dbMotion to exhibit connected healthcare solutions at HIMSS 2010

dbMotion, a provider of health interoperability solutions, announced its participation at HIMSS 2010, March 1-4 in Atlanta, Ga., both as an exhibitor (Booth 6023) and as a featured contributor to the Interoperability Showcase—demonstrating how providers can achieve meaningful data-sharing across a range of healthcare settings. Participation in the Interoperability Showcase comes on the heels of dbMotion’s successful completion of interoperability testing at the 11th Annual IHE North American Connectathon in Chicago.

“The growing suite of dbMotion applications is designed specifically to bridge the gap between community-based and acute care”

Advanced solutions from dbMotion are designed to deliver genuinely connected healthcare by facilitating care coordination and population management. Integrated applications and tools, based on the SOA-based dbMotion interoperability platform, deliver vital patient information to the right provider at the right place and time, in a semantically harmonized format. Significantly, dbMotion enables providers to achieve connected healthcare by leveraging existing health information systems – and so avoid an expensive “rip-and-replace” single-vendor strategy – while delivering the flexibility and scalability necessary to meet future needs.

“Visionary leaders have recognized that sustainable quality improvement can be achieved via a patient-centered healthcare system,” says Peter McClennen, dbMotion’s president for North America. “This requires increased reliance upon healthcare IT, and the ability for providers across the entire care continuum to have ready access to current and comprehensive patient data. dbMotion’s connected healthcare solutions remove barriers by enabling providers to understand and make use of information that has been generated by disparate systems throughout the community resulting in improvements in quality, efficiency and service.”

Long recognized as a leader in interoperability with a track record of successful cross-enterprise implementations since 2001, dbMotion will introduce new applications built upon the dbMotion platform at the upcoming HIMSS conference, such as:

• Clinical Views™ with enhanced tools for medications reconciliation and discrete actionable data. Clinicians are now able to review patient medications from the community record and perform a complete reconciliation. Additionally, clinicians are able to select pieces of the medical record found in the community and import them into their point of care system via a direct feed of discrete data or transmission of a Continuity of Care Document (CCD), thus enabling existing workflows within legacy systems;
• dbMotion™ SmartWatch™, a population-based data analysis and monitoring framework that enables organizations and users to monitor populations of patients across time, systems and across the continuum of care. With SmartWatch, clinicians can monitor disease outbreaks, manage clinical quality across care lines or trigger actions for social service issues including drug or child abuse;
• dbMotion™ CareBoard™, a “physician desktop” that hosts a physician-oriented inbox to manage physician workflow and allow clinicians to create tasks for medical events, SmartWatch alerts and clinical reminders. CareBoard allows clinicians to create care notes, manage referrals and consultations and monitor admitted patients. CareBoard distributes results to clinicians and serves as an on-ramp to connected healthcare, and;
• dbMotion’s™ SDK, a complete software development kit that allows users to access the power of the SOA-based platform to create their own applications utilizing the patient information residing within the community record.

“The growing suite of dbMotion applications is designed specifically to bridge the gap between community-based and acute care,” McClennen adds. “Our mission is to place the power of information into the hands of the providers so they can respond to the challenges of a rapidly changing healthcare environment.”
