Seamless Clinical Data Integration Means More Seamless Care

Access to clinical data in real time is critical for your organization to efficiently coordinate care across care settings. While valuable, simple exchange of electronic clinical documents without workflow integration is often not much more efficient than faxing.

In contrast, athenahealth’s clinical data integration solution allows you to extract information your clinicians need from clinical documents and import it into the patient chart as structured data—seamlessly, in real-time—so your clinicians can see a full view of the patient without added time or a separate workflow. Our solution includes:

• Bi-directional interface with Carequality. Exchange data with any hospital or other ambulatory practice using a network or EHR that enables a connection under the Carequality Interoperability Framework, such as Epic® Care Everywhere. Search capability. Query the sending EHR for patient records – and filter those findings by document type and timeframe.
• Selective clinical reconciliation tool. Easily review and evaluate available information, then quickly integrate information that is most important to your clinicians—all in a seamless format to the end user. Query, reconcile, and integrate data either in advance during chart preparations or on-demand while the patient is being seen.
• Continuous process improvement. athenahealth’s integration experts will help you adopt best practices using these new workflows, train your end users, and accelerate the deployment across multiple locations or practices so your clinicians realize benefits faster.
