ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Orion Health, Inc., global leaders in Health Information Exchange (HIE) solutions, congratulates Maine’s HealthInfoNet, winners of Healthcare Informatics Annual IT Innovator Award, given during last nights awards ceremony held at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, Orlando.
HealthInfoNet received the 2011 IT Innovator Award from Healthcare Informatics, a CIO-level publication specializing in issues of system selection, project management, enterprise integration and change management. The award recognizes the HIE’s leadership and creativity in building a robust and comprehensive clinically based statewide health information exchange. HealthInfoNet is organized as a public-private partnership and funded by a mixture of foundations, healthcare providers, state government, and federal grants. HealthInfoNet was developed to promote and sustain an integrated and reliable health information exchange, dedicated to delivering rapid access to patient health information across points of care.
Paul Viskovich, Orion Health President North America is pleased to see the HealthInfoNet team recognized for their outstanding accomplishments and innovation in building the solution. “While the technology used to build their HIE is not unique, the application of that technology is. HealthInfoNet chose to use a ‘best of breed’ strategy in its technology vendor selection and infrastructure development, and Orion Health is proud to be a cornerstone of that infrastructure.”
In addition to offering traditional HIE services, HealthInfoNet has positioned itself to support implementation of medical homes and Accountable Care Organizations (ACO). It is also standardizing the clinical data within the exchange and translating it into standard terms, something other HIEs do not currently offer their participants.”
