California network connects 250 docs to Medicity HIE
Healthcare network Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, Calif., has connected 250 providers to its health information exchange (HIE) five months after beginning rollout of Medicity's Novo Grid technology.
According to the healthcare network, Hoag's HIE currently distributes laboratory, radiology, pathology, transcribed reports and face sheets to both paper-based practices and those using EHRs. Community providers without EHRs can access and print patient information via a web-based application.
Hoag has also implemented Medicity's ProAccess Community application and MediTrust Cloud Services and is aggregating data in a live environment to establish a community health record where Hoag will roll out access to this record to a pilot group in January 2011, the organization added.
