Users of Allscripts, Greenway Health, and InterSystems will soon benefit from new EHR-integrated health IT solutions.
Allscripts, Greenway Health, and InterSystems each announced new partnerships with health IT solutions providers this week that will leverage patient health data to improve care delivery.
In an effort to promote safe prescribing practices and improve medication management, Allscripts partnered with Israel-based artificial intelligence patient safety solutions provider MedAware.
Allscripts users utilizing dbMotion will have access to point-of-care interventions with MedAware’s solution. The machine learning-enabled clinical decision support and patient safety solution will assist Allscripts in utilizing health data for better-informed prescribing practices.

“This partnership is a huge milestone for MedAware,” said MedAware Co-founder and CEO Gidi Stein, MD. “We look forward to demonstrating the impact our clinical monitoring technology will have on providing safer patient care and helping to curb the opioid epidemic that continues to devastate families and communities throughout the US.”
The solution’s medication monitoring technology utilizes machine-learning algorithms and outlier detection mechanisms to identify adverse drug reactions and flag potentially life-threatening prescriptions for providers.
By enabling providers to more easily spot potential adverse drug interactions at the point of care, Allscripts will help healthcare organizations and hospitals reduce patient safety threats.
Greenway Health’s newest partnership will allow users to access EHR-integrated remote patient monitoring solutions.
The EHR company is teaming up with digital health company Qardio to enable providers to equip their patients with wireless blood pressure monitors, smart scales, and body analyzers.
These health IT tools help providers more effectively monitor their patients’ health outside the traditional care setting.
“We’re pleased to partner with Qardio through the marketplace to enable our customers to easily evaluate and select solutions such as Qardio’s that support their success in care delivery,” said Greenway Corporate Development Vice President Greg Shilling.
The remote patient monitoring platform increases clinical efficiency by reducing the need for routine visits and leveraging contextual patient health data for better-informed patient care. Optimizing remote patient monitoring can also help to support preventative care and chronic care management.
“Doctors get faster and more efficient access to remote monitoring that fits easily in their daily workflow,” said Qardio Business Development Vice President Martina Janeckova.
Finally, InterSystems recently announced a collaboration with not-for-profit Blue Cross Blue Shield licensee Premera Blue Cross.
Premera Blue Cross provides comprehensive health benefits and tailored services to residents across the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
InterSystems is teaming up with Premera to combine clinical data from health information exchanges (HIEs) and EHR systems with claims data to provide a comprehensive picture of each patient’s information.
Integrating clinical and claims data will allow Premera to more effectively manage risk.
“By combining claims and clinical data, we enable providers to better understand a patient’s health issues in real time,” said Premera Director of Corporate Data and Analytics Colt Courtright.
“For example, a doctor knows what prescriptions have been written, but not if they have been filled,” he continued. “Combining clinical and claims data in real time fills that gap and gives doctors a much more complete picture of their patients’ health, empowering a richer care experience.”
Together, InterSystems and Premera aim to leverage patient data to better support patients with high-level care needs.
“Disconnects between providers and patients have been, and will continue to be, a huge pain point in our healthcare system,” said InterSystems HealthShare Vice President Don Woodlock.
“Bringing together clinical and claims data provides Premera greater insight into their customers and allows them to innovate in new and exciting ways,” he added. “This allows them to be better partners and collaborators with their network of providers which leads to better outcomes for everyone.”
These newest partnerships between EHR companies and health IT solutions providers demonstrates the potential for collaboration to optimize health data utilization for more effective care delivery.
