Kansas HIE signs deal for ICA software
Kansas Health Information Network (KHIN) has inked a deal with Informatics Corporation of America (ICA) to use ICA's software to provide health information exchange (HIE) services statewide.
KHIN will provide HIE services using ICA's CareAlign software to the state of Kansas and portions of western Missouri to align state-designated mandates, according to ICA, of Nashville, Tenn. ICA's software will enable healthcare providers to securely access medical records from practices across the state.
The CareAlign system can receive standardized as well as non-standard data. Discrete data are stored as individual data elements, and unstructured data are tagged with identifying indicators and stored for appropriate display, query and reporting, ICA stated.
