Louisiana hospital taps RelayHealth HIE

St. Tammany Parish Hospital (STPH) in Covington, La., has selected RelayHealth as its partner to build a community-wide health information exchange (HIE) connecting its physicians.

The nonprofit, 222-bed community hospital plans to leverage RelayHealth as the hospital moves toward accountable care organization (ACO) status and increases the electronic services that it offers to its community physicians, Atlanta-based RelayHealth stated.

With RelayHealth scheduled for deployment this month, the STPH HIE will support:

  • Delivery of clinical documents;
  • Lab and test results;
  • E-prescribing; and
  • Colleague-to-colleague messaging.
