Community Health System Selects Allscripts dbMotion as Foundation for Clinically Integrated Network
01 May 2015 - 6:01AM
Community Health System (CHS) in Munster Ind., U.S.A., has selected
Allscripts (Nasdaq:MDRX) dbMotion™ to serve as the foundation of
its clinically integrated network. The three-hospital system is
building the network to connect with its newly formed Community
Healthcare Partners group and the state health information
exchange, with the goal of ultimately improving quality of care.
Community Healthcare System is a nonprofit organization caring
for patients throughout Northwest Indiana, and is comprised of
Community Hospital in Munster, St. Catherine Hospital in East
Chicago and St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart. Community Healthcare
Partners is the clinically integrated healthcare provider network
that unites independent and employed physicians with Community
Healthcare System's hospitals. This network brings together more
than 600 area physicians to collaborate on ways to improve the
quality of care, patient satisfaction and efficiency of healthcare
costs.
The Allscripts dbMotion platform is expected to provide
extensive interoperability across the multitude of disparate
electronic health records (EHR) deployed throughout the broader
area, including Community Healthcare System's acute EHR. This
interoperability will help enable the healthcare system to meet the
visionary objectives of its clinically integrated network project,
namely achieving community-wide data sharing, care coordination and
population health management.
"We evaluated a number of vendors and solutions to help us build
our clinically integrated network," said Gary Weiner, Community
Healthcare System's Chief Information Officer. "We were determined
to find a platform that would enable us to efficiently and
effectively share the data instrumental to our success. Allscripts
dbMotion was the clear choice. It aggregates and harmonizes data
from virtually all of the EHRs in the community and delivers
actionable information directly into the providers' workflow at the
point of care."
In addition to the core functionality, Community Healthcare
System will also use Allscripts dbMotion's Collaborate and Clinical
Analytics Gateway (CAG) functionality. Collaborate allows the care
team to filter and sort lists of patients, and develop action plans
to close gaps in care and improve coordination. CAG will help
enable the healthcare system to use its existing analytics
technologies for better population health management, as well as
improved clinical and operational performance.
"Our clinically integrated network will be dedicated to ensuring
that our patients get the best care possible," said Alan Kumar, MD,
Chief Medical Information Officer, Community Healthcare System. "We
recognize how important data aggregation is to overall patient
care. The Allscripts dbMotion platform gives us the tools we need
to genuinely impact quality and to create a progressive environment
for better coordination and collaboration among caregivers."
"The concept of clinically integrated networks is gaining
momentum across the industry as visionary leaders like Community
Healthcare System's Chief Operating Officer John Gorski and his
senior executive team drive efforts for better patient care and
population health management," said Martha Thorne, Senior Vice
President and General Manager of Population Health Management at
Allscripts. "Our solutions are well positioned to help Community
Healthcare System achieve its objectives, and we are committed to
this partnership and to the success of the Community Healthcare
Partners."
