Patient Health Record Exchange

Our vision for higher interoperability standards supports the exchange of data in every care setting. MEDHOST supports these exchanges through:

• CCDA 2.1 Support – Enables the latest CCDA version and multiple document templates, allowing hospitals to facilitate improved patient care coordination.
• Direct Messaging – Utilizing millions of endpoints on the Direct Trust Network, our Community Mail application supports the secure communication and bi-directional exchange of healthcare documents, provider-to-provider across organizations as well as provider-to-patient.
• Automated transition of care – MEDHOST helps hospitals save time and reduce disruptions by automating notifications to primary care physicians concerning their patient’s hospital visits.
• Cross-platform query and retrieve – With patient consent, healthcare facilities can automate queries across hundreds of hospitals on the MEDHOST platform to locate and incorporate additional health records for their patients.
• SureScripts Integration – Interoperability integration with the SureScripts network allows users to pull prescription history for patients as a part of their e-prescription and medical reconciliation workflow. This contributes to increased patient safety, lower costs, and improved quality of care.

Connecting the Community

Through online portals like Clinical Gateway and YourCare ContinuumTM, MEDHOST can streamline the care coordination process between the clinic and hospital settings to ensure seamless scheduling and referrals of order services:

• 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 – Developers seeking to use third-party applications to support improved patient access and services can do so with APIs that utilize OAuth 2. These integrations allow facilities to discover new ways patients can view and interact with their health records.
• Patient Portal – Designed to improve the availability of health information, our YourCare Community® patient portal empowers patients to take a more active role in their care. Providing patients with access to their own records allows them to transmit securely, download, and distribute health data as needed.
• Integration of fitness data and external health apps – Patient Engagement Platform allows patients to build upon their health record by consolidating health and activity data from apps and wearable devices 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 – A full-service cloud-based solution for managing the flow of electronic data. This service also supports an organization’s independent data exchange and interface requirements.
