Validic, a leading interoperability platform for aggregating digital health data, announced an alignment with MEDITECH to integrate clinical, fitness, and wellness data to help deliver more efficient remote patient monitoring, home care, patient discharge management and wellness initiatives.
“Today’s healthcare environment is value-based and outcome-driven, which means healthcare providers need to evaluate every aspect of their patients’ health, not just those factors that contributed to their latest doctor’s appointment. Millions of people are now using many available mobile wellness applications, so we’re leveraging Validic’s digital health platform to capture that clinical and fitness data and seamlessly integrate it into the patient’s electronic health record. Providers will have a fuller, more complete understanding of their patients’ health and habits, ultimately benefiting providers and patients alike,” said Howard Messing, President and Chief Executive Officer of MEDITECH.
In the current healthcare environment, many companies are trying to solve the problem of integrating, managing and updating connections to the rapidly expanding ecosystem of mobile health technologies. Validic has helped its clients overcome this challenge by successfully delivering secure, standardized and actionable data for integration into clients’ health technology systems, electronic medical records, patient engagement portals, and wellness applications.
For providers, access to this patient-generated data is helping them better manage the health of their population, increase patient engagement, improve discharge programs and outcomes, and implement chronic disease analytics. Pharmaceutical companies are improving clinical trials and trial recruiting. They are also using this verified data to create patient communities around specific diseases. Preventative wellness companies are using mobile health data to create incentive programs, health engagement programs, and wellness challenges.
Validic continues to power digital health initiatives for hospitals and health plans like Kaiser Permanente, UPMC and Sutter Health; pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Merck; wellness companies like Everyday Health and Vitality; and, health IT vendors like Alere, Harris Corp, Cerner and now, MEDITECH.
