Greenway Health of Carrollton, Ga., Premise Health of Brentwood, Tenn., and several ambulatory and acute-care providers teamed up in Portland, Ore., for a bi-directional health data exchange project, which uses eHealth Exchange.
Here are five things to know:
1. eHealth Exchange connects ambulatory clinic, hospital, health plan, outpatient surgery and multi-specialty integrated delivery settings.
2. Greenway Health, a health information solutions provider, partnered with one of its customers, Premise Health to get Portland-area centers on the eHealth Exchange platform.
3. The duo established connectivity via eHealth Exchange between Epic customers Providence Health & Services, Kaiser Permanente Northwest and The Portland Clinics.
4. Patient data, including initial visits, referrals, emergencies, hospitalizations, discharge care and health plan reconciliation, is transferred through the exchange.
5. Premise Health and Intel are starting a similar project in Phoenix.
"Patients increasingly expect convenience and a seamless experience across their providers," said Will Rice, Premise Health's vice president of application and delivery. "Through our use of Greenway solutions and the eHealth Exchange, information can now seamlessly follow Intel's Oregon employees to all settings of care."
