Tech Giants Offer Online Health Records
Oakland Business Review
Thursday March 20, 2008 - The medical community may be slow to adapt to electronic medical records, but tech companies are jumping in to try to grab the niche.

Detroit-based Covisint with partner Microsoft, and Google, have each introduced versions of Web-based health information storage and management systems.

"As consumers become more involved in their own health care decision making, it seems like a natural next step for them to seek out tools to help organize their own health information more systematically," said Robert Yellan, president of DMC Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital in Commerce. "As an example of consumer use of technology, we've seen many more examples recently of consumers using the Internet to help them choose their hospital. This seems like an extension of that trend."

Both companies made announcements at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society in Florida.

AT&T to Deliver Country's First Statewide eHealth Exchange Zone
AT&T / PR Newswire
Monday, February 25, 2008 - Leveraging technology to enhance the health care experience for patients and practitioners alike, AT&T (NYSE: T) today announced a major initiative with the State of Tennessee to deliver the country's first statewide health information exchange. The Tennessee Information Infrastructure eHealth Exchange Zone is being developed to transform how health information is accessed and delivered by the Tennessee care-giving community and, ultimately, to enable increased patient safety, reduced spending and improved quality of care for the state's 6 million residents.

The AT&T solution features a secure online collaboration center -- a Virtual Private Network (VPN)-based portal -- designed to safely and securely enable such applications as:

Prescribing pharmaceuticals online (also known as "ePrescribing").
Securing clinical messaging among the state's health care providers.
Sharing high-density images, including X-rays, MRIs and CT scans.
Exchanging patient information via portable health records, which provides patient profiles, medical history, prescriptions, etc.
Delivering telemedicine applications for remote diagnostics and care. -- Accessing Tennessee Department of Health applications, including the immunization registry, disease registries, death certificate applications and processing and medical license renewal.
Accessing other health care applications and systems, including laboratory systems.

The network has an added component especially for protecting health information provided by the Covisint OnDemand Platform. The platform is a hosted solution that provides dual-factor authentication of health care providers using the VPN-based portal, which supports HIPAA privacy requirements. It also centralizes, automates and streamlines the access to information across health care communities statewide by giving physicians the ability to use many health-information applications with a single sign-on. The platform from Covisint, a division of Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR), provides an on-demand, industry-leading infrastructure for secure collaboration and interoperability among health care providers.
