Medicity’s innovative EMR Gateway facilitates clinical information exchange between EMRs and hospital systems.

It is impossible to gain a complete picture of a patient’s health without connecting the aggregate data from both the inpatient and outpatient environments. The MediTrust EMR Gateway acts as a central hub to allow the exchange of clinical data to and from:

		EMRs
		Hospital Information Systems
		Ancillary systems (including lab, radiology, pathology, transcription, and others)

Key Benefits of an EMR Gateway:

For Hospitals:

		Eliminates the technical hurdles of interoperating with EMR systems
		Reduces interface time (using Medicity interface library)
		Extends interoperability to include true electronic ordering
		Creates a single point of interface

For EMR vendors:

Creates one point of interface

For Physician Practices:

		Expands data available
		Enhances quality of data
		Extends the interaction between systems to include clinical ordering

For RHIOs and HIEs:

Advances interoperability within the care community

Advanced internet technologies drive Medicity’s EMR Gateway

The EMR Gateway pushes the envelope of clinical integration by employing advanced internet technologies—web services and web parts:

Web services are software services designed to manage software calls across a TCP/IP network. Web services eliminate the need to establish and maintain cumbersome (and expensive) VPNs or dedicated lines by using the public network to transmit information between systems. Medicity’s software library includes web services for major EMR vendors which allows us to implement data sharing with an EMR in days, rather than weeks or months.

Web parts are intelligent, interactive user interface components that EMR vendors can embed into their applications to add functionality like Medicity’s order initiation and order completion web parts. The embedded parts are adapted to the look and feel of the host application.

Clients immediately leverage Medicity’s investment in
EMR integration

Any organization that has already adopted the MediTrust DataStage is well positioned to implement the EMR Gateway.

Medicity worked closely with major EMR software vendors to develop its EMR Gateway. The results are:

		An extensive library of standardized interfaces into physician-office applications
		A robust toolkit for developing relationships with new EMR vendors
