InterSystems Selected as Primary Technology Partner for Nation’s Longest Standing Public-Private Health Information Network

InterSystems,
a global leader in information technology platforms for health,
business, and government applications, today announced it has been
selected by the eHealth
Exchange, the largest nationwide health information network
connecting the public and private sectors, as the technology partner
powering the network’s latest expansion plans. The network will
implement InterSystems HealthShare® suite of connected health solutions
to help deliver the initial enhancements.

The eHealth Exchange enables federal agencies, 75 percent of U.S.
hospitals, and tens of thousands of clinics to share patient records to
better treat patients and coordinate care. The eHealth Exchange also
supports public health reporting, quality reporting, and disability and
insurance determinations. The network celebrated its 10-year anniversary
by adopting InterSystems
HealthShare to power its information exchange, accelerating network
expansion, and introducing new use cases, such as population-level
exchange, push notifications, discrete data-level queries using HL7 Fast
Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®), prescription drug
monitoring programs (PDMP), and more.

HealthShare is a suite of connected health solutions that unites
providers, patients, and payers with a unified health record and
analytics that span the care continuum. HealthShare integrates data from
a variety of health information systems and pulls it into one place to
give care teams a complete view of the patient, creating a unified,
community-wide health record.

“InterSystems is thrilled that HealthShare will power the ever-expanding
ecosystem for the eHealth Exchange,” said Don Woodlock, vice president
of HealthShare for InterSystems. “As the participants in eHealth
Exchange continue to grow – in number and members — the scalability,
durability, and performance of HealthShare are perfectly suited to
enable the national network to grow. Providing better connectivity
between providers of all types and the patients they serve gets us all
to a shared common objective: a unified view of the patient and a more
engaged and engaging healthcare system.”

InterSystems partners with some of the nation’s largest health
information exchanges (HIEs) to serve as the underlying technology
behind the networks, including Healthix, the largest public HIE in the
U.S.; Manifest MedEx, California’s largest nonprofit health data
network; New York Care Information Gateway, a health information
organization covering 6.5 million patients across the five boroughs of
New York and Long Island; and North Carolina Department of Information
Technology’s NC HealthConnex, the state’s designated health information
exchange supporting 4,500 healthcare facilities across the state.
