Description

MedUnity, innovator of the first public Nationwide Health Information Exchange (HIE) and fax service for the secure delivery of Electronic Healthcare Record information, announced today its selection by Praxis Electronic Medical Records to be their exclusive provider of HIE and fax services for the forthcoming Praxis 5. Richard Low, MD, Praxis CEO and founder announced “It is clear that while the efficient creation and management of electronic medical records is a critical component to improving healthcare outcomes, it is also imperative that physicians are able to share these records instantly and securely with any and all members of the medical community. Up until now physicians were limited to sharing their medical records via fax or within closed-loop communities of users on similar systems.” “After reviewing all the information exchange solutions out there, we found that MedUnity had by far the most flexible interface engine and approach, allowing a text-free based system like Praxis to easily interface with template-based EMRs or any other system whatever it may be. Because this is a service, there is nothing our customers have to build or install other than the Praxis EMR. MedUnity is the only HIE service we found that also features fax services assuring information delivery to off-network practices. It is very exciting that all Praxis customers will be able to exchange their EMR/EHR information with any member of the US medical community regardless of what system they may or may not have. We were further convinced that MedUnity was the right choice as they will be working with the state HIN’s ensuring our customers are able to transparently participate in the state initiatives as well.” “We are very excited about being selected by Praxis EMR”, said Christopher Bushing, MedUnity’s CEO. “Praxis’ leadership position within the EMR/EHR industry, as demonstrated by their first place ranking in the 2009 American Academy of Family Physicians' (AAFP) Family Practice Management EHR User Satisfaction Survey, further supports our decision to align ourselves with this innovative company”. “By implementing our web-services API into Praxis EMR, thousands of their customers will soon be able to send and receive electronic medical records securely with little or no disruption to their existing workflow while meeting the HITECH “electronic information exchange” requirement and allowing for backward compatibility with faxing. The MedUnity solution creates an easy migration path from fax and paper based communications to secure, electronic-based communications for the same cost as their existing fax-based solutions” according to Bushing. MedUnity - an Innovative Company Focusing on HIE Solutions for the EMR Industry MedUnity’s SMREx service is an innovative internet-based Health Information Exchange and fax service that allows any member of the healthcare community to send and receive multiple electronic medical documents instantly and securely for about the same monthly cost as a single fax line.
