The partnership began in September, and the first components of the health information exchange are expected to be ready by early 2014.

“We will work with Sandlot Solutions to measurably improve the quality and quantity of clinical data provided to caregivers across our community,” said Bruce Hall, CIO of Augusta Health, in a news release. “They can help us achieve our goals to provide patients and physicians with information to allow them to make the best decisions for their care and treatment through features such as seamless integration with our Meditech environment and collection of both clinical and claims data to provide relevant, targeted patient information at the point of care.”
