back into the Physician Office Atlas LabEMR system. Since this was going to be a bi-directional transaction it was extremely important that there were factors in place for patient identification checks between the Meditech system and the Physician Office Atlas LabEMR. Lastly, HIPPA compliance was of the upmost importance.
The Solution:
Sarah Bush Lincoln Health System uses Summit Provider Exchange powered by Summit Express Connect to integrate their Atlas LabEMR system with their respective MEDITECH information system. They immediately saw the value in eliminating redundant point to point interfaces and found instant ROI savings through the implementation of the Summit Provider Exchange product. Summit Provider Exchange provides a flexible and scalable solution to accomplish the complexities of bi-directional interfacing between Physician Offices and major HCIS systems.
Engagement Highlights:
- Better patient care and increased productivity by accelerating access to vital patient information at the Physician Office or clinic location.
- Summit Healthcare integration technology ensures HIPPA compliance by sending data to the correct office every time.
- Integrating area physician offices broadens the referral base for Sara Bush Lincoln Health Systems providing them with a competitive advantage over other local hospitals
