MedLink (OTCQB: MLKNA), a leading provider of clinical software and
healthcare IT solutions, and Thrasys, Inc., a provider of
next-generation health information technology and solutions,
announced today that the SunCoast RHIO has joined the Connect HIN -
Florida Health Information Network (FLHIN). FLHIN is a health
information network collaboration launched in the state of Florida
by MedLink and Thrasys as part of the ConnectHIN initiative.
ConnectHIN is a connected health initiative that allows
interoperability of health records and coordination of care across
disparate care communities and Health Information Exchanges (HIE).
The FLHIN will interoperate with the State of Florida's Health
Information Network.
The FLHIN will provide interoperability, connectivity and
applications to help coordinate care by connecting physicians,
hospitals, ancillary providers, service centers, patients, and
payers, and enable information sharing and care coordination across
connected care communities throughout Florida. The SunCoast RHIO
will leverage its participation in the FLHIN to enable the RHIO to
expand its network in Florida, while offering Accountable Care
Organizations (ACOs) and other healthcare organizations a turnkey
technology platform for connectivity and collaboration as
participants in FLHIN.
The FLHIN is based on the ConnectHIN coordinated care platform
and will enable the SunCoast RHIO to provide application services
that can be configured to support tasks and workflows for different
roles within a health network -- physicians, nurses, laboratory
technicians, pharmacists, patients, front-office personnel,
schedulers, system administrators, and so on. Application services
provided through the FLHIN include capabilities to exchange
information, coordinate workflows and interoperate; create and
manage unique identities (persons, physicians and other resources);
register persons/patients and check-in visits; access and update
demographic and clinical information; place orders and manage
clinical workflows; implement rules with decision support; schedule
local and global resources; capture charges; automate revenue cycle
processes; send alerts and notifications; and assist the State and
its vendors with gathering and meeting requirements for quality and
public health reporting. The FLHIN also provides interfaces to
existing hospital information and departmental systems to enable
information exchange and coordination across in-patient and
out-patient care.
"We are excited to join with MedLink and Thrasys and participate
in the ConnectHIN FLHIN. The Connect Health Information Network
technology platform implements many innovations needed for the
future of health information technology and has been proven in
large-scale deployments worldwide," stated Lou Galterio, President
of SunCoast RHIO. "The SunCoast RHIO has been using products from
MedLink for Electronic Medical Records, repositories, and
information exchange for over a year now focusing on our New York
to Florida snowbird population and providers in the two states. It
is a natural fit to add the technologies from Thrasys to the mix so
we can expand our base and complement other activities in our
region. This will help us to work closely with other RHIOs,
Exchanges, Hospitals, providers, and the State through their HIE
implementation effort contracted with Harris Corporation and
continue to give us exposure to other opportunities beyond
Florida."
