The new software-as-a-service application connects referring physicians to registered imaging provider order lists, bringing clarity to proper exam selection and reimbursement coding, the vendor says.
“EVO combines biometric, clinical, behavior, psychometric and lifestyle data to deliver an engaging, lifelong personalized wellness experience,” the vendor’s CEO says.
With new APIs, IT departments at health systems and hospitals can extend imaging and imaging data into other applications such as population health or reporting tools, the vendor says.
NTT announced at HIMSS17 it is expanding its relationship with Oracle to include cloud capabilities for Oracle’s healthcare analytics platform.
The goal of the new relationship, announced at HIMSS17, is to help hospitals and health systems simplify and modernize their information output infrastructures, the vendors say.
‘In our industry, you have to keep innovating,’ said Rometty about her experience at Big Blue for more than three decades.
The new backup service offering enables healthcare organizations to quickly, easily and securely use the cloud to protect and recover mission-critical application data, the vendors said.
The new system is designed to help providers handle the complexity of managing and modeling payer contracts while ensuring accurate payment from claim creation through the appeal process.
Verato announced at HIMSS17 this week a partnership with RightPatient to together offer a cloud-based system that addresses the comprehensive challenge of patient identity – spanning every point of encounter and extending through every repository of pre-existing medical records and information, Verato said.
The partnership integrates RightPatient’s biometric patient identification platform with the Verato cloud-based patient matching platform to recognize a patient automatically at the moment of encounter and link that patient to all of his or her data distributed across systems. The partnership provides enterprises a single point of convergence for the full lifecycle of patient data, according to the vendors.
RightPatient’s biometric technology handles the front-end portion of the patient identity issue, which is how to accurately identify a patient and ensure retrieval of the correct medical record. RightPatient uses a biometrics and deep-learning engine that claims to eliminate errors at the point of identity capture, the vendor contended. RightPatient technology integrates with popular electronic health records systems including Epic, as well as with many patient portals, telehealth platforms and self-service applications, the vendor said.
Verato’s cloud-based matching handles the back-end portion of the patient identity issue, which is the linking of all pre-existing data to the correct identity. Verato’s technology is based on a type of matching called “referential matching” that uses a universal nationwide reference database as its answer key, the vendor explained. Referential matching can link identities across systems and between enterprises, even in the presence of major data differences, time differences, errors and thin data that prevent other matching technologies from matching, Verato said.
Big Blue also announced value-based care solutions, Watson Health consulting services and a partnership with Atrius Health.
