A look at which candidates Allscripts, athenahealth, Cerner, Epic and McKesson donated money to support, either directly or via Super PACs. The biggest donor, by more than $800,000, just might surprise you.

The company said it will use the funding to advance its HIPAA compliant and HITRUST certified platform for exchanging protected health information.

Curavi Health offers tools that enable clinicians to remotely connect with patients via camera, Bluetooth stethoscope, digital otoscope and technologies.  

CEO Jonathan Bush said athenaInsight will mine the company’s network of providers and patients to determine what works at high-performing hospitals as well as the drivers of physician engagement and public health trends.

The organizations are building a research laboratory for brain-inspired machine comprehension to develop systems that mimic certain human abilities.

Cavulus cloud-based services can help insurance companies automate marketing, sales, enrollment, retention and compliance.

The hospital system intends to streamline billing and clinical documentation, give patients a single record and use that to analyze population-level data, officials said.

The initiative will offer advanced technologies and genomic profiling to nearly 150 hospitals, focusing first on cancer treatment, hospital executives said.

The new technology taps open standards to help customers streamline application integration and move from fee-for-service to value-based reimbursement, McKesson executives said.  

The hospital system said it will deploy Epic’s Healthy Planet to enable clinicians to gather patient information across multiple data sources and perform sophisticated analytics on that information.
