Covisint Healthcare
There is an information-sharing crisis throughout the U.S. healthcare industry. The Institute of Medicine estimates that between forty-four thousand and ninety-eight thousand Americans die each year from preventable medical errors. Up to one-fifth of those errors are caused by lack of immediate access to patient healthcare information across the care delivery system. So when we say the transformation of healthcare IT is a life-and-death issue, it’s not just a figure of speech.
There are many obstacles: the IT infrastructure doesn’t support information sharing because it involves a wide range of systems and applications, in many locations requiring multiple logins. And there are so many different means of sharing information, from complex point-to-point systems to phone, fax, e-mail and courier.
The result: time wasted, staff frustrated, providers unwilling to adopt new technology, patient dissatisfaction, increased costs and low-care quality. This must change.

The benefits? You’ll have a centralized, auditable security and privacy framework. You’ll be insulated from the problem of complex security requirements. You’ll improve application adoption and usability within your community. And, you’ll be able to manage the cost of adding additional users.
AGGREGATION OF INFORMATION AND DATA
With Covisint, your community and groups of users can receive aggregated views of information and data required, such as medication history, lab results and allergies. Even though the data may come from different sources, Covisint users see this information in one centralized view, presented in a comprehensive patient dashboard.
COLLABORATION & NETWORKING
With Covisint, your community can collaborate and exchange secure e-mail, files and paper images to assist with consultations, referrals, medical management and many other healthcare workflows. You’ll benefit through improved clinical and administrative information exchange and seamless continuity of care, as well as the increased employee productivity and reduced costs from cutting mail handling, fax and phone time.
