dbMotion and Allscripts Partner to Create Connected Medical Communities

Companies partner to integrate Allscripts’ Electronic Health Record and dbMotion’s health interoperability and intelligence solution to enhance system usability and adoption of medical records for hospitals and ambulatory care facilities
HIMSS 2009 Annual Conference

dbMotion, a leading provider of health interoperability and intelligence solutions, and Allscripts, the clear leader in software, services, information, and connectivity solutions for physicians and hospitals, today agreed to create tightly integrated connectivity solutions that allow physician communities to see a more holistic view of their patient’s clinical record and to collaborate with providers throughout their community.

Under the terms of the agreement, Allscripts and dbMotion will develop joint solutions to present information in a seamless way to clinicians. Allscripts will offer the dbMotion™ Solution to its more than 700 healthcare system and hospital customers for the benefit of ambulatory physician groups affiliated with, or employed by, those hospitals, thereby offering another tool to enhance patient care through better physician collaboration and information sharing.

The dbMotion Solution is a proven service oriented architecture (SOA) based platform that enables healthcare organizations and exchanges to meaningfully integrate patient-centered information. dbMotion transforms care through the creation of a virtual patient record that logically connects patient information in existing systems throughout a community. This allows organizations to utilize the best clinical solutions at the point of care while enabling a cross-enterprise, integrated view of the patient’s care record.

“After studying the health interoperability landscape, it was clear that dbMotion was the only solution that could integrate information in a meaningful way, whether it was generated in the hospital or in the physician’s office,” said Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts, the leading provider of electronic health records with a client base of nearly one-third of the nation’s practicing physicians and the largest electronic prescribing vendor.

“We are excited to work with Allscripts whose proven experience empowering physicians, and meeting their needs through innovation, is leading the way to better healthcare for millions of Americans,” said Mr. Peter McClennen, President of North America for dbMotion. “This offering will deliver information to Allscripts’ customers in a new, connected and interoperable way that will benefit their caregivers in community and hospital settings alike.”
