Circle Health, Cerner and eClinicalWorks: Collaborating to Improve Patient Care

2023-01-31T04:35:18-06:00

In 2013, Cerner was one of seven companies that founded CommonWell Health Alliance. Today, Cerner, along with other CommonWell member companies, has helped bring more than 5,000 providers live on CommonWell services. Circle Health was one of the first acute facilities to take CommonWell services live via Cerner. Circle Health quickly identified that many ambulatory practices in their network had the eClinicalWorks EHR in their offices and its physicians and patient population could benefit if eClinicalWorks participated in CommonWell. In 2016, eClinicalWorks joined CommonWell as a contributing member and quickly moved to building CommonWell services into its EHR to advance affordable nationwide health data sharing. Earlier this year, Circle Health and eClinicalWorks piloted eClinicalWorks’ first connection to CommonWell, which was implemented at one of Circle Health’s employed practices, Primary Care [...]

Live Demonstrations of CommonWell Services at the HIMSS 17 Interoperability Showcase

2023-01-31T04:35:20-06:00

Every you time you visit your health care provider, you mostly likely are faced with the daunting task of recalling your medical history – from yesterday to birth, in some cases. You fill out paper forms. You lug medical records from office to office. Or perhaps you decide it is too much work and just don’t share your clinical history. All of which leaves much to be desired in terms of ensuring you receive the best care possible. For years, the HIT industry has been trying to solve for this. CommonWell has made great strides in helping your providers (and you!) access your medical records regardless of where that care occurred, who provided it or what software system they are on. Next week at HIMSS17 in Orlando, two CommonWell members [...]

CommonWell and Carequality to Increase Health IT Connectivity Nationwide with New Collaborative Agreement

2023-01-31T04:35:21-06:00

The belief that collaboration is a key part of success is not a new one, especially when it comes to achieving nationwide interoperability in healthcare. We have always been dedicated to working together across the industry to break down the barriers to interoperability, which is why we are excited to share CommonWell Health Alliance and Carequality are increasing nationwide health IT connectivity by providing additional health data sharing options to the over 15,000 hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare organizations actively deployed under the Carequality framework or CommonWell network. The agreement outlines three objectives: CommonWell will become a Carequality implementer on behalf of its members and their clients, enabling CommonWell subscribers to engage in health information exchange through directed queries with any Carequality participant. Carequality will work with CommonWell to make [...]

Person-Centric from the Start

2023-01-31T04:35:21-06:00

As CommonWell continues to expand the services and reach of its interoperability network, the concept of a real person at the heart of different representations of a patient’s healthcare across different systems remains core to CommonWell’s mission to create a vendor-neutral platform that breaks down the technological and process barriers that currently inhibit effective health data exchange. From the onset of discussions within the CommonWell Health Alliance there was a clear requirement to conceptually connect all the instances of care to meet the goal of providing a complete picture of an individual’s healthcare in a timely fashion wherever they received care. As the service provider for CommonWell, RelayHealth helped solidify these principles and built the core services around the fundamental concepts of a person, representing the holistic individual, and a [...]

Healthcare Leaders Convene at 2016 Annual General Meeting and Fall Summit to Discuss Strategies for Expanding CommonWell

2023-01-31T04:35:22-06:00

Healthcare vendors and organizations came together at the 2016 CommonWell Health Alliance Annual General Meeting and Fall Summit Oct. 5-7 to continue the discussion on “interoperability for the common good.” For the second year in a row, MEDITECH was proud to host the event in our state-of-the-art Joanne Wood Conference Center and Auditorium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The event commenced with opening remarks and a year in review report from Jitin Asnaani, Executive Director of CommonWell. While last year’s meeting focused on deployment strategies, it’s evident the Alliance is growing and making strides in the industry as healthcare organizations recognize the value the network brings to providers and patients. Many member organizations are turning CommonWell’s concepts into a reality, with thousands of LIVE sites now utilizing the CommonWell network. With the [...]

Soon You Will Be Able to Access Your Own Health Data Thanks to CommonWell and Its Members

2023-01-31T04:35:22-06:00

From the beginning, CommonWell has been dedicated to a simple but crucial vision and underlying belief that health data should be available to individuals and providers regardless of where care occurs. After all, how many times have you arrived at a doctor’s appointment, only to have a clipboard handed to you to fill out your entire medical history, emergency contact information and information about other specialists you have seen? It has probably happened more than a few times, and with each handoff of the clipboard, you likely longed for a better way or wondered how it would all get taken care of in the event that you couldn’t fill out those forms yourself. At CommonWell, we believe that health data, regardless of where treatment occurs, should be available at your [...]
