Medicity,
Inc. announced today that top-ranked health system Trinity
Health, comprised of 44 hospitals and numerous healthcare facilities
in eight states, went live with the first stage of its Novo
Grid deployment – establishing electronic health information
exchange (HIE) with 297 affiliated physician practices and 991
physicians in three months.
“The unique flexibility of the Grid empowers hospital systems to connect
to disparate physician practices regardless of their level of technology
adoption”
Trinity Health’s HIE rollout to affiliated physicians began by
connecting three Michigan hospitals – St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor, St.
Joseph Mercy Livingston and St. Joseph Mercy Saline – with 297 physician
practices previously dependent on faxes for receipt of transcribed
reports. The patented
Grid technology distributes patient information directly to
computers at the physician practice. Medicity’s increasingly streamlined
deployment technology and processes facilitated this rollout on a mass
scale.
“We expect the Grid will enhance workflow efficiencies, satisfaction and
care improvement for our affiliated physician practices,” said Grace
Miller, Director of Physician Office Services at Trinity Health.
