Axial Exchange care transition products now available for cloud deployment

Axial Exchange, Inc. announced that its award-winning care transition products are now available for cloud deployment. The private cloud infrastructure scales to thousands of hospitals and clinics and millions of patients, and already has been validated by multi-hospital health systems as well as Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers. By embracing a private cloud infrastructure, Axial Exchange is helping providers to build a bridge toward the future of health IT where care transition data is simple, interactive, readily accessed, and secure.

“Change is accelerating and health care providers need to get ahead of the wave with modern software that supports future applications that haven't yet been defined. Axial is the exact solution for these changing times”

Health care reform has introduced new expectations about care coordination across institutional walls - with emphasis on providing information to deepen patient engagement and reduce readmissions. Axial's cloud infrastructure is purpose-built to accommodate the changing nature of health care delivery. In the past, hospitals and practices operated independently of one another with little sharing of patient information. The legacy technology systems they used were designed to keep information inside of an institution with little or no accommodation for data exchange beyond firewalls.

Powered by its cloud infrastructure, Axial's flagship solutions, Axial Provider and Axial Patient provide an extensible environment that enables stakeholders from a variety of institutions to collaborate on patient health without sacrificing privacy and security. It incorporates security throughout its subsystems, along with secure VPN communication across firewalls. The infrastructure supports encryption from server-to-browser all the way down to the database.

Built on open standards and highly scalable architecture, Axial Exchange's environment allows the company to readily introduce new applications on its secure infrastructure - and present them in ways that are relevant to specific users, from trauma surgeons, primary care physicians, case managers, to patients and caregivers. The architecture features an n-tier design that separates data, logic, and display - a modular approach that allows for reusable services and also avoids a single point of failure. It fulfills the promise of cloud computing for health care communities, and for creating affordable and flexible care transition networks that send data where you want it, when you need it.

"Change is accelerating and health care providers need to get ahead of the wave with modern software that supports future applications that haven't yet been defined. Axial is the exact solution for these changing times," said Joanne Rohde, CEO, Axial Exchange, Inc. "Our 100% embrace of the cloud positions Axial as a vendor that can act as a bridge between the past where data silos within legacy EHRs were the only option -and toward a future that we are already delivering --where we enabled flexible care coordination without compromising safety or security."
