Mirth, LLC Tapped by Health First Network, Inc. for Population Health and Risk Management
Mirth,      LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality      Systems, Inc . (NASDAQ: QSII) and a global leader in health      information technology, announced today that HealthShare Exchange of      Southeastern Pennsylvania, Inc. (HSX), a non-profit health information      exchange (HIE) organization, will deploy various Mirth® Solutions to enable the secure electronic exchange of patient health      records and claims data throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania. Under the agreement , Mirth will support these core HIE functions for HSX:
simple, secure messaging ( Mirth® Mail ) using the Direct protocol and a provider directory to send        and receive referrals, care alerts, test results, and other clinical        communications;
a data interface/integration engine ( Mirth® Connect ) that builds connections with hospital health information        systems to receive data feeds, including ADT        (admission-discharge-transfer) alerts, continuity-of-care documents,        lab reports, radiology reports, and transcribed documents;
a master patient index ( Mirth® Match );
and a central data repository (CDR) ( Mirth® Results ). Founded in 2009 and incorporated as a non-profit in 2012, HSX is a      collaboration among major healthcare stakeholders, including health      plans and the acute care hospitals in Southeastern Pennsylvania that      facilitates the exchange of patient data between hospitals and insurers      within the region. By employing Mirth Solutions, HSX will enable its members – more than 50 hospitals, medical practices, clinics and insurers – to      collaborate by sharing patient health records and claims data with the      data accessible at the point of care, regardless of care setting and      electronic health record (EHR) system. According to Martin Lupinetti, executive director of HSX, the exchange      has a goal to connect nearly 100 percent of approximately 15,000      providers, and virtually all hospitals, in the greater Philadelphia      area, as well as community health centers, City of Philadelphia health      clinics, and participating health plans. “Our market and our state have significant opportunities to make greater      use of health information exchange to produce meaningful benefits for      the healthcare system,” says Lupinetti. “Employing Mirth solutions, we      can build a more mature health information exchange and support our role      as a health information service provider (HISP) — making information in      electronic health records available for secure use across the system,      from and to entities with different record systems. I am confident that      with Mirth powering our engine, HSX will be equipped to enable medical      centers, insurers, and practice offices to share information needed to      make patient care more informed, more efficient, and more effective,      regardless of the health information technology platforms used in each      provider environment.”
Mirth has more than 40 such HIE clients including: Health Information      Network of Arizona; Chesapeake Regional Information System for Our      Patients (CRISP), in Maryland; Quality Health Network, in Western      Colorado; and HealtheConnections, in New York. “As the changing healthcare marketplace continues to dictate the need      for increased information exchanges, HIEs are becoming a pivotal      component to achieve current regulatory requirements and future industry      initiatives. However, without the ability to integrate and report      real-time health information from disparate systems at different care      and payer organizations, HIEs cannot succeed,” said Jon Teichrow, senior      vice president of research and development for Mirth . “With its scale, number of health system members, and inclusion of      claims data in its service design, HSX is a unique and ambitious      undertaking in the HIE realm. It stands to set precedents in overcoming      interoperability challenges and serve as an example for building an HIE      in a major, concentrated population area, with many competing providers      and insurers. Mirth will supply a range of support to help this exchange      succeed in making real-time health information broadly available across      different care and payer organizations.”
HSX’s agreement with Mirth will help to extend the benefits of health      information exchange to some four million lives in the greater      Philadelphia area and eventually millions more in the surrounding      region. Additionally, Mirth will host services for HSX at its Denver,      Colorado, data center. About HealthShare Exchange of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Inc. (HSX)

Quality Systems Inc.’s Mirth Selected by HealthShare Exchange of Southeastern Pennsylvania

Noble Health Alliance Reaches Physician Milestone
Mirth,      LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality      Systems, Inc . (NASDAQ: QSII) and a global leader in health information technology, announced today that Health      First Network, Inc. (HFNI), an Independent Physicians Association      (IPA), has selected Mirth Care Enterprise as a critical component of      their healthcare information technology strategy. With more than 700      physicians and 200+ care extenders throughout Northwest Florida, HFNI      will use Mirth Care Enterprise to support the delivery of high-quality      care across their patient populations, improve health outcomes and      reduce operational costs. Through this relationship, the organizations      will build and sustain new healthcare delivery models while preserving      physician membership independence. The association will employ Mirth Care Enterprise to connect disparate      Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology used by member providers;      coordinate clinical and administrative data to help avoid duplicate      tests and other unnecessary medical treatments; and, gather, analyze and      benchmark performance across the network. To improve care quality and      coordination across its growing network of providers and patients, in      both fee-for-service and risk-based payment patients, HFNI will deploy      the technology in its Medicare ACO and aims to leverage its capabilities      to support their expansion into Medicaid shared-risk arrangements. “Having much-needed access to important clinical and financial      information that historically lived in disparate health information      systems enables us to better understand patient activity and proactively      coordinate care across our entire network,” explained Richard M. Tuten,      president and chief executive officer for HFNI. “The Mirth Care      Enterprise platform provides our physicians with the tools needed to not      only make informed clinical decisions, but to fully understand and know      their patient population. We believe we are in an excellent position to      align practices with an ACO model, lead in payer negotiations, and are      also well equipped to support practices with the level of coordination      and patient population management required to succeed in emerging      value-based and shared-risk environments.”
“The harmonization of clinical, financial, and operational data can      empower physician leadership and care coordination teams to guide      actions that directly align with revenue and quality goals,” stated Jon      Teichrow, senior vice president of research and development for Mirth . “Mirth Care Enterprise incorporates comprehensive patient engagement and      care coordination technology solutions that decrease healthcare costs      and maximize new revenue opportunities for physician practices. Partnering with organizations like Health First reaffirms our ability to      provide the vendor neutral population health management market with a      comprehensive solution that supports care management and analytics      across diverse ambulatory EHR platforms.”

Mirth LLC Tapped by Health First Network Inc. for Population Health and Risk Management

Shahid’s No BS guide to patient engagement  at #HIMSS15
Mirth,      LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality      Systems, Inc . (NASDAQ: QSII) and a global leader in health information technology, announced today the launch of Mirth® Care Enterprise , a comprehensive population health management suite      that bridges the gap between population health management and individual patient care. Mirth Care Enterprise can help healthcare organizations manage patient      populations, reduce costs, and improve outcomes – for individual      patients – as they refine best practice population management to ensure      success with value-based and accountable care models. Mirth has architected a vendor-neutral, cloud-based chronic disease and      care management platform that engages patients and drives population      health outcomes using clinical, financial, claims, and other diverse      data integrated across the entire healthcare community. With the      insights gleaned from data available to each care manager at the point      of care, providers can distinguish between high-risk and low-risk      patients; tailor care plans for patient complexity; better manage care      team performance; and ultimately reduce the cost of care for a positive      impact on the health of a defined population. Organizations can combine data from disparate sources with this central      data repository, proven interoperability, and chronic disease management      offering. The agile data warehouse platform can help measure outcomes,      standardize best care practices, and eliminate harmful, ineffective, and      costly waste. Evidence-based care plans, combined with underlying      business process management technology, support the delivery of      high-quality, cost-effective care across the continuum to help improve      outcomes and increase both patient and provider satisfaction. As one of the fastest-growing ACOs in the market designated by the      National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a Level 3 Patient      Centered-Medical Home (PCMH), Crystal Run Healthcare is proving that      high-functioning solutions like Mirth Care Enterprise can support      providers and organizations through growth and transformation to succeed      as healthcare providers of tomorrow. “As a value-driven organization, our executives and providers want a      unified and flexible view of data from EHRs as well as other clinical      and financial applications, both from Crystal Run as well as our      partners. Having these data allows us to optimize the care we provide      while maintaining cost effectiveness and patient safety,” said Dr.      Gregory Spencer, chief medical officer for Crystal Run Healthcare. “By      combining data sources from our organization and our trading partners,      population health management, chronic disease management,      interoperability and data warehousing technology with sophisticated      analytics applications at Crystal Run, we have established something      quite unique in the healthcare industry. It’s this type of innovation      and collaboration that will propel healthcare transformation forward and      we are pleased to be a part of that process.”
“The ability to manage the health of the entire patient population is      key to moving healthcare to a value-based delivery model. But to manage      a population, providers need to manage the individual patient first –      make healthcare personal,” said Jon Teichrow, senior vice president of      research and development for Mirth . “Personalized medicine requires a platform that enables data liquidity      and provides meaningful analytics based on comprehensive information and      complete patient data. We’ve done that with Mirth Care Enterprise and      we’ve developed a platform from which organizations, care managers and      patients alike can benefit. Our analytics-driven solution is extensible,      transparent and designed to provide patient-centered care. It has the      essential design characteristics to help users measure the highest value      activities that reduce costs and improve outcomes for the patient, the      organization and the growing value-driven healthcare market.”
