The Rheumatology app was initially developed by Geisinger to connect to the system’s Epic EHR platform. Now, the app is interoperable with Cerner’s EHR platform as well.
To connect the app to the Cerner platform, Geisinger, along with xG Health Solutions, a Geisinger-based company that commercializes the system’s innovations, used new draft international standards that let apps with a certain interface exchange information in real-time with an open-source-enabled EHR.
Geisinger and xG Health Solutions plan to make such apps available to other healthcare systems in the coming years to help bolster the interoperable environment.
