Carolinas health system chooses Medicity for HIE creation

Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS), a healthcare organization affiliated with 32 hospitals in North Carolina and South Carolina, has selected Medicity as its partner to build a multi-state health information exchange (HIE).

Carolinas HealthCare System is expanding on its prior implementation of Medicity's Novo Grid by deploying the full suite of HIE tools to connect entities across CHS, and to facilitate sharing of data to assist in improving provider communication, continuity of care, patient safety and the quality of care provided to patients.

Medicity's technologies will enable CHS to share relevant inpatient and ambulatory data with community physicians and other caregivers across the care continuum,
utilizing EHRs and extending access to a longitudinal health record to physicians and other caregivers, according to the Charlotte, N.C.-based CHS.
