Because of changing reimbursement models, healthcare providers are increasingly consolidating into larger integrated delivery networks, hoping to achieve economies of scale and operating efficiency. However, consolidation has become more difficult because providers have a variety of information systems in place, many of which are mission-critical. For healthcare organizations, bringing together these systems and the vital information they contain is a daunting task.
Additionally, the need to gather data and share it across an expanding spectrum of care providers has grown along with current efforts to increase availability of home care, community-based interventions, and behavioral health resources. This need has accelerated sharply with recent government programs centered around care delivery reform.
InterSystems HealthShare® is a health informatics platform and family of solutions that enable interoperability across multiple systems and data formats, making it possible to capture, share, understand, and act on large volumes of structured and unstructured health information. The platform is used by private hospitals and health systems, regional and statewide health information exchanges, and entire nations to achieve more coordinated, more connected care.
