HealthPort Partners With Summit Healthcare to Increase the Value of Its Electronic Document Management System

Posted on: Thursday, 5 June 2008, 15:00 CDT

HealthPort partners with Summit Healthcare to increase the product value of its Electronic Document Management System (HealthPort EDMS). With this partnership, HealthPort EDMS can easily interface and integrate with any application a healthcare provider utilizes.

For over 10 years, Summit Healthcare has been integrating healthcare technology products and is a proven integrator for MEDITECH's electronic medical record (EMR) system. This partnership increases HealthPort's ability to integrate its electronic document management system (EDMS) with any software application residing in a healthcare facility.

"Throughout the development of our EDMS product, we have aimed to meet the needs of facilities with various solutions installed that are still looking for a best-of-breed solution to manage their hybrid record. This partnership completes this strategic vision for the product while also increasing value across the enterprise," says Aaron Brandwein, Vice President of HealthPort EDMS.

The Summit Healthcare product monitors any application on a user's machine, and through an intelligent interface, all clinical or non-clinical documents for the patient are presented in the EDMS application. Documents are presented in context, as well.

"If a provider is in the EMR reviewing a patient's laboratory values and wants to see all historical laboratory reports for the patient, the Summit Healthcare product allows the provider to simply hit a short-cut key to present these related historical documents. They no longer have to login and browse through an entire chart to locate the laboratory results. They are simply taken to that specific section of the patient's record," states Brandwein.

"Summit is very pleased to be selected as HealthPort's integration provider. It is particularly rewarding that HealthPort's evaluation of various options resulted in their selection of our groundbreaking K2 technology product. Unlike legacy scripting alternatives, our K2 product's advanced capabilities are better suited to HealthPort's long-term goals," states Steve McDonald, VP Business Development, Summit Healthcare.

HealthPort's electronic document management system is an application that helps healthcare organizations manage both paper and electronic medical records in one centralized location. The system includes innovative features such as OCR, record locator, automated workflow, and remote coding.
