dbMotion Shines on the West Coast

Huntington Memorial Hospital and Sharp HealthCare Choose the dbMotion - Allscripts Solution to Create a Connected Health Community
Both Huntington Memorial Hospital and Sharp Healthcare selected the dbMotion (www.dbmotion.com) - Allscripts Community Solution to deliver end-to-end connectivity across the health system. Using the dbMotion solution, employed caregivers and those in affiliated physician practices with shared access to a single, unified patient record, bridging gaps that often exist between hospital-based and office-based care. This enables physicians, hospitals and other health care providers to connect and collaborate for a team approach to patient care, regardless of where they are located or which clinical technologies they use. Huntington Memorial is coining their health information exchange (HIE), Health eConnect, a platform designed with scalability in mind to meet the needs of not only Huntington Memorial Hospital but also the extended provider community. Sharp has deployed an EHR, which automates everyday clinical processes and connects providers to each other and to all healthcare stakeholders via the Internet. “We are excited that our long-term partnership with Allscripts has now been expanded to create a truly interoperable, connected health care environment,” said Bill Spooner, Chief Information Officer of Sharp and recipient of the HIMSS-CHIME "CIO of the Year" Award for 2009.
