Announces the Successful First Stage
Rollout of Community Medical Centers’ Physician
Portal
SALT LAKE
CITY, UT, and FRESNO, CA, February 23, 2007—Medicity,
Inc., a leading provider of clinical interoperability
solutions, with Community Medical Centers (Community),
a nonprofit, locally owned health care system that
operates four acute-care hospitals and a variety of
other health facilities, announced the successful
first-phase rollout of its Physician Portal at Community
Medical Centers.
“Community’s
objective was to provide an intuitive web-based clinical
application that would integrate the disparate information
from our legacy systems that would be easily accessible
through a single sign-on, single user-interface from
a physician’s office, home, or the hospital,”
says George Vasquez, Community’s Chief Technology
Officer. He adds, “We kicked off Medicity’s
Physician Portal project with a pilot group of physicians
in August of 2006. They provided valuable feedback,
and the product was further tailored to our needs.
Now we have rolled out our physician portal, and it
is available for a larger number of physicians and
their office staffs.”
“The rollout
of our Physician Portal represents a key enhancement
for the medical staffs’ workflow at all Community
facilities,” says Dr. Michael Peterson, Community’s
Chair of Department of Medicine. “It provides
us with the integrated patient information we need
in a user-friendly format. Clinical data available
in the Physician Portal includes data from our clinical
systems, as well as documents and PACS images.”
Medicity has been
widely recognized for their software product line
which manages the complex issues of clinical data
interoperability between legacy systems within a healthcare
enterprise and amongst the diverse clinical applications
found in the broader community. The complete Medicity
product offering includes both software infrastructure
and clinical application
