MHIN Physicians to Benefit from New Technology

October 6, 2006 - Michiana Health Information Network (MHIN) has selected Axolotl's e2 technology to securely deliver information to physicians in MHINs' network. Founded in 1998, MHIN encompasses northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan. Physicians in MHIN's service area will receive laboratory, radiology, ADT, and transcription data from multiple hospitals, reference laboratories and imaging centers, along with secure messaging across the community. Data will be delivered to physicians in ways that align with their current workflow, whether that means sending the data to their existing fax and line printers, to the Axolotl - MHIN application or to their electronic medical record. "MHIN wants to assure the highest quality of healthcare for the people in our community," stated Alan Snell, MD, MMM, president, MHIN Board and chief medical information officer, Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center. "We envision a dependable integrated electronic health system -- by adding Axolotl's proven technology we have a great opportunity to rapidly deploy a secure messaging and results distribution platform. Jay McCutcheon, a founding member of MHIN, added, "Adoption by service providers and physicians is a key ingredient in realizing the benefits of health information networks. Result delivery, physician to physician referrals and inter-organizational orders provide the essential prerequisite building blocks to long term success of regional exchanges."
