Want sustainability? Focus on transformation, not automation

EMR: implementation to interoperability
With EMRs biting at the heels of hospitals nationwide, it’s time for CIOs to take the plunge and face a new era of medical records.
Delivering early HIE value
Today, healthcare information is fragmented among disparate healthcare systems and providers. Professionals recognize that this leads to ineffective, costly care; medical errors; and unnecessary repetition of diagnostic tests. Professionals also recognize that health information exchange (HIE) holds the promise of a cure for those who participate. The major barrier to successful implementation of an HIE is the lack of EMR adoption by physicians, particularly those in the smaller practices.
Franciscan Health System health information exchange evolution
Franciscan Health System, located in Washington State, wanted to streamline the delivery of their clinical results to affiliated physicians. They chose Axolotl's Elysium® Exchange platform in 1999 and have since evolved into one of the largest, successful health information exchanges (HIEs) in their state— serving more than 600 unique organizations, 6,000 users and 1,800 health care providers who rely on the Franciscan HIE every day.
