New Jersey Health Care Organization Enhances Patient Experience with Health Record Aggregation Services

Rochester, N.Y., October 20, 2015 – Cooper University Health Care (Camden, New Jersey) selected eHealth Technologies, the leading provider of clinically informed referral solutions, to provide intelligent health record aggregation and analytics to help deliver timely and clinically appropriate treatment to each referred patient.  

eHealth Connect® Intelligent Health Record Aggregation ensures health records and images are available for patients referred to Cooper University Health Care prior to the patient’s first visit enabling clinicians to provide a care plan during the initial appointment. Neither the patient nor the family will bear the burden of ensuring that their records are available prior to their visit.

“We reach out to over 26,000 healthcare locations a month, and utilize smart software to pull together a complete integrated organized medical record. All external records are clinically optimized with highlighted clinical keywords, and images can be viewed directly. As a result our clients have experienced a 72% reduction in cancelled procedures and appointments due to having the relevant patient information available in a timely manner,” stated Chad G. Malone, M.D., eHealth Technologies’ chief strategy officer.

Dr. Malone further stated that eHealth Technologies integrates directly into a hospital’s PACS and EMR giving them access to images and records with a single click. In addition, eHealth Technologies’ customers have access to eHealth Connect® Referral Analytics whereby the available data will feed their Population Health Management Programs by providing a thorough and actionable understanding of the referral network including patient’s geographic location, their insurance providers, and their network of healthcare providers.
