HCS, Eclipsys align for medication management platform

Health Care Systems (HCS) will join Eclipsys’ Helios application developer program, giving Eclipsys' clients the opportunity to update their medication reconciliation workflows without additional technologies.

By integrating HCS' medication reconciliation software on the Helios platform, HCS, of Farmingdale, N.J., plans to offer Eclipsys clients the option to eliminate interfaces and obtain a consolidated view of the patient's prescription history record, according to Eclipsys, based in Atlanta.

HCS possesses business relationships with retail pharmacies, payors, pharmacy benefit managers and Medicaid that enable HCS' medication reconciliation software to capture and deliver to hospital clinicians a patient's prior medication history, including medication fill and refill information, along with a master patient index to verify identity, according to Eclipsys.

Building HCS' software in an integrated environment on the Eclipsys platform will serve to combine the patient's prescription history into one location within the Eclipsys EHR while reducing key strokes, Eclipsys added.
