ENGLEWOOD, Colo.-Quovadx, Inc. (Nasdaq: QVDX), a leading provider of software and services enabling Competitive Process Advantage, today announced that Capital Heath, one of Canada's largest health regions serving 1.6 million people, has selected Quovadx for its electronic health record (EHR) project. Quovadx will deliver core technology, enabling secure and timely access to patient information.
"Patient identification is a key building block to our electronic health record project," said Donna Strating, Chief Information Officer for Capital Health. "We selected Quovadx for their proven experience delivering robust integration across enterprises. The boundaries of Capital Health expanded April 1, adding approximately 105,000 residents. We need a technology platform that can grow with us. We're confidant Quovadx delivers the best-of-breed technology we need for today and for our future."
The EHR is a secure, shared electronic health information system that will give authorized Capital Health users convenient, timely access to region-wide patient-centered information at the point of care. Patients, physicians and staff will soon recognize improved quality of care and an enhanced health care system. Capital Health's client registry was one of seven health care projects across Canada to receive funding for the development of a pan-Canadian EHR system through a partnership with Canada Health Infoway.
A long time Quovadx customer, Capital Health will use QDX Platform V Screen Rejuvenator to actively integrate nine health information systems (HIS) with the ALIGNDEX(R) software, an enterprise-wide master person index (EMPI) product of Madison Information Technologies, Inc., distributed by Quovadx. Within the next eighteen months, Capital Health intends to add three additional health information systems to its project plans.
"Canada has recognized electronic health record projects as an essential component of modern health systems," said Mike Epplen, vice president of product management for Quovadx. "EHRs will contribute to improved efficiency, quality of care, patient safety and access to patient information. Quovadx is pleased to deliver a key building block for Capital Health's initiative."
