MEDITECH is helping to address interoperability in Canada with their Traverse solution. Unlike an HIE, Traverse does not store any health data. Instead, it uses a federated approach where the data remains in the source system. Here’s how it works. Healthcare IT Today recently had the opportunity to catch up with the MEDITECH team at Canada’s largest health IT conference – eHealth 2024 in Vancouver, BC. We spoke with Robert (Bob) Molloy, Director of Canadian Market & Product Strategy at MEDITECH. Molloy shared details about the company’s Traverse Exchange solution.

Before Guidewell DCMG implemented the Prisma AI service from eClinicalWorks, intake on a patient could take two days when the office was busy. Why this long? Guidewell operates in Florida and many patients come from out-of-state and their records are scattered among various HIEs and other healthcare organizations. Obtaining the records, reading them, and entering summaries into Guidewell’s own EHR was labor-intensive. Prisma AI and the Sunoh AI Medical Scribe have dramatically altered the patient visit for patient and physician alike. Prisma AI creates a summary of patient records focused on the specialty of the physician: “the good parts,” according to Lalith Samaraweera, Director of Clinical Informatics & Business Intelligence at Guidewell.

ModMed has been offering their cloud-based EHR for 15 years, so they have built up a database on more than 600 million unstructured texts in real-life clinical use. Therefore, now that they are adopting AI, their ambient listening tool can generate specific, highly accurate structured data from a patient interview. They don’t need a Large Language Model (LLM) the same way other ambient clinical voice companies need them, according to Cofounder and Co-CEO Dan Cane, so they can avoid the errors and lack of transparency found in LLM-based solutions. Listen to the video for more details about ModMed and their AI efforts. Learn more about ModMed: https://www.modmed.com/ Health IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

This video interviews leaders from a health information technology services firm, HCTec, and a front-line safety-net health care system, St. Barnabas Hospital in the South Bronx, New York City. In this extensive discussion, these leaders explain the elements of a successful partnership that implemented a new EHR, ERP system, and patient portal in about nine months. Michelle Moran, Chief Growth Officer at HCTec, explains that they have a wide range of expertise to aid with everything from onboarding digital systems to staff augmentation: "The right people in the right place," she says. Their long experience with systems such as Epic helps an organization that's new to the product, such as St. Barnabas, get the system working quickly and overcome unexpected problems. Jitendra Barmecha, MD, Senior VP and Chief Information and Digital Strategy Officer at St. Barnabas (SBH Health System), says they decided to overhaul their infrastructure 18 months ago. They started by installing an Oracle ERP system, then an Epic EHR along with the Epic portal, MyChart.
