The Indiana Health Information Exchange and St. Vincent Medical Group, based in Indianapolis, are collaborating to send patient tests, labs and clinical results directly to the group's athenahealth EHR.
"Making the physician's job easier is the right thing to do for the patient," said Richard Fogel, MD, chief clinical officer of St. Vincent Medical Group. "This solution can help improve our efficiency by working within our existing system and enhancing the provider-patient relationship so that each interaction is as productive as possible."
Through this new partnership, St. Vincent Medical Group's more than 900 physicians will be able to receive clinical information when patients receive care at other provider locations throughout the state.
