As a physician, your top priority is delivering high quality, cost effective patient care and optimizing your practice efficiency and productivity.

With a click of the mouse, our solutions provide authorized physicians with or without an EHR system seamless access to patient information from as many places as possible such as hospitals, labs, pharmacies, specialists, long term care and home care organizations, consulting physicians, and care team members.  The information is presented quickly and in a user-friendly fashion based on clinical need and workflow to improve practice productivity and efficiency.  Information can be aggregated from disparate systems in a clinically meaningful way in order to apply analytics such as clinical decision support and other care management and quality tools to gain insight from the information and inform care.

 

Whether within an enterprise, clinically integrated organization or new accountable care structure, real-time, clinically meaningful health information exchange and management are foundational to your success over the next 5 years.

With the federal government's current Meaningful Use regulations for health information exchange and electronic health records and funding of new care models such as accountable care organizations, our solutions not only meet your near-term goals but also prepare you for the future. 

We connect providers and physicians – affiliated or referring, within your own growing enterprise or surrounding community, state or nation– so data is delivered seamlessly to the entire continuum of care including care transitions, public health departments, and payers if needed.  Our goal is to preserve your current IT infrastructure investment and build upon it assuring all the necessary tools and services to gain a competitive advantage.

We connect systems like existing EHRs, labs, scheduling and offer broad access to a new-generation of systems to improve the usability and functionality of information and workflow tools needed by providers and emerging accountable care organizations to support new models of care. 

We collect data across disparate systems and aggregate and standardize it in a clinically meaningful way so you can gain insight and improve care at the patient and population level.

Survival will depend on providing value to the providers and patients you serve every step of the way and delivering a high quality, self-sustaining solution.

With various messages from the federal government about Health Information Exchange (HIE) as it relates to Meaningful Use regulations and the report from the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) on a path forward for health IT, our solutions can assure stakeholders of your value and the speed with which you deliver it to achieve your goals.

A high quality, self-sustaining HIE solution, like GSI Health’s, must be more than a router or a switch or “pull” or “push”, it must also provide for the ability to thread together multiple applications into composite solutions by passing along or “propagating” data and workflow rules among them in an open and non-proprietary fashion as well as aggregate and normalize data in a clinically meaningful way.
