Rush Health includes four hospitals, more than 1,100 physician members and 350 non-physician network clinicians. The HealthShare platform provides stakeholders the option of using their own EHR systems to exchange information. The platform also has alert and notification system capabilities as well as an integrated master patient index.
“Implementation of our HIE is critical to Rush Health’s transition to value-based care. It will serve as the hub for all care coordination activities, triggered by real-time monitoring of quality, resource use and cost,” said Brent Estes, CEO of Rush Health, in a statement. “It will fill in any gaps in our members’ EHRs.”
