MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ABILITY Network Inc™, the nation’s largest and most secure web-based health network, announced today that gloStream has selected ABILITY’s DirectABILITY for secure and direct communications transport. DirectABILITY will be integrated into gloEMR, gloStream’s flagship electronic medical record solution, as well as gloSuite, gloStream’s integrated EMR and practice management offering. The end result will be seamless workflow efficiency for end-users to securely exchange health information data with patients and other healthcare professionals and entities.
“We selected ABILITY as our healthcare communications partner because of their unique offerings and extensive industry experience,” said Piyush Khanna, gloStream’s chief information officer. “With DirectABILITY, our doctor clients will have access to a fabulous tool that will help them provide better care and also become more efficient and productive practitioners.”
ABILITY’s involvement with secure and direct healthcare communications is well established. Early in 2011, the first meaningful use transaction sending an immunization update from Hennepin County Medical Center to the Minnesota State Department of Health using Direct Protocol was sent using DirectABILITY.
ABILITY, in addition to being charged with providing the infrastructure to streamline the exchange of healthcare data for the benefit of patients, providers, and payers throughout Minnesota as a Minnesota Department of Health certified Health Data Intermediary (HDI), powers the secure exchange of information for several Regional Extension Centers and Health Information Networks. Those RECs and HINs include: the Rhode Island Regional Extension Center Marketplace, the Wisconsin Statewide Health Information Network (WISHIN), and the Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN).
“ABILITY is excited to offer DirectABILITY via our Secure Application Program Interface (API) to provide gloStream’s EMR product the ability to seamlessly integrate Direct functionality and improve communication among providers, their patients and health organizations,” said Mark Briggs, CEO of ABILITY. “We continue to advance this important functionality to improve communication efficiencies and reduce costs within the healthcare industry.”
