MEDHOST and Interoperability

Patient Health Record Exchange

Our vision for higher interoperability standards supports the exchange of data between the care settings. MEDHOST supports these exchanges through:

• CCDA 2.1 Support – MEDHOST supports the latest CCDA version and multiple document templates allowing the hospital to facilitate care coordination for the patient.
• Direct Messaging – Utilizing the millions of end points on the Direct Trust Network, our Community Mail application allows secure communication and bi-directional exchange of healthcare documents between providers across organizations and between patients and their providers.
• Automated transition of care – MEDHOST supports automated Transitions of Care by enabling the Primary Care Physician to be kept abreast of their patient’s visits to the Hospital without putting additional workflow burdens on the hospital.
• Query and Retrieve across MEDHOST’s platform – With patient consent provided, MEDHOST can perform automated queries across hundreds of hospitals on the MEDHOST platform to attempt to locate and incorporate additional health records for a patient presenting in your facility.
• SureScripts Integration – Our EHR interoperability integrates with the SureScripts network, allowing users to pull prescription history for the patient as a part of the E-Prescribing and Medical Reconciliation workflow. This contributes to increased patient safety, lower costs, and improved quality of care.

Connecting the Community

MEDHOST can streamline the care coordination process between the Clinic and the Hospital ensuring the seamless scheduling and referrals of order services through Clinical Gateway and Community Bridge:

• Cloud based scheduling solution that ensures you capture revenue opportunities from referring clinics.
• Electronic bi-directional transfer of laboratory and radiology orders and results.

Patient Access and Engagement

• FHIR APIs – Our APIs, utilizing OAuth 2, are available to developers to support third-party applications efforts to provide access and services to patients so they can have additional ways to view and interact with their health record.
• Patient Portal – Designed to improve availability of health information, our YourCareCommunity® patient portal enables patients to easily manage their own health. With the health record in their control, they can securely transmit, download, and distribute their records as needed.
• Integration of Fitness Data and External Health Apps – MEDHOST’s Patient Engagement Platform, allows patients to build upon their health record by consolidating health and activity data from their apps and devices or wearables like Fitbit, Jawbone, Garmin, or a glucometer.

Public Health Reporting

• Certified Public Health and Clinical Data Registry reporting – MEDHOST supports federal and state initiatives to further population health management by offering 2015 edition CEHRT interfaces for:
  • Immunization reporting
  • Syndromic surveillance
  • Electronic lab reporting
  • Public health surveys
• Managed Integration Services – MEDHOST provides a cloud-based, managed service for the electronic flow of data, and supports an organization’s independent data exchange and interface requirements.
