In a new agreement, BT and Medsphere Systems Corp. will jointly promote Medsphere's OpenVista EHR as a software-as-a-service model.
Medsphere develops and implements VistA-derived EHR solutions outside the Department of Veterans Affairs. BT provides communications services and solutions.
"Hospitals are moving away from localized servers and onsite support to reliable remote access. With this relationship, Medsphere and BT are meeting the needs of all hospitals," said Liv Lichtenwald, president and CEO of Medsphere.
