The new offering will connect athenahealth’s centrally hosted, web-based services, athenaClinicals and athenaCollector, with Microsoft Amalga, an enterprise health intelligence platform.
By enabling the flow of data across care delivery settings, the athenahealth-Microsoft solution will enable better care coordination across outpatient and inpatient physicians and settings.
The athenaNet-Amalga connector, the technology that expedites and expands information exchange between the two solutions, will enable health systems to see inpatient and ambulatory information in a single view.
The aggregate data store within Amalga, which can include clinical, operational, and financial data, also enables valuable analytics across individual patient encounters and populations of patients.
Microsoft Health Solutions Group corporate vice president Peter Neupert said athenahealth and Microsoft share a common view on the importance of improving information sharing across the health system to address the data gaps faced by healthcare organizations striving to deliver optimal care.
