InterSystems Corporation and QuadraMed Corporation today
announced a technology partnership to link QuadraMed's enterprise
master person index (EMPI) software as a component of its Ensemble HIE
(health information exchange) framework. The announcement came
simultaneously with the launch of InterSystems' Ensemble HIE at the
TEPR conference in Baltimore.
The leading database provider in healthcare, InterSystems develops and markets the CACHE post-relational database and Ensemble universal integration platform. Reston, Va.-based QuadraMed is a leading healthcare information technology provider that delivers a wide range of healthcare application software products used by healthcare providers nationwide.
Ensemble HIE combines top-tier development and integration with standards-based, healthcare-exchange-specific functionality. "Ensuring accurate patient identification has always been a major challenge in clinical data exchange among healthcare organizations and within integrated delivery networks," said Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems Vice President of Strategic Planning. "The rapid formation of Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs) and HIE networks that will eventually include hundreds, or even thousands, of providers and payers makes accurate patient identification more critical and more complex than ever before.
"QuadraMed offers an industry-leading patient matching engine with a proven track record of success. The ability to provide direct access to QuadraMed's EMPI software within the Ensemble HIE framework provides the accurate patient identification that is critical to patient safety in the healthcare delivery environment," Grabscheid continued. "We have a history of successful partnership with QuadraMed, which utilizes our CACHE database in multiple healthcare application offerings. We are extremely pleased by the opportunity to extend this highly successful relationship to address the challenges of clinical data exchange."
QuadraMed's EMPI software is being used by healthcare organizations nationwide and has been rated first in the specialty category of EMPI by KLAS, a widely recognized research firm throughout the healthcare sector.
"The high performance and massive scalability of Ensemble HIE combined with QuadraMed's patient ID technology have a synergy that is uniquely capable of resolving the complexities of patient identification in large distributed organizations like RHIOs," said Jim Klein, QuadraMed CTO. "QuadraMed's EMPI software is optimized to resolve even the most complex ID issues found among loose partners in scenarios where RHIOs are utilizing a federated or hybrid network model. With Ensemble HIE, these advanced patient identification capabilities can scale regionally and, eventually, nationally in a smoothly integrated solution that dramatically cuts the time to build a data exchange network."
