AXOLOTL RELEASES ELYSIUM EDGESERVER FOR HOSPITALS AND
REFERENCE LABS
Immediate connectivity to EMRs, RHIO's and Nationwide Health
Information Networks with proven Elysium (e2) Technology
Mountain View, CA, January 16, 2007 — Responding to overwhelming
demand for clinical connectivity, Axolotl Corp. has released version
2.1 of its Elysium EdgeServer which can be deployed separately from
its related Elysium infrastructure. The EdgeServer is a non-intrusive,
independent yet fully integrated application that links hospital and
lab information systems to the ambulatory care community.
"The new Elysium EdgeServer demonstrates that the Markle Foundation's
Common Framework and federated model is a viable, cost-effective and
achievable strategy," shared Ray Scott, CEO of Axolotl. "Nearly
a decade of Axolotl engineering experience in pioneering HIEs has
culminated in an elegant solution to this complex problem. A virtual
community-wide health record is made available using federated data
repositories. The EdgeServer sits on the edge of hospital networks
enabling rapid deployment of information exchange services at a fraction
of the time and cost of other solutions."
Axolotl's Elysium EdgeServer technology provides:
- Rapid installation and easy operation - Up and running in
days, Elysium EdgeServer easily integrates with legacy systems.
- Push and pull information exchange - The EdgeServer technology
includes both delivery (push) and query (pull) modes of information
exchange, providing flexibility for the deploying institution to distribute
clinical information electronically as well as providing a repository
of entity data that can intelligently respond to outside queries.
- Immediate and seamless connections to ambulatory EMR applications
- Physicians are choosing from a growing market of ambulatory EMRs and
are demanding that hospitals and labs provide patient data for integration
into these systems. The EdgeServer's Clinical Messaging® service
pushes results and reports to all commercially available ambulatory
EMRs reducing integration work to a minimum.
- Preserves and enhances current investment in legacy systems
- The EdgeServer sits alongside existing HIS, CIS, Inpatient EMRs and
Gateway infrastructures, responding to queries from outside the hospital
network, and protecting mission critical hospital and clinical information
systems from potentially damaging performance hits. Its HL7 data mapping,
translation and codification services relieve institutions from concerns
that legacy systems can meet new information exchange standards.
- Federated model enables participation in regional, state, and national
information exchange initiatives - Elysium EdgeServer used the model
of federated data storage recommended by the Markle foundation for HIE.
Patient data is not commingled. Healthcare entities retain complete
control over the patient information that is released in response to
queries from the community network, and wider, re-assuring privacy officers
while enabling virtual views of patients' health records for community
physicians.
This new release of the Elysium EdgeServer is fully operational at
two independent hospitals in the Quality Health Network RHIO in Grand
Junction, Colorado. The Elysium EdgeServer can be licensed for internal
use or is available in ASP mode, with full support and maintenance.
Axolotl is already working on medication history and other clinical
services which will be made available in a future release.
"The level of interest from HIS vendors is very high," says
Sam Godwin, vice president of channel sales at Axolotl. "We are
in discussions to OEM this technology - enhancing their already successful
product lines."
