Axolotl HIE solutions connect hospital communities, health care regions, and entire states – providing complete healthcare interoperability for secure access, exchange, and management of patient information.
Axolotl Health Information Exchange (HIE) networks interconnect separate and disparate hospital IS systems and physician Electronic Health Record (EHR) software, as well as any other medical trading partners, such as pharmacies, diagnostic labs, imaging groups, visiting nurses, patients, etc. Interoperability between these systems allows instant delivery and secure receipt of comprehensive patient information wherever and whenever needed. Axolotl HIE empowers communication and collaboration to significantly improve efficiency and quality of care.
All of Axolotl HIE solutions are Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, hosted and supported centrally and delivered over broadband so as to be easily and quickly implemented with minimum cost and disruption to HIE participants. To ensure ease of adoption, Axolotl HIE solutions deliver precisely the clinical information needed in the format that is familiar and natural to each provider, fitting easily into their existing work styles and workflows.
Today, Axolotl HIE solutions are delivering healthcare interoperability and stakeholder value to medical providers of every type and size:
Hospitals, health systems and community clinics have quickly formed coordinated care communities with their affiliated physicians, both EHR-equipped and paper-based, enabling all to qualify for Federal EHR Meaningful Use incentives.
RHIOs and States have successfully interconnected their medical centers, hospitals, clinicians, health plans, public health agencies, and community HIE systems, extending their continuum of care throughout both rural areas and urban centers.
Physicians instantly receive current patient information from medical trading partners at the point of care, thereby achieving significant savings in valuable clinician and staff time with automated electronic ordering, results delivery, referral management, e-prescribing, and mandated reporting.
Diagnostic Labs and Imaging Centers are receiving orders, delivering results, and transmitting all types of diagnostic images in high definition directly to client hospitals and ambulatory practices – instantly and automatically.
